make-video

make-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from instavar/remotion-templates. It costs 25 tokens per session (529 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating local videos from Instavar Remotion templates and a VideoSpec, which is a structured description of the video.

In plain words
What is it for?
Making videos with narration, music, or no audio for a specified audience, platform, format, duration, media, and call to action.
Why use it?
It guides the agent through choosing templates, writing scene content, handling audio, and checking the result before rendering.

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

make-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 5d 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

Make a video

  1. If the instavar-remotion MCP server is connected, call get_capabilities, list_templates, and get_template. Otherwise use the template list in the README.
  2. Ask for any missing brief details that materially affect the result: audience, goal, platform, aspect ratio, duration, source media, call to action, and audio intent. Audio intent must be narration, music, or explicitly silent.
  3. Create or scaffold a *.video.json VideoSpec. Use only published template and scene identifiers. Write the creative copy from the user's brief. Do not treat placeholder copy as finished content. Never show scene.kind as audience copy. Avoid all-caps headings and decorative labels above headings.
  4. If narration is approved, preserve the exact script in audio.narrationText. For private Supertonic narration, write one paragraph per scene at https://instavar.com/voice, download the WAV and timing manifest, then run npm run video:timing -- <spec> --audio <wav> --manifest <timing.json>. The beat count must equal the scene count. Otherwise add an existing local audio.narrationSrc, or run npm run video:narrate -- <spec> for no-key system TTS. Never leave approved narration only in the conversation.
  5. Run npm run video:validate -- <spec> and fix every blocking error. Treat hierarchy, scene differentiation, text density, and audio diagnostics as product requirements.
  6. Run npm run video:preview -- <spec>. It renders a midpoint frame for every scene. Inspect every output in out/previews/<id>/, not only the opening, middle, and ending. Correct clipping, weak hierarchy, unreadable copy, repeated layouts, poor visual balance, or timing problems. Use --studio only when an interactive review is useful.
  7. Run npm run video:render -- <spec> only after validation and every-scene preview are satisfactory. The render command performs post-render audio QA and fails if expected audio is absent or effectively silent.
  8. Report the exact spec, preview directory, MP4 path, audio mode, and unresolved warnings. Do not claim a render succeeded unless the output exists and the expected-audio QA passes.

Keep all creative assets local unless the user explicitly approves an upload. Ask before using paid services or publishing to an external platform.

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.
