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-init 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 7d 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-init

Bootstraps a new Studio project end to end.

What it does

  1. Asks the user which archetype to use (explainer / product / ai-short / narrative / montage / tutorial / music-video) and a project title/slug.
  2. Creates the project folder layout: <project>/{storyboard.json, cells/, anchors/, renders/, exports/} (and script.fountain for the narrative archetype, script.json otherwise).
  3. Calls the MCP archetype.instantiate_into_project --archetype <id> so the chosen archetype's chain[] is expanded into cells in storyboard.json.
  4. Writes aspect_ratio (defaults: 9:16 for ai-short, 16:9 otherwise) and mode: 'studio'.

Preconditions

Run studio-doctor first if you have never set up the toolchain. The music-video archetype additionally needs studio-beat-detect run against the track before the timeline can snap to beats.

Usage

/studio-init
# → "Which archetype?"  → "What's the title?"  → folder + storyboard.json created

The archetype list is read live from the catalog (archetype.list), so any installed archetype skill is selectable.

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.
