studio-archetype-build

studio-archetype-build is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ikenga-hq/ikenga-pkgs. It costs 43 tokens per session (396 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A guided tool for designing a reusable video structure from existing building blocks. It asks about the video, arranges selected blocks in order, checks the result, and saves it as a custom archetype.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create reusable formats such as a 30-second product demo, with ordered scenes and values supplied to each scene.
Why use it?
It removes the need to hand-write the structure and settings for repeated video formats.

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

studio-archetype-build 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 9d 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.

What it actually says

studio-archetype-build

Author a custom archetype by chaining existing blocks.

What it does

  1. Interviews the user: what's the video for, how long, what beats matter.
  2. Lists available blocks (block.list) so you can pick atoms by kind (hook / beat / transition / cta / …).
  3. Builds an ordered chain[] of { block_id, bindings } entries, where bindings map each block's parameter names to values.
  4. Validates the draft against ArchetypeSchema (from @ikenga/studio-schema).
  5. Saves via MCP archetype.save_custom, which writes <project>/archetypes/<id>/archetype.json. Custom archetypes are then discoverable alongside the seven built-ins.

  "id": "product-demo-30s",

Usage

/studio-archetype-build
# → interview → pick blocks → save custom archetype → instantiate into a project

To author a brand-new block (not just chain existing ones), use studio-block-author.

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.
