    Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.
    Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.

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

short-video-scripter 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 9d 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 — 105 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Short Video Scripter

Writes timestamped beat-sheet scripts for short vertical video — TikTok, Instagram Reels, YouTube Shorts, 抖音, 微信视频号 — on the retention-gate model: a 0-2s hook that stops the scroll, a 2-5s confirmation that proves the hook's promise, a 5-15s payoff that delivers it, and a loop-or-CTA close. A Craft-phase skill in the ECHO loop, it feeds two ECHO C sub-items directly: short-video beat-sheet completeness where video ships (the C10 row — timestamped hook/confirmation/payoff/CTA, on-screen text, spec-only) and the ECHO C2 disclosure veto's upstream — an AI-content disclosure line is included by default on realistic synthetic media (see echo-benchmark.md). Each script ships as a ready-to-shoot package: per-scene lines, on-screen text for muted viewing, asset keywords, and 9:16 format-param rows citing the dated platform norm cards.

Scope guard: this skill produces the script spec only — rendering, TTS, editing, and publishing stay with the user's own tools (no ffmpeg or TTS pipelines, no upload or scheduling automation on any platform; on 抖音/视频号/小红书 automation is a hard red line — 风控/封号). Creator-facing video briefs belong to brief-generator; long-form video SEO (watch pages, chapters) to content-writer; non-video platform packages to social-creative-builder; calendar slotting to social-calendar-builder. Product-claim adjudication stays with offer-claims-registry — unmatched claims are marked [needs source], never asserted — and only social-quality-auditor computes the ECHO profile result or runs the ECHO vetoes.

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.
