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

audio-to-music-video 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 12d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 155 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Audio to Music Video

Single-pass ffmpeg synthesis of a music video from an audio file plus a chosen template. The audio is pristine (stream-copied where the container allows) and the visual is built entirely with ffmpeg's -filter_complex graph — no external editor needed.

Templates

Templates are stored in preferences.json under audio_to_video_templates and selected by name. Each template defines: visualizer type, layout, colour palette, optional cover-art treatment, and resolution. Built-in defaults ship in this skill's prose; users add their own via onboard or by editing preferences.json directly.

Built-in templates

Name Layout Visualizer
waveform-bottom full-frame blurred cover art bg + crisp cover art centered + linear waveform strip across bottom 15% showwaves (mode=cline)
spectrum-bars solid colour bg + cover art top-center + spectrum bars bottom 40% showfreqs (mode=bar, ascale=log)
circular-cqt-cover blurred cover bg + circular spectrum (showcqt) ring around centered cover showcqt
vector-scope dark bg + cover art top-left + Lissajous vector scope center avectorscope
volume-meter minimal — solid bg + cover art + horizontal volume meter showvolume

A template entry:

{
  "name": "waveform-bottom",
  "resolution": "1920x1080",
  "fps": 30,
  "bg": { "type": "cover-blur", "blur": 40, "darken": 0.3 },
  "cover": { "size": "60%", "position": "center", "shadow": true },
  "viz": {
    "filter": "showwaves",
    "mode": "cline",
    "size": "1920x162",
    "color": "white",
    "position": "bottom",
    "opacity": 0.9
  }
}

Procedure

1. Inputs

Field Default
Audio required (.mp3, .wav, .flac, .m4a)
Cover art optional path; if omitted and the audio has embedded cover art, extract it; else use bg.solid colour
Template name from preferences.audio_to_video_templates; default waveform-bottom
Title / Artist optional drawtext overlay
Output <basename>.mv.mp4

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.
