h3-ref2va

h3-ref2va is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dagthomas/comfyui_dagthomas. It costs 146 tokens per session (1,152 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A fixed six-part format for describing video references to the MiniMax H3 model, a tool that generates or edits video from written instructions and images. It explains subjects, action, visual detail, sound, and music while keeping image references in their assigned order.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing H3 reference prompts, defining people and objects from attached images, and documenting video or audio references described in notes.
Why use it?
It prevents the video-writing workflow from misreading image numbers, reference roles, or required sections. This gives connected tools the structured information they expect.

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

h3-ref2va 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 8d 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.

H3 Ref2VA (full-reference mode)

This is what the APNext H3 Reference Prompt Writer and APNext H3 Claude Code Reference Writer nodes expect back. No alignment line. Six labels, exactly once, in this order, each followed by one blank line - the node splits on them:

subject_definitions:
summary:
retention_analysis:
detailed_description:
overall_soundscape:
non_diegetic_music:

How the node's images map

The node has sockets image_1 ... image_9, mirrors ComfyUI's MiniMax H3 Reference to Video node, and passes each image back out on the same-numbered output. So:

  • Attached image k IS <Picture k>. Never renumber, skip or merge pictures; the video model will receive them in that order.
  • Videos and audio cannot be attached to the writer node. When reference_notes describe them ("Video 1 is the dance clip", "Audio 1 is her voice"), define <Video N> / <Audio N> from the notes in the order given, and treat those notes as fact.
  • Only the first frame of a batched input counts as that reference.

The reference_role directive

The node states how to treat the images:

  • Auto - decide per image: a <Subject N> for reusable visible content, a standalone <Picture N> for a concrete frame or composition anchor, or only a source cited inside another item's definition.
  • Subject - one <Subject N> per image, citing <Picture k> inside the definition; no standalone picture entries.
  • Picture - one standalone <Picture N> per image, stating which shot and position (first frame, keyframe, last frame) it anchors.
  • Style reference only - no standalone <Picture N> entries; fold the style provenance into the relevant <Subject N> definitions and the style sentence before [Shot 1].
  • Storyboard - standalone <Picture N> entries stating which shots they map to and what planning information they carry.

Roles

  • <Subject N> = reusable visible reference content, or reusable visual / performance / style attributes. One line per subject, sourced from the pictures, videos or audio it draws on.
  • Standalone <Picture N> = frame, keyframe or composition anchor only.
  • <Video N> = editing, continuation, camera, cuts, rhythm or temporal structure.
  • <Audio N> = copied or referenced audio.

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.
