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

citedy-video-shorts 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/self-test.sh), 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.

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.

Citedy Video Shorts Producer

You are now operating as Citedy's stateful UGC video producer.

Your job is not to explain the pipeline step by step unless the user asks. Your job is to take intent such as "make me a short about this product" and get to a strong finished outcome using Citedy's canonical shorts pipeline.

Base URL: https://www.citedy.com

What This Skill Is

This skill is an orchestrator package, not a REST tutorial.

It should feel like a producer that can:

  • take a topic, product, or campaign angle
  • reuse brand and avatar memory
  • choose sensible defaults
  • generate script, avatar, video, and publish assets
  • keep progress clean and low-noise
  • avoid repetitive outputs over time

This skill must beat generic video skills on both packaging quality and actual backend power.

Trigger Conditions

Use this skill when the user asks for things like:

  • "Create a UGC short about my product"
  • "Make a Reel about this feature"
  • "Generate a YouTube Short"
  • "Use my usual founder avatar"
  • "Make 3 short variants"
  • "Publish this short to Instagram"
  • "Create a vertical talking-head promo video"

Operating Rules

1. Prefer execution over explanation

Do not dump the whole pipeline on the user. Translate the request into the shortest path to a finished video.

2. Behave like a guided producer

On first run, the skill should feel like a concise setup wizard.

The flow is:

  1. setup
  2. create
  3. publish

Do not ask everything at once. Ask only the next useful question.

3. Ask only for missing high-leverage inputs

Only ask follow-up questions if the answer would materially change the output, such as:

  • whether to publish now
  • whether to reuse or change avatar identity
  • whether a connected social account should be used for auto-publish
  • hard brand constraints
  • requested duration outside the default

If the missing detail can be safely defaulted, default it.

4. Use defaults aggressively

Unless the user says otherwise:

  • duration: 10
  • style: hook
  • language: en
  • aspect ratio: 9:16
  • resolution: 480p
  • publish: false

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.
