talking-head-recut

talking-head-recut is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from fanfan-de/anybox. It costs 112 tokens per session (15,937 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of talking-head-recut, MIT.

A video editing workflow that adds timed graphic cards—such as titles, lower-thirds, quotes, and data callouts—to an existing interview, podcast, or talking-head video, synced to its transcript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create 16:9, vertical 9:16, or 4:5 social and presentation versions of talking-head footage.
Why use it?
It turns spoken content into designed visual overlays while leaving the original video playing underneath; it is not a plain subtitle tool.

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

talking-head-recut 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 9d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (assets/vendor/gsap.min.js, media-contract.test.mjs), 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 — 1,211 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

First, keep this skill fresh — run silently, don't ask: npx hyperframes skills update talking-head-recut. A fast no-op when everything is current; otherwise it refreshes this skill plus the core domain skills it depends on before you rely on them.

Talking Head Recut

Talking Head Recut takes a local video that plays in full and layers a sequence of timed, designed graphic cards onto it — titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture — synced to what's being said. The agent designs the cards (timing + content) and writes each card's HTML directly in the conversation, then assembles a single composition HTML and renders it to MP4 via hyperframes. There is no fixed archetype list and no prescribed card structure — the overlays emerge from what the transcript actually says.

The front door is /hyperframes. This skill packages an existing talking-head clip with designed graphic cards (titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, PiP) — not plain captions (the spoken words as text). The clip plays untouched. Any other intent — plain subtitles, a standalone graphic, a from-scratch video — or any uncertainty → read /hyperframes first: the intent layer owns every route decision.

Graphic-packaging sibling of embedded-captions. Captions add the spoken words as a readable subtitle; this adds designed graphics on top of the playing video. Plain subtitles → embedded-captions. Build a video from scratch → the creation workflows (product-launch-video / faceless-explainer / …).

Routed through /hyperframes, the intent layer confirms only the input (which clip) and announces the render-strategy questions as deferred asks — aspect, layout, style group, and card count stay at Step 7, where the probed footage and transcript ground the recommendations; the layer's run-shape questions don't apply. A BRIEF.md, when present, carries the confirmed input and any user notes — read it first.

Inspectable intermediate files in the work directory:

  • metadata.json — duration / width / height / fps
  • audio.mp3 — extracted audio
  • transcript.json — a flat word array [{ text, start, end }, …] (Whisper; no segments, no words wrapper)
  • storyboard.json — lightweight card outline (the agent's plan)
  • public/cards/card-XX.html — one HTML fragment per card
  • public/index.html — final assembled composition
  • output.mp4 — rendered video

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.
