OpenMontage is an agent-driven video production system that uses coding assistants to handle tasks such as research, scripting, asset creation, editing, and composition. It is intended for people who want to produce videos through natural-language instructions and includes the project's workflows as catalogue add-ons.
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.

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 | $0.00167 | $0.02005 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00084 | $0.01002 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00033 | $0.00401 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00200 |
Grade A, and why
manimgl-best-practices 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.

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.

manimgl-best-practices is a skill published in the GitHub repository calesthio/OpenMontage (56,948 stars, last pushed 5d ago), licensed AGPL-3.0. It adds 167 tokens to every session and 2,005 once invoked, about $0.0008 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.
