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

narrate-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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/check_env.py, scripts/narration_script_template.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 — 219 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Video Narration

Add professional voiceover to a video. Analyze the video, write or refine a timed script, generate speech via Azure TTS or Gemini 3.1 Flash TTS, and merge — producing a narrated video where audio and visuals stay in sync.

Input: $ARGUMENTS

Additional resources


Phase 0: Setup

Provider

Default to azure unless the user explicitly asks for Gemini or already has GEMINI_API_KEY configured. When using Gemini, use the official Gemini TTS request pattern documented in references/gemini-tts.md.

Language

Ask the user which language they want. Default to English. Look up the voice and speech rate in references/voices.md.

Environment

# 1. Check provider credentials exist (NEVER read or display their values)
scripts/check_env.py azure
# or
scripts/check_env.py gemini

# 2. Check tool dependencies
command -v ffmpeg && command -v ffprobe && command -v python3

# 3. Check Python dependencies
python3 -c "import dotenv" 2>&1

# 4. Azure only
python3 -c "import azure.cognitiveservices.speech" 2>&1

If Azure is selected and AZURE_SPEECH_KEY or AZURE_SPEECH_REGION is missing, ask the user to add them to ~/.narrate_video.env:

AZURE_SPEECH_KEY=your-key-here
AZURE_SPEECH_REGION=your-region-here

If Gemini is selected and GEMINI_API_KEY is missing, ask the user to add it to ~/.narrate_video.env:

GEMINI_API_KEY=your-key-here
# Optional override
GEMINI_TTS_MODEL=gemini-3.1-flash-tts-preview

Then stop — the key is sensitive, only check whether it exists, never read or display its value.

What ships with it

4 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.
