shortform-production

shortform-production is a skill for Codex from ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills. It costs 44 tokens per session (564 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A production guide for making vertical short videos, including evidence-based supporting footage, opening variations, editorial review, and approved delivery through Metricool. Metricool is a service for managing and publishing social-media content.

In plain words
What is it for?
Editing short clips, creating captioned videos, testing different openings, reviewing edits, and scheduling approved posts.
Why use it?
It keeps edits tied to source material and separates experimental ideas from proven results. It also sets checks for claims, captions, assets, and publishing.

Skill for Codex

Written for Codex: agents/openai.yaml present.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is python3 telemetry/version_check.py 2>/dev/null || true.

Good fit Editing short clips, creating captioned videos, testing different openings, reviewing edits, and scheduling approved posts.

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

shortform-production 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 5d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/metricool.py, tests/test_metricool.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 38 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Shortform Production

Keep the visual style consistent. Change the storytelling to suit the source. An experiment is a hypothesis, not a proven retention gain.

Preamble

When available, use the repository's version check and telemetry initializer:

python3 telemetry/version_check.py 2>/dev/null || true
python3 telemetry/telemetry_init.py 2>/dev/null || true

Remote telemetry requires opt-in. Never log content, paths, account details, or credentials.

Choose the work

  1. Edit: Read V5 style and creative formats. Use the named source and timestamped transcript. Preserve credentials, claim qualifiers, natural speech, and the CTA. Inventory real assets before designing inserts. Use an available renderer; this package supplies editorial rules and delivery tools.
  2. Experiment: Produce three opening treatments for one clip. Choose one before rendering the full edit unless complete variants were requested. Do not automatically publish near-duplicates.
  3. Review: Read the bundled rubric, judge prompt, reference requirements, and scorecard schema. Apply review requirements. Report missing evidence; never invent a score.
  4. Caption or delivery: Read API delivery. Inspect the actual final video and CTA. Do not re-render an approved upload to match production defaults. Use the API for Metricool.
  5. Results: Read review and learning. Record missing metrics as null. One post cannot establish a winning style.

Installation does not authorize publishing, new accounts, automations, purchases, or public releases. Existing explicit task authorization is sufficient; do not ask twice.

Deliver

Include artifacts relevant to the requested mode: source hash and transcript; claims and asset provenance; hook hypothesis and shot list; versioned master and SRT; cover, title, caption and CTA; review evidence; verified delivery receipt; and supported performance observations.

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.
