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

imessage-video-ad 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 7 executable files (scripts/endcard-to-mp4.sh, scripts/gen_flat_lay_bg.py, scripts/generate.js, …), 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 — 239 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

imessage-video-ad

Use this skill when an ad concept calls for an authentic iMessage thread reveal: someone screenshots a product/result, sends it to a friend, the friend reacts and asks what app/service it is, and the conversation surfaces the brand + a CTA code.

Everything this skill needs is bundled in this folder — the iMessage HTML renderer (scripts/generate.js + scripts/templates/), both end-card templates, the Apple SFX (assets/sfx/), and the example thread/timeline. No external skill dependencies.

Setup (once)

npm install                       # Playwright
npx playwright install chromium   # browser binary
pip install -r requirements.txt   # FAL client (flat-lay background step only)
cp .env.example .env              # add FAL_KEY if generating the flat-lay bg

ffmpeg and ffprobe must be on your PATH. All scripts run in place and take a --project <dir> so one copy of the skill drives many ads.

Output format — FRAMED (Variant B) is the standard

Renders the framed look by default: a visible iPhone bezel + Dynamic Island + status bar, sitting on a flat-lay desk background (1080×1920). The old full-bleed (edge-to-edge chat) look is DEPRECATED — reachable only via --full-bleed for backward reproduction.

Framed requires a background at <project>/assets/flat-lay-bg.jpg — generate it with scripts/gen_flat_lay_bg.py (State 3.5) or supply your own. Dark threads (theme: "dark") render dark natively in frame mode, so no manual theme injection is needed.

When to use

  • Reaction/discovery ads where the punchline is the recipient's curiosity ("what app is that?", "wait this is real?")
  • Promo-code reveals (FREEPACK / FIRSTPACK / WELCOME10) — the conversational delivery feels far less ad-like than a hard CTA card alone
  • Any time the brief mentions "fake DM", "screenshot of a chat", "iMessage style", "Tyler/peer"

This skill is for a multi-bubble timeline animated to video. If the chat is just one static beat (a single screenshot), you don't need video — render the HTML once and screenshot it.
