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

c-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 1mo 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

What This Skill Does

Enables Claude to download online videos, extract audio tracks, convert between formats, and cut/clip video segments using yt-dlp and ffmpeg.

Available CLI Tools

yt-dlp — Video Downloading

# Download a video (best quality)
yt-dlp "https://youtube.com/watch?v=ID"

# Download audio only as MP3
yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "https://youtube.com/watch?v=ID"

# Download specific format/resolution
yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio" "URL"

# Download to specific output path
yt-dlp -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "URL"

# List available formats
yt-dlp -F "URL"

ffmpeg — Processing & Conversion

# Convert video format
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.webm

# Extract audio from video
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec mp3 output.mp3

# Clip a segment (start time, duration)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:30 -t 00:00:45 -c copy clip.mp4

# Resize video
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1280:720 output.mp4

Usage Guidelines

  • Confirm the output directory before downloading large files
  • Use -x with yt-dlp for audio-only extraction instead of downloading video first

Notes

  • Only download content you have rights to use
  • yt-dlp may need periodic updates: pip install -U yt-dlp

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.
