social-short-production

social-short-production is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/generative-media-skills. It costs 137 tokens per session (7,091 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A production guide for short, vertical videos made for TikTok, Instagram and Facebook Reels, YouTube Shorts, or LinkedIn. It covers planning, editing, delivery, and improvement for each platform.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to turn a brief, script, transcript, or source video into platform-ready short videos and cutdowns.
Why use it?
It avoids treating every platform as the same and separates verified platform facts from practices that still need testing.

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

social-short-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 12d 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 — 430 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Social Short Production

Produce an intentional short video, not merely a vertical crop. Treat each platform as a distinct playback, interface, policy, and measurement environment.

Evidence labels

Interpret guidance by its label:

  • Documented fact — stated by a platform, regulator, standard, or other primary authority. Recheck volatile facts before delivery.
  • Research finding — supported in a cited study but bounded by that study's population and context.
  • Production heuristic — a starting practice to test against the brief, audience, platform preview, and analytics; never present it as an algorithmic rule.

Do not turn a heuristic such as “hook in three seconds,” “cut every two seconds,” or “master at -14 LUFS” into a universal requirement. Platform metrics and recommendation systems change, and audience intent can outweigh tempo.

Define the production contract

Before scripting or cutting, resolve the fields that can change the result:

  1. Objective: awareness, qualified attention, education, community response, lead/action, or conversion. Select one primary outcome and at most two guardrails.
  2. Audience state: who is watching, what they already know, what they doubt, and why this clip is relevant in this viewing context.
  3. Promise: the specific value delivered by watching. Make it provable inside the clip.
  4. Source of truth: approved brief, transcript, footage, product build, data, citations, or spokesperson. Mark unverified claims.
  5. Distribution surfaces: exact organic, paid, boosted, or partner placements. “Social” is not a platform specification.
  6. Action after viewing: remember, comment, save, share, follow, click, install, purchase, or watch a longer item.
  7. Constraints: duration ceiling, languages, brand rules, accessibility, age or regulated category, review deadline, budget, and available analytics.
  8. Rights and representation: owners and license scope for footage, music, graphics, fonts, trademarks, likenesses, voices, testimonials, and synthetic media.

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.
