Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

authoring-motion-diagrams scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 71 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Authoring motion diagrams

Every marketplace entry has one authored scene at scripts/animations/scenes/<plugin>.svg, shown on that plugin's detail page. docs/plugins/<plugin>/anim.mp4 and anim-poster.png are derived from it. Never patch the video — change the scene and re-render.

A scene must say what the plugin does: what moves, in what order, and what is different at the end. A scene where things merely move is decoration.

Flow

  1. Read the plugin's category from .claude-plugin/marketplace.json, then take that category's mark and ink from scripts/animations/palette.js. One accent per scene.
  2. Copy references/scene-template.svg to scripts/animations/scenes/<plugin>.svg.
  3. Compose the beats. references/binding.md has the tokens, the beat pattern, and the scene mechanics already in use — reuse one rather than inventing a shape.
  4. node scripts/animations/render.js --check — validates the contract in about a second, no Chrome. Run it constantly, not once at the end.
  5. node scripts/animations/preview.js <plugin> — one frame, ~1s. AT=0.3 for another moment. This catches what no checker can: a label sitting on a connector, a box crossing its frame, a path ending in mid-air.
  6. node scripts/animations/render.js <plugin> — mp4 + poster, ~75s.
  7. npm run generate && npm test.
  8. Commit the scene, the mp4 and the poster together. They drift the moment they don't.

What --check enforces

Gate Rule
Cycle every dur is 8s, repeatCount="indefinite", events placed in keyTimes
Counts keySplines = n−1, values = n, keyPoints = n. A mismatch disables the animation silently
Ground a #faf9f6 rect is the first element
Type every text fill is a legal ink token — 4.5:1 on paper, computed not judged
Blocks solid rects use a category ink, so white type on them clears 4.5:1
Grid placement on 20px; existing scenes carry a frozen debt in grid-baseline.json and may only improve

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
