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

storyboard-cheatcode 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 3d 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.

Storyboard Cheatcode

name: storyboard-cheatcode description: Turn a one-line concept into a multi-panel previs storyboard image, then optionally a cheap-preview video and a hero video render. Uses the Higgsfield MCP server (image and video tools). Asks the user before every render and never assumes budget tolerance. Use when the user asks to build a storyboard, plan AI video shots, generate a previs sheet, or wants an AI video from a concept. storyboard-cheatcode A previs-first AI-video pipeline. You generate a multi-panel storyboard image, then offer escalating render tiers — cheap preview first, hero render only on confirmation. All generation runs through the Higgsfield MCP server.

Operating principle — always ask, never guess Every step begins by asking the user. Do not pre-fill creative choices, do not infer budget tolerance, do not chain steps without explicit confirmation.

Renders cost real credits (~7 per storyboard image, ~50–70 per 12s 720p Seedance clip). The user is the creative director; you are the operator. Iterating cheaply on the storyboard image before any video render is the single biggest cost saver. Prerequisite The user must have the Higgsfield MCP connector added to Claude. If the Higgsfield tools (e.g. higgsfield_generate_image, higgsfield_generate_video) are not available in this session, stop and tell the user:

Add the Higgsfield connector first: Settings → Connectors → Add custom MCP → URL: https://mcp.higgsfield.ai/mcp. Sign in with your Higgsfield account when prompted.

Then re-run the skill.

Step 1 — Collect inputs (one batched ask) Ask the user for all of these in a single message. Do not ask one at a time. Mark each clearly:

  1. CONCEPT — one sentence describing the scene or sequence
  2. ASPECT RATIO — 16:9 (default), 9:16, or 1:1
  3. NUMBER OF PANELS — 4, 6 (default), or 9
  4. PANEL ART STYLE — photoreal cinematic (default), manga, noir ink, hand-drawn storyboard, Pixar warmth, or your own
  5. FACE / CHARACTER REFERENCE — image URL or uploaded image (or "none")
  6. PRODUCT / OBJECT REFERENCE — image URL or uploaded image (or "none")
  7. HARD NEGATIVES — anything that must NOT appear (e.g. "no weapons", "no on-screen text") When their answers come back, echo a one-line plan summary and ask explicitly: "Ready to generate the storyboard sheet?" Do not proceed without a yes.

Step 2 — Generate the storyboard sheet Build a single prompt that:

Names the grid explicitly: "A {N}-panel storyboard previs sheet, laid out as a {rows}×{cols} grid on a black background with thin white panel borders. Each panel labeled in clean white sans-serif text in the bottom-left corner ('SHOT 1' through 'SHOT {N}') with a short scene title." Describes each panel in 1–2 sentences. Always include the camera angle per panel (wide establishing / medium / close-up / low hero angle / over-shoulder / etc). Lists negatives under a HARD RULES: block, spelled out explicitly. Ends with: "ONE single image — the entire {N}-panel sheet in one composition, {aspect}. Each panel {style}." Call the Higgsfield MCP image tool. Use gpt_image_2 as the model (best for grids, text, detail). Pass any provided reference images.

higgsfield_generate_image( model = "gpt_image_2", prompt = "", aspect_ratio = "", resolution = "2k", quality = "high", reference_images = [, ] ) The MCP returns a job_id. Immediately call higgsfield_wait_for_job(job_id) and wait for the result URL.

Show the resulting image to the user. Then ask:

  • Regenerate with feedback (tell me what to change)
  • Generate an end-frame anchor (lock the final shot of the video)

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.
