vox-explainer

vox-explainer is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from heygen-com/hyperframes-community-skills. It costs 100 tokens per session (3,312 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for making a 60–90 second collage-style video explaining a familiar topic whose history or cause is often overlooked. It can use supplied documents and links as source material.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create a short explainer about an everyday subject, using source-based research, timed visual clips, and a Vox-inspired visual style without presenting it as an official Vox production.
Why use it?
It provides a defined process for turning research into a short visual explanation with a clear historical or causal payoff.

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

vox-explainer 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/seam-gate.mjs, scripts/seam-stamp.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 — 233 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Plain-Sight Explainer (Gateway Workflow)

Build against the HyperFrames composition contract (clips, data-* timing, and the #root schema). Install the upstream HyperFrames skills with npx skills add heygen-com/hyperframes, or scaffold with npx hyperframes init, and read the generated project documentation first.

Make a 60–90s explainer about something the viewer sees daily but has never looked at. The film manufactures recognition first, then pays it off with a causal history. Grammar measured from Vox's Cooper Black film; motion from the same frame-by-frame calibration process.

This is a Vox-inspired design vocabulary, not an affiliation or endorsement. Do not use Vox logos or imply that Vox produced the result.

Trust boundary and requirements

  • Require Node.js 22 or newer for the bundled seam scripts. When they start a preview server, npx may download the exact HyperFrames version pinned in scripts/seam-gate.mjs from the npm registry.
  • Read only the files and URLs the user supplies. Source mode may fetch public citations and public-domain or openly licensed assets from declared sources. Never send private documents, credentials, or private URLs to another service.
  • Ask before using any TTS or transcription API. State the provider, data sent, required credential, and possible cost before the call.
  • Write project source, downloaded assets, audio, contact sheets, and renders only inside the user's chosen project directory. Do not publish or upload the result automatically.
  • The seam verifier starts a local preview server and an isolated Chrome profile. Its --url and --comp-url inputs accept localhost only. A preview may still load remote assets declared by the user's composition.

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.
