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

video-generation 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/generate.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Video Generation Skill

Overview

This skill generates high-quality videos using structured prompts and a Python script. The workflow includes creating JSON-formatted prompts and executing video generation with optional reference image.

Core Capabilities

  • Create structured JSON prompts for AIGC video generation
  • Support reference image as guidance or the first/last frame of the video
  • Generate videos through automated Python script execution

Workflow

Step 1: Understand Requirements

When a user requests video generation, identify:

  • Subject/content: What should be in the image
  • Style preferences: Art style, mood, color palette
  • Technical specs: Aspect ratio, composition, lighting
  • Reference image: Any image to guide generation
  • You don't need to check the folder under /mnt/user-data

Step 2: Create Structured Prompt

Generate a structured JSON file in /mnt/user-data/workspace/ with naming pattern: {descriptive-name}.json

Step 3: Create Reference Image (Optional when image-generation skill is available)

Generate reference image for the video generation.

  • If only 1 image is provided, use it as the guided frame of the video

Step 3: Execute Generation

Call the Python script:

python /mnt/skills/public/video-generation/scripts/generate.py \
  --prompt-file /mnt/user-data/workspace/prompt-file.json \
  --reference-images /path/to/ref1.jpg \
  --output-file /mnt/user-data/outputs/generated-video.mp4 \
  --aspect-ratio 16:9

Parameters:

  • --prompt-file: Absolute path to JSON prompt file (required)
  • --reference-images: Absolute paths to reference image (optional)
  • --output-file: Absolute path to output image file (required)
  • --aspect-ratio: Aspect ratio of the generated image (optional, default: 16:9)

[!NOTE] Do NOT read the python file, instead just call it with the parameters.

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.
