freeform-video

freeform-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ikenga-hq/ikenga-pkgs. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,239 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A staged workflow for making bespoke short videos: first a text beat sheet, then rough and refined scene images, and finally the video. It pauses between stages so a person can review the storyboard.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for design-led clips such as marketing announcements, founder updates, or short product messages that need human approval at each stage.
Why use it?
It breaks a complex video project into reviewable steps and can continue from the saved storyboard.

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

freeform-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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 150 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.


name: freeform-video description: Bespoke freeform video pipeline — multi-rung storyboard authoring (beat sheet → lo-fi TSX + stills → hi-fi TSX + stills → final video). Invoked by /video-bespoke. Resume-aware via storyboard.json — works one rung at a time and pauses for human review in the storyboard app.

Freeform Video Pipeline

Bespoke video authoring for the Royalti video engine. Replaces the deprecated YAML-driven /video-pipeline for short, design-led clips (Ask Roy, marketing announcements, founder updates).

Trigger

Invoked by /video-bespoke {slug} or /video-bespoke continue {slug}. Never run unprompted.

Three-Rung Workflow

The storyboard system has three progressive fidelity rungs, mirrored in compositions/{slug}/storyboard.json under current_rung:

Rung Key Output Review gate
0 0_beat_sheet Text only — id, label, time, narration_excerpt, intent Human approves each beat in storyboard app
1 1_lofi Wireframe still PNG via BrandProvider lofi={true} Human reviews layout/copy fidelity
2 2_hifi Production still PNG with full palette + glows Human approves final look

When every beat at the current rung has status: "approved", the pipeline advances to the next rung. The skill never auto-advances past pending-review — the human in the storyboard app drives every transition.

Resume Contract

Always start by reading compositions/{slug}/storyboard.json. Then:

  1. Find the current rung (storyboard.current_rung).
  2. Find the next beat at that rung whose status is pending or needs-rework.
  3. Work on ONE beat at a time. Never batch-update an entire rung in one call.
  4. After producing the output, set status to pending-review and stop.

If every beat at the current rung is approved, advance current_rung by 1 and start the next rung's first pending beat.

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.
