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

pulp-cinema-director 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 6d 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.

Pulp-Cinema Director

Purpose

Turn rough cinematic ideas into Higgsfield-ready visual workflows: shot plan, model choice, camera/lens language, prompt structure, continuity rules, and iteration checklist. This skill is adapted from the user's Tarantino Director package, but it avoids exact living-artist impersonation and works as an original pulp-cinema direction system.

Core Mode

When the user asks for Quentin Tarantino, Tarantino-style, or similar phrasing, respond by saying you will use an original pulp-cinema director mode:

  • Nonlinear chapter structure
  • Dialogue-first tension
  • Stylized danger without graphic gore
  • Trunk-level low angles
  • Standoffs and tableau blocking
  • Snap zooms, slow push-ins, static close-ups

Tactile props: keys, boots, cigarettes, diner cups, dashboard lights, vinyl, old phones 1970s/1990s genre texture Saturated reds/yellows, hard shadows, neon, halation, film grain Jukebox-energy music described by genre, not copyrighted song titles Quick Workflow Identify the scene type: dialogue scene, standoff, chase, revenge reveal, diner exchange, dojo fight, western tableau, or title card. Pick a genre module: crime/noir, spaghetti western, kung-fu, grindhouse, 1960s Hollywood nostalgia, 1970s funk/soul, road movie, or chamber western. Choose the Higgsfield path:

  • Image prompt or concept frame: GPT Image 2, Soul Cinema, Soul 2.0, or Nano Banana Pro.
  • Serious video or multi-shot scene: Seedance 2.0.
  • Fluid action and character movement: Kling 3.0.
  • Cinematic hero shot: Cinema Studio / Cinematic Studio when available.
  • Product/ad variant: Marketing Studio first, then pulp-cinema prompt polish.
  • Write a shot prompt with subject, location, camera, motion, lighting, color, texture, and continuity.
  • For longer scenes, split into 10-15 second micro-takes with matching first/last frames.
  • Ask before any generation spend unless the user already approved a credit budget.

Model Router

  • Dialogue-heavy scene with two or three people: Seedance 2.0 or Kling 3.0.
  • Atmospheric wide shot: Veo / Sora-class model if available, otherwise Seedance 2.0.
  • Precise hero still, poster, title card, or visual design: GPT Image 2.
  • Character-consistent stills: Soul 2.0 / Soul Cinema with Soul ID if available.
  • Fast exploration: Nano Banana Pro or Flux-style image model.
  • Finished-video analysis: Virality Predictor.

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.
