amazon-nova-reel

amazon-nova-reel is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 69 tokens per session (6,156 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for Amazon Nova Reel, an asynchronous video-generation service in Amazon Bedrock that delivers results to Amazon S3. Asynchronous means you submit a job and collect the result later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for text-to-video, image-conditioned animation, and manual or automated multi-shot storyboards in existing AWS workloads.
Why use it?
It helps validate inputs, approve costs, submit safely once, and preserve the correct S3 output while accounting for Nova Reel's legacy status and planned end of life.

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

amazon-nova-reel scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 9d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 374 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Amazon Nova Reel production

Treat Nova Reel as an asynchronous production service, not a synchronous clip function. Plan the shots, validate every input, obtain an exact approval, submit once with an idempotency token, persist the invocation ARN, and promote only validated S3 artifacts.

All volatile facts in this skill were verified against first-party AWS sources on 2026-07-10. Recheck model access, Region, price, quota, and lifecycle immediately before a paid run.

Establish the current contract

Do not select Nova Reel as a new default. AWS's Bedrock lifecycle table marks both published Reel versions Legacy as of 2026-03-30, with EOL 2026-09-30:

Model Region(s) Current use
amazon.nova-reel-v1:1 us-east-1 Only an already-authorized, still-active workload that needs Reel 1.1 capabilities and has a funded exit plan
amazon.nova-reel-v1:0 us-east-1, eu-west-1, ap-northeast-1 Existing six-second legacy workloads only; do not migrate new work onto it

New customers cannot use Legacy models, existing customers may lose access after 15 days of inactivity, and new Provisioned Throughput cannot be created. On or soon after EOL, calls fail unless the customer has a private continued-access arrangement. Migration is not automatic. AWS's table does not identify an active Nova Reel successor, so do not invent one: for work that must operate past EOL, select another currently active provider unless AWS publishes a successor or the account team confirms a private arrangement.

Where the account has confirmed Reel 1.1 access and the delivery can finish before EOL, Reel 1.1 supports:

  • TEXT_VIDEO: one six-second text-to-video or image-to-video shot.
  • MULTI_SHOT_AUTOMATED: one long prompt expanded into 12–120 seconds in six-second increments; no input image.
  • MULTI_SHOT_MANUAL: an ordered list of six-second shots, each with a prompt and optional starting image; duration follows shot count, up to 120 seconds.
  • English prompts, 1280×720 output, 24 fps, silent video, asynchronous StartAsyncInvoke, and S3 delivery.

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.
