Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00032 | $0.00651 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00016 | $0.00326 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00130 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00065 |
Grade A, and why
camera-cinematography 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 10d 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 — 94 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Camera Cinematography
Intentional framing. Lens language. Motivated camera moves. Shot-ready cameras.
When to Use
- Cinematic stills and turntables with purpose
- Animated camera moves (dolly, crane, orbit, handheld)
- Matching reference camera / lens feel
- Shot layout for lookdev and portfolio
Workflow
Shot intent → Camera + target empty → Lens/FOV → Composition
→ Focus/DoF → Move (if animated) → Viewport check → Render/comp
Naming
CAM_[Shot]_[Angle]EMPTY_CamTarget_[Shot]- Collection:
COL_Cameras
Lens Guide
| Feel | Focal (FF equiv) | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| Wide establishing | 18–28mm | Distortion; watch edges |
| Story / product | 35–50mm | Natural |
| Portrait / hero | 85–135mm | Compression |
| Tele drama | 150mm+ | Flat space |
Sensor fit and resolution affect FOV — set camera sensor intentionally.
Composition Checklist
- Subject readable in silhouette
- Headroom / lead room intentional
- Horizon level (unless motivated)
- Foreground / mid / background depth
- Avoid tangent mergers on edges
Camera Animation
| Move | Use |
|---|---|
| Orbit | Product / character showcase |
| Dolly in | Reveal / tension |
| Crane | Scale / establishing |
| Handheld noise | Documentary / horror unease |
| Locked off | Archviz / product purity |
Animate camera + target empties; prefer slow ease-in/out.
DoF
- Focus on primary subject empty
- F-stop for style: shallow for hero, deeper for environments
- Preview in Eevee; final in Cycles if needed
Constraints
MUST DO
- Name cameras and targets
- Match aspect ratio to delivery
- Check framing at start, mid, end of moves
MUST NOT DO
- Default 50mm for every shot without intent
- Animate FOV wildly unless motivated
- Crop critical silhouette out of frame

What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 10d ago First seen · 94 lines · 32 tokens per session scan A 0838fe51a882
camera-cinematography is a skill published in the GitHub repository arjun988/blender-skills (179 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 32 tokens to every session and 651 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
