A tool for creating and managing short Sora video clips from text prompts or existing video IDs. Sora is OpenAI’s video-generation service.

Use it for product demos, marketing clips, cinematic shots, UI mockups, video variations, and downloading videos, thumbnails, or sprite sheets.

It organizes video creation, remixing, status checks, downloads, and batch jobs into a repeatable command-line workflow.

sora — Skill for Codex by dp-archive/archive

About the project

Skill Compose is an open-source platform for building and running AI agents that use modular skills. It is intended for creating skill-powered agents without workflow graphs or a command-line interface, and the catalogue skills are examples of those agent capabilities.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00084	$0.01962
Opus 5.5	$0.00034	$0.00785
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00017	$0.00392
Haiku 4.5	$0.00008	$0.00196

Security

Grade A, and why

sora 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/sora.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Sora Video Generation Skill

Creates or manages short video clips for the current project (product demos, marketing spots, cinematic shots, UI mocks). Defaults to sora-2 and a structured prompt augmentation workflow, and prefers the bundled CLI for deterministic runs. Note: $sora is a skill tag in prompts, not a shell command.

When to use

Generate a new video clip from a prompt
Remix an existing video by ID
Poll status, list jobs, or download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet)
Batch runs (many prompts or variants)

Decision tree (create vs remix vs status/download vs batch)

If the user has a video id and wants a change → remix
If the user has a video id and wants status or assets → status/poll/download
If the user needs many prompts/assets → create-batch
If the user asks for two versions with a small change (same shot, different subject/detail) → create the base, then remix for the variation
Otherwise → create (or create-and-poll if they need a ready asset in one step)

Workflow

Decide intent: create vs remix vs status/download vs batch.
Collect inputs: prompt, model, size, seconds, and any input reference image.
If batch: write a temporary JSONL under tmp/ (one job per line), run once, then delete the JSONL.
Prefer CLI augmentation flags (--use-case, --scene, --camera, etc.) instead of pre-writing a structured prompt. If you already produced a structured prompt file, pass --no-augment to avoid double-wrapping.
Run the bundled CLI (scripts/sora.py) with sensible defaults (see references/cli.md). For long prompts, prefer --prompt-file to avoid shell-escaping issues; pair with --no-augment if the prompt is already structured.
For async jobs, poll until complete (or use create-and-poll).
Download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet) and save locally.
Remove intermediate files created during invocation (for example prompt.txt, remix_job.json, temp JSONL). If the sandbox blocks rm, skip cleanup or truncate the files without surfacing an error.
Iterate with a single targeted change per prompt.

What ships with it

13 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
