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-core-blocks 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 19 executable files (blocks/3d/anchor-plate/render.py, blocks/3d/audio-visualizer/render.py, blocks/3d/kinetic-type/render.py, …), 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.

What it actually says

studio-core-blocks

The home for archetype-agnostic blocks. Anything that isn't specific to one archetype's narrative shape lives here.

What it ships

Under blocks/:

Dir Kind Blocks
transition/ transition (5) cut, fade, smash-cut, J-cut, L-cut
sfx/ sfx (3) icon-pop, data-reveal, outro-resolve
music/ music_preset (2) upbeat-tech, calm-narrative
cta/ cta (3) link, subscribe, talk-to-us
anchor/ anchor_pack (3) brand-pack, host-pack, location-pack
sketch/ sketch (3) flowchart, timeline, wireframe

That's 19 of the 36 library blocks. The remaining 17 are owned by archetype skills (hooks + narration in archetype-explainer, beats in archetype-product).

Templates

  • All non-sketch core blocks ship index.html (HyperFrames entry; G-39) with a data-duration scene and {{param}} placeholders.
  • Sketch blocks ship a minimal valid .excalidraw scene (a few rectangles + text). BlockSchema.default_renderer now accepts excalidraw directly (WP-32/G-68); the shipped sketch blocks keep the older default_renderer: 'auto' + metadata.renderer_hint: 'excalidraw' form, which stays valid against pre-G-68 schemas.

Discovery

The MCP catalog loader walks skills/*/blocks/**/block.json, so these blocks appear in block.list regardless of which archetypes are installed. Uninstalling an archetype never removes core blocks.

Block placement map (whole library)

  • studio-core-blocks/blocks/ → transitions, sfx, music, cta, anchor, sketch (19)
  • archetype-explainer/blocks/ → hooks (5) + narration patterns (4) (9)
  • archetype-product/blocks/ → beats (8)

Total = 36.

Files

What ships with it

60 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.

Changes

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.
