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

reels-scripting 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 13d 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.

Reels Scripting

CRITICAL: Auto-start on load

When this skill triggers, go straight to Step 1. Do not summarise.

Prerequisites

This skill needs:

  • APIFY_API_TOKEN environment variable (Instagram scraping)
  • GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY environment variable (Gemini 2.5 Flash video analysis)
  • Node.js 18+ and the apify-client and @google/generative-ai packages

If either env var is missing, tell the user to run:

! export APIFY_API_TOKEN=your_token
! export GOOGLE_AI_API_KEY=your_key

Then stop until both are set.

Step 1. Get the reference

Ask:

Paste the reference Reel URL or Notion link. This is the outlier Reel you want to reverse-engineer the format from.

Wait for the URL.

If the user pastes a Notion link, follow it via WebFetch, locate the Instagram Reel URL on the page, and extract it. If no Reel URL is found on the Notion page, ask the user to paste the Reel URL directly.

Step 2. Get the newsletter topic

Ask:

What's the topic from your newsletter you want to repurpose into this Reel? Paste the relevant newsletter section, or type the core idea in a sentence.

Wait for the topic. Read newsletter-voice.md, voice.md, and about-me.md from the project if they exist, so the script matches the user's voice.

Step 3. Scrape and download the Reel

Create ~/Desktop/Reels/ if it does not exist. Write a Node.js script at ~/Desktop/Reels/analyse-reel.js that:

  1. Uses apify-client to call apify/instagram-reel-scraper with { directUrls: [reelUrl], resultsLimit: 1 }. If that returns no items, fall back to { urls: [reelUrl], resultsLimit: 1 }, then apify/instagram-scraper with { directUrls: [reelUrl], resultsType: 'posts', resultsLimit: 1 }.
  2. Extracts videoUrl from the returned item.
  3. Downloads the video to ~/Desktop/Reels/downloads/{username}_{shortCode}.mp4.
  4. Saves raw scrape data to ~/Desktop/Reels/reel_data_{shortCode}.json.

Run the script. Confirm file size and metadata (views, likes, comments, caption first 200 chars) before continuing.

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.
