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: 2 findings, 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 →
- medium Excessive Agency · line 132 Skill enables autonomous high-impact decisions without human-in-the-loop verification. Critical operations (destructive commands, financial transactions, data deletion) should require explicit user confirmation.Fix: Add human-in-the-loop confirmation for destructive, irreversible, or high-impact operations. Never auto-execute commands that modify files, send data, or alter system state.
- low Privilege Escalation · line 101 Skill requests more permissions than appear necessary for its stated functionality. Review if elevated access is justified.Fix: Request only the minimum permissions required. Document why each permission is needed. Remove broad permissions like '*' or 'all'.
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 | $0.00127 | $0.06308 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00063 | $0.03154 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00025 | $0.01262 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00631 |
Grade A, and why
talking-head-podcast-recut 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 — 499 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Talking-Head Podcast Recut
Use this skill to turn existing speech-led media into truthful, useful derivative edits. The central obligation is editorial integrity: every cut must remain faithful to what the speaker meant in the source recording, and every commercial, synthetic, legal, or rights risk must be surfaced before publishing.
This is provider-independent. Use whatever local or hosted tools are available for transcription, diarization, editing, captions, audio repair, motion graphics, and export, but keep the workflow, ledgers, and review standards below intact.
Operating principle
Treat a recut as a quotation with pictures, not as raw material to rewrite.
- Do not create a clip whose apparent claim, emotional tone, chronology, or endorsement differs from the source.
- Do not use reaction shots, cutaways, captions, titles, or music to imply agreement, conflict, surprise, confidence, causality, or product endorsement that the original source does not support.
- Do not publish synthetic voice, face, avatar, or reconstructed dialogue without explicit approval from the rights holder and the depicted/simulated person.
- Do keep enough context for the clip to be understandable without requiring the audience to know the full episode.
- Do keep an audit trail from final frame back to source timecode.
Intake: refuse to cut blind
Before editing, collect or infer a production brief. If any high-risk item is unknown, pause or mark it for approval.
Required brief fields:
- Source files or URLs, recording date, event name, speakers, host, guest, and known restrictions.
- Desired deliverables: single clip, clip batch, highlight reel, trailer, audiogram, captioned vertical video, LinkedIn cutdown, YouTube chapter clip, ad creative, internal sales enablement, or other use.
- Target platforms, aspect ratios, max duration, thumbnail/title/copy needs, caption style, language, brand guidelines, and review deadline.
- Intended use: organic editorial, paid ad, sales enablement, testimonial, investor update, course material, news, internal training, or archival.
- Rights status: who owns source footage, music, slides, screen shares, logos, transcript, and speaker likeness.
- Approval path: editor, producer, client, speaker/guest, legal/compliance, brand, accessibility, and final publisher.
- Risk notes: regulated topics, minors, medical/financial/legal claims, employment claims, politics/elections, customer testimonials, unreleased product information, confidential call participants, or sponsor/affiliate relationships.
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.
