studio-watch

studio-watch is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ikenga-hq/ikenga-pkgs. It costs 35 tokens per session (286 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A background build loop for video projects that queues renders, follows the active storyboard cell on screen, and checks until renders finish. A render is the process of producing the final visual output from a project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it with an existing storyboard to render cells in the background, show live progress on the canvas, and update cells as their high-quality stills are ready.
Why use it?
It keeps the agent available while slow renders run instead of making it wait for each one to finish.

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-watch 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 2mo 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-watch

Agent-driven, non-blocking build mode. You drive; the canvas follows.

What it does

  1. Reads the project's storyboard.json and the set of cells needing renders.
  2. Enqueues renders through the MCP render.* namespace and returns immediately (does not block on render completion).
  3. Signals the iframe canvas to auto-pan to the cell currently being worked, so the human watching sees progress live.
  4. Polls render.list on an interval; as each RenderRecord flips to done, the canvas updates the cell's hi-fi still.

Why non-blocking

Renders (especially AI adapters in P3) can take minutes. studio-watch keeps the agent responsive: it can answer questions, accept edits, or queue more work while renders run in the background supervisor.

Usage

/studio-watch <project-slug>
# canvas auto-pans; agent stays free; poll render.list until all cells are `done`

Pairs with studio-init (which seeds the project) and the chokidar file-watcher (which fires cells/changed within ~60ms of a save).

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.
