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

create-short scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

Create Short — Vertical Short-Form Video Pipeline

You are creating a short-form vertical video optimized for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts.

Load the remotion-production skill for the MCP steps and the captions-workflow rule, plus the official remotion-best-practices skill for all Remotion markup, preview and render (it routes to remotion-create, remotion-markup, remotion-captions, remotion-render). The official skills win on Remotion APIs.

Key Differences from /create-video

  • Aspect ratio: 9:16 (1080x1920) — ALWAYS vertical
  • Duration: 15–60 seconds max (sweet spot: 30s)
  • Hook first: First 2-3 seconds must grab attention
  • Captions required: Always add TikTok-style word-by-word captions
  • Background music: Always include — with mood tags
  • Pacing: Fast cuts, 2-5 seconds per scene, no slow moments

Pipeline

Phase 0: Project and Preview

  1. Use the existing Remotion project, or scaffold one exactly as official remotion-create says (npx create-video@latest --yes --blank --no-tailwind, after inspecting the folder).
  2. As soon as it runs, start Studio and keep it open: npx remotion studio (or npx remotion studio --no-open with an in-app browser). Open the exact URL it prints, then /<composition-id> once the composition exists.

Phase 1: Concept (Keep It Simple)

Ask the user what the short is about, then structure it:

📱 Short Video Plan

Platform: [TikTok / Reels / Shorts]
Duration: [15-60 seconds]
Format: 1080x1920 (9:16 vertical)
FPS: 30

Structure:
  🪝 Hook (0-3s): [attention grabber — question, bold claim, visual shock]
  📖 Body (3-Xs): [main content — 2-4 fast scenes]
  📣 CTA (last 3-5s): [call to action — follow, link, comment]

Voiceover: [yes/no] — [style: energetic, conversational, dramatic]
Music Mood: [upbeat, chill, dramatic, inspiring, dark, funny]
Caption Style: [TikTok bold / karaoke / minimal]

Get the user's approval on this plan before generating assets.
