wjs-teaching-english

wjs-teaching-english is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from jianshuo/claude-skills. It costs 153 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A video lesson maker that turns one English word into an HLS video playlist, a format used for streaming video. It combines a bilingual introduction, matching clips from a video collection, and a closing card.

In plain words
What is it for?
Choosing a target word, writing its pronunciation and Chinese explanation, generating voice audio, finding every matching clip, stitching the clips into an M3U8 playlist, and adding introduction and closing segments.
Why use it?
It creates a complete vocabulary lesson from existing clips without rendering one large MP4 file. HLS lets the result play as a streamed playlist.

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

wjs-teaching-english 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 13d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Teach an English word as a video supercut

Turn one English word into a self-contained HLS lesson:

intro.ts  (word /IPA/ · 中文 gloss · usage + Volcano TTS)
   ⋯ EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY
[supercut] every season2 clip where the word is spoken  (search-app /api/playlist, COS URLs)
   ⋯ EXT-X-DISCONTINUITY
cta.ts    (关注王建硕 + Volcano TTS)
= search-app/out/<word>.m3u8

No MP4 is burned — only the two cards are rendered as tiny .ts, re-encoded to match the supercut's codec so they play in any HLS player.

Prerequisites (check once)

  • ffmpeg / ffprobe on PATH (Homebrew).
  • Python volcengine SDK (declared in mira requirements.txt, used for TTS): python3 -c "import volcengine". If missing, ask the user to allow pip3 install volcengine==1.0.58 (it's a pinned repo dependency).
  • The deployed search-app at https://search-app-three-kappa.vercel.app (default). Override with SEARCH_APP_BASE=http://localhost:3000 if running locally (needs Node ≥ 23.6 + npm start).

Steps

  1. Get the word. A single English word (or short phrase). If the user gave a sentence, pick the target word.

  2. Write the mini-lesson JSON. YOU (Claude) author it — no dictionary API. Keep it accurate and concise. Save to a temp file, e.g. /tmp/lesson.json:

    {
      "word": "love",
      "ipa": "/lʌv/",
      "pos": "v. / n.",
      "gloss": "爱,热爱",
      "usage": "下面是它在真实电影里的说法",
      "tts_text": "love. 爱。"
    }
    
    • tts_text is read aloud over the intro card — keep it to the word + a short 中文 gloss (Volcano reads mixed English/中文 fine).
    • usage is one short line shown on the card (≤ ~20 chars renders best at low resolutions).
  3. Build it:

    cd /Users/jianshuo/code/mira/search-app
    python3 scripts/build_lesson.py --word love --lesson /tmp/lesson.json
    

    Useful flags: --speaker zh_female_qingxin (default), --limit 300 (max clips), --no-tts (silent cards), --base <url>, --out <dir>.

  4. Report the printed output path (search-app/out/<word>.m3u8) and the clip count. The .m3u8 plus its sibling <word>.intro.ts / <word>.cta.ts are the deliverable; out/ is git-ignored.

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.
