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.

SkillSpector: 1 finding, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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 | $0.00097 | $0.05930 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00048 | $0.02965 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.01186 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00010 | $0.00593 |
Grade A, and why
motion-graphics-direction 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 11d 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 — 465 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Motion Graphics Direction
Use this skill to turn a video brief into motion graphics that explain, emphasize, brand, or pace the piece. Treat motion as editorial direction: every move should reveal meaning, guide attention, clarify structure, or create a deliberate feeling.
This is provider-independent. Use it before choosing a model, renderer, animation library, editing tool, or compositing environment.
Evidence stance
Documented facts:
- WCAG 2.2 requires web content to avoid flashes above the three-flashes threshold and documents that interaction-triggered motion should be disableable unless essential. Verified 2026-07-10 from W3C WCAG Understanding pages.
- W3C Technique C39 documents
prefers-reduced-motionas a way to let users prevent animations. Verified 2026-07-10. - WCAG contrast guidance sets 4.5:1 for normal text and 3:1 for large text at Level AA, with higher AAA ratios. Verified 2026-07-10.
- Apple, Material Design, Microsoft Fluent, and IBM Carbon all treat motion as a design-system behavior with purpose, timing, easing, accessibility, and consistency constraints rather than decoration. Verified 2026-07-10.
- Netflix timed-text guidance uses two-line maximums and language-specific line-length limits such as 42 characters per line for many Latin-script subtitle templates. Verified 2026-07-10.
- Datawrapper explains why bar and column charts should normally start at zero, because bar length encodes magnitude. Verified 2026-07-10.
Empirical observations from production practice:
- Viewers read motion graphics in a small number of attention windows: entry, hold, emphasis, exit. Crowding too many simultaneous changes often lowers comprehension.
- AI-generated and template-driven videos often fail because overlays compete with the subject, data marks animate without scale context, and typography is chosen for style before legibility.
- Strong motion packages usually feel simple because many hidden choices are locked: type scale, grid, safe areas, easing family, timing ratios, transitions, caption policy, and data-label policy.
What ships with it
1 file 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.

motion-graphics-direction is a skill published in the GitHub repository calesthio/generative-media-skills (170 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 97 tokens to every session and 5,930 once invoked, about $0.0005 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.
