media-use

media-use is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from calesthio/OpenMontage. It costs 84 tokens per session (1,456 once invoked), scanned C, original, AGPL-3.0.

A media-management tool that finds or reuses background music, sound effects, images, and icons, then saves a local copy and records where it came from. A local copy means the project can use the same file later.

In plain words
What is it for?
Resolving media needs, checking project and shared caches, searching the HeyGen catalogue, saving selected files locally, and recording them in a media ledger.
Why use it?
It keeps media selection organised and prevents a composition from depending on an unclear or changing external file.

    Fix: Avoid downloading and executing remote scripts. Use trusted packages from PyPI/npm. If remote fetch is required, verify checksums and use HTTPS.

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 C, and why

media-use scanned grade C with 2 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (scripts/eval.mjs, scripts/lib/adopt.mjs, scripts/lib/bgm-provider.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What this file has done since we first saw it
