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

make-short 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.

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.

make-short — fully-TSX vertical shorts, end to end

Everything is code: no footage, no stock. One short = one Remotion composition fed by a beats contract, with voice and SFX layered on after render. Proven across the 12 example shorts in shorts/. The idea bank + niche ranking lives in IDEAS.md — read it when picking a topic, and grow it when brainstorming.

Run everything from the repo root. Tools are stdlib-only Python 3.10+; ffmpeg/node must be on PATH; API keys live in .env (see .env.example).

Artifact contract

shorts/short-N-<niche>/
  script.md        — hook, beat sheet table (time | on screen | VO), production notes
  beats.json       — machine contract: format, vo[] (text+start/end+words), beats[], niche timeline
  voice/           — per-line TTS clips + voice.wav        (gen_voice.py)   [gitignored]

  ShortN<Name>.tsx — THE composition (registered by npm run gen)
  vo.gen.ts        — AUTO-GENERATED VO with exact word times (never hand-edit)

Shared kit: remotion/src/lib/shorts.tsx (Captions, Kicker, BigTitle, Stamp, PauseCard, StatChip, ProgressBar, ShortsBackdrop, SAFE areas, prog helper). Niche libs so far: lib/chess.tsx, lib/math.tsx, lib/algo.tsx, lib/sheet.tsx, lib/piano.tsx, lib/prob.tsx, lib/map.tsx, lib/orbit.tsx, lib/chart.tsx, lib/story.tsxAdd at most ONE new niche lib per short, generic enough for a series.

Stage 1 — script + beats

Beat grammar (~38–42s): HOOK (0–3.4s, frame 0 FULLY composed — the payoff already visible, no fade from black) → SETUP → optional QUIZ (PauseCard, ~2.5s — drives comments) → REVEAL in 2–4 steps, each synced to a VO word → TWISTLOOP (last frame == frame 0, dissolving the payoff back into the intro so it replays seamlessly).

Outros — no fluff. NEVER end on an old-school engagement-CTA — no "what should I do next?", no "comment below", no "which one should I break down". They read as dated. End on the PAYOFF line, and let the visual LOOP blend back into the intro — the loop-into-intro is the ending. Prefer a clean visual dissolve/reset that lands the last frame exactly on frame 0. If a seamless loop genuinely isn't possible for a topic, just end on the payoff with no filler. Don't pad the tail: trim the composition so it ends shortly after the payoff, not seconds of dead air.

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.
