quickdesign

quickdesign is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from anthropics/claude-plugins-community. It costs 94 tokens per session (4,922 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A command-line workflow for generating and editing images and videos with hosted AI media models. It covers talking-avatar videos, multi-part promos, image changes, product creatives, and video upscaling.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create UGC or explainer videos, edit product images, produce batches of creatives, or increase video resolution to 1080p or 4K.
Why use it?
It handles model selection, request polling, and file storage so media-generation tasks do not require separate manual setup.

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

quickdesign 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 4d 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.

QuickDesign CLI skill

This skill teaches Claude how to plan and execute AI media generation through the quickdesign CLI. The CLI wraps QuickDesign's hosted models (Seedance 2.0 R2V/I2V, Kling, Sora 2, Nano Banana, GPT Image, video upscale) so a Claude session can produce videos and images directly from Bash without managing API keys, polling, or storage upload.

When to invoke

  • Talking-avatar / UGC video — "make a 30-second ad where this person says X", "convert this script to a video", "create a creator-selfie clip"
  • Multi-segment promo / explainer — anything where total speech is >15s (single Seedance segment cap) or where the user wants angle cuts / framing progression
  • Image edit / generation — angle change, state change, product on white background, lifestyle composite, brand-kit-styled creatives, multi-product reference composition
  • Video upscale — bring 720p / 1080p output to 1080p / 4K
  • Bulk / batch creative production — "do this for each of these 5 product photos"

Do NOT use for: pure text generation, code edits, search — those have their own tools.

Cardinal rules (read first, every time)

These apply to every generation. Breaking any of them produces visible defects.

  1. Default video model = seedance-2.0-r2v for ANY UGC / talking-avatar / promo / explainer / multi-scene work, regardless of duration or segment count. Don't downgrade to seedance-2.0-i2v because the script is "short enough" — R2V handles 4-15s single-shot just as well as multi-segment, and going through R2V from the start preserves every primitive this skill depends on (@Image1 references, multi---reference-image, --reference-audio voice continuity). Switch off R2V only on explicit user opt-in ("use Sora 2") or if R2V is unavailable in the registry.

    ⚠️ The name "i2v" (image-to-video) is misleading. R2V also accepts a single-image-to-video flow — just pass one --reference-image. Don't pick i2v because the task is "image-to-video as English". An agent reasoning chain like "user wants to animate static images → image-to-video → therefore seedance-2.0-i2v" is the silent regression this rule exists to prevent. Even when you're animating a single banana edit with no speech and no multi-ref needs, R2V is still the default — i2v adds nothing and forfeits the primitives if the next iteration of the task DOES need them.

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.
