Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00093 | $0.11597 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.05798 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00019 | $0.02319 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.01160 |
Grade A, and why
cli-hub-matrix-video-creation 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 yesterday.
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 — 537 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Video Creation Matrix (v3 — capability-based)
This matrix describes capabilities the agent can compose on demand — not a fixed pipeline. A "video creation" workflow picks a recipe (which capabilities it needs) and, per capability, picks a provider from the task requirements and preflight facts below.
Schema: docs/cli-matrix/matrix_registry.schema.md.
Install (installable portion)
cli-hub matrix install video-creation # installs registered matrix CLIs only
cli-hub matrix info video-creation # inspect providers & recipes
cli-hub matrix preflight video-creation # check available providers in this environment
Not everything in this matrix is installed by cli-hub matrix install. Cloud APIs, Python packages, native binaries, third-party public CLIs, and external skills are first-class providers too, but install them only after the task actually needs that provider.
Do not hand-write pip install ...#subdirectory=... for CLI-Anything matrix members; install the supported harnesses through cli-hub matrix install video-creation, then use preflight to see what else is already available.
Provider selection constraints (agent: evaluate per capability)
- Use preflight as an availability report, not as a provider selector.
- Choose providers from the user's goal, quality bar, budget, offline needs, credential state, install cost, and requested workflow.
- Treat registry/provider order as documentation order only; do not assume the first provider is the correct one.
- Install Python libs, native binaries, harness CLIs, public CLIs, or agent skills only when they fit the task constraints.
- Escalate to paid or metered APIs only when the user has supplied credentials or explicitly consents. Never silently call a paid API.
- If a task falls into a genre with a mandatory provider rule, the provider is not optional. Do not substitute a cheaper/easier fallback just because it is locally convenient.
What ships with it
8 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.
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.

cli-hub-matrix-video-creation is a skill published in the GitHub repository HKUDS/CLI-Anything (48,669 stars, last pushed 11d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 93 tokens to every session and 11,597 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

Author or edit a custom HyperFrames composition when no specialized workflow fits, or when BRIEF.md sets flow: companion. Use for longer or multi-scene pieces, brand and sizzle reels, montages, static loops, static title cards, footage remixes, and freeform builds. Use motion-graphics instead for a short unnarrated…

vox-director
Turn ONE topic into a finished Vox-style paper-collage explainer / ad video, end to end on the Atlas Cloud API + local ffmpeg — script, collage keyframes, motion, voice-over, music, captions, all automated. Use this whenever the user wants a "Vox style" video, a paper/torn-paper collage animation, a "motion collage"…
