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

video-caption-creation 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 1mo 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.

Video Caption Writer

Purpose

This skill creates algorithm-optimized captions and on-screen text for short-form video content using the "Triple Word Score" system to maximize reach and engagement.

Core Philosophy: Content serves the topic first. When you serve the topic correctly, algorithms will serve your content to people interested in that topic.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Create on-screen text hooks for video clips (3-5 options per clip)
  • Write captions for short-form video (TikTok, Instagram, YouTube Shorts, etc.)
  • Optimize video for algorithm discovery (topic identification in first 10 seconds)
  • Generate strategic hashtag sets (10-12, broad to specific)

Do NOT use for:

  • Text-only social posts (use social-content-creation skill instead)
  • Long-form YouTube videos (separate workflow)
  • Podcast show notes (separate podcast workflow)

The Triple Word Score System

Algorithms and humans need to immediately understand your content through FOUR signals:

1. Audio Transcript (MOST IMPORTANT)

  • What you say out loud - algorithms auto-transcribe this
  • Explicitly say topic words in first 10 seconds
  • Repeat core terminology throughout
  • Use natural speech patterns with topic-relevant vocabulary

2. On-Screen Text Reinforcement

  • Visual overlay that reinforces spoken words
  • Lead with topic words in first text overlay
  • Use bold, clear terminology
  • Don't compete with audio - reinforce it

3. Caption Copy Optimization

  • Post description with topic-relevant keywords
  • Open with topic-relevant phrases in first sentence
  • Include natural keyword variations
  • Provide context for algorithm understanding

4. Strategic Hashtag System

  • 10-12 hashtags (optimal range)
  • Mix broad and specific (#Productivity + #TimeManagement)
  • Include audience-specific (#Entrepreneurs)
  • Span from general to niche

When all four signals align, algorithms AND humans immediately recognize: "This is for me."
