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

explainer-video-production 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.

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.

Explainer video production

Produce an explainer only after defining what the audience should understand, believe, decide, or do differently after watching. Treat the video as a learning and decision artifact, not as a sequence of pretty scenes.

This skill is provider-independent. Use the available generation, editing, composition, captioning, and review tools in the host environment, but keep the explainer logic, factual discipline, accessibility, and QA standards intact across providers.

Non-negotiables

  • Start from audience, prior knowledge, and a measurable learning or decision objective.
  • Separate documented facts, source-backed inferences, production heuristics, and creative inventions.
  • Maintain a claim log for factual, commercial, comparative, health, safety, legal, financial, scientific, and public-service claims.
  • Escalate high-risk claims to the client, subject-matter expert, legal/compliance reviewer, medical reviewer, financial reviewer, or policy owner. Do not provide legal, medical, or financial advice.
  • Build accessibility into script, storyboard, captions, audio, data visuals, and delivery variants. Retrofitting is weaker and more expensive.
  • Re-check volatile provider/platform facts at production time: social aspect ratios, maximum lengths, safe areas, caption behavior, model inputs, model limits, pricing, regional availability, disclosure rules, and rights/licensing terms.
  • Never ask an image or video generation model to invent evidence, render precise charts, preserve exact legal/medical/scientific statements, or create readable fine text. Use deterministic layout/composition for facts, citations, captions, tables, UI text, labels, and charts.

Intake: define the learning contract

Before writing or generating, answer:

  • Audience: Who is this for, what do they already know, what do they misunderstand, what language/register do they use, and what accessibility/localization needs are known?
  • Objective: What single sentence should the viewer be able to say, do, or decide after watching?
  • Use case: education, product, onboarding, training, public-service, fundraising, policy, sales enablement, social awareness, internal change management, or technical concept.
  • Success evidence: quiz answer, demo completion, reduced support question, sign-up, policy comprehension, behavior change, stakeholder approval, or share/save.
  • Constraints: duration, platform, brand, required sources, must-include/must-avoid claims, restricted imagery, voice, captions, languages, review approvers, budget, and tool availability.
  • Risk tier:
    • Low: general concept, internal orientation, non-sensitive creative explanation.
    • Medium: product benefits, nonprofit/public-service behavior guidance, data claims, employment/training requirements.
    • High: health, safety, legal, financial, regulated products, children, political persuasion, crisis guidance, comparative advertising, public statistics with policy implications.

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.
