ffmpeg-keyframes

ffmpeg-keyframes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from cxcscmu/SkillLearnBench. It costs 24 tokens per session (225 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A command-line procedure for extracting keyframes from video with FFmpeg. Keyframes are complete video images that can be decoded on their own.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to extract I-frames from MP4 files as numbered PNG images and verify how many keyframes were found.
Why use it?
It provides still images for video analysis without exporting every frame or writing a custom video decoder.

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

ffmpeg-keyframes 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 3d 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 it actually says

FFmpeg Key Frame Extraction

Overview

Extract I-frames (keyframes) from video files. Keyframes are complete frames that don't depend on other frames for decoding.

Command

ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf "select=eq(pict_type\,I)" -vsync vfr output_%03d.png

Flags

  • -vf "select=eq(pict_type\,I)": Select only I-frames (key frames)
  • -vsync vfr: Variable frame rate to avoid duplicate frames
  • %03d: Zero-padded 3-digit numbering

Output

Produces files like output_001.png, output_002.png, etc. in timeline order.

Verify

ffprobe -i input.mp4 -select_streams v -show_frames -show_entries frame=pict_type | grep -c "pict_type=I"

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.
