SkillSpector: 7 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00130 | $0.03134 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00065 | $0.01567 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00026 | $0.00627 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00013 | $0.00313 |
Grade A, and why
video-editing 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 11d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 231 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Video Editing Pipeline
Parallel pipeline to the generation side of the harness. The generation pipeline synthesizes shots; this pipeline cuts already-existing media. They share ffmpeg and the burn-in-subtitles skill but are otherwise independent.
When to Reach For This Skill
Use the editing pipeline when the task involves existing media on disk:
- Re-cutting a Venice-generated episode because the pacing reads too long
- Trimming umms/uhs/false-starts out of a talking-head VO take
- Editing user-supplied raw footage (interview b-roll, phone takes, screen recordings) into a final cut
- Rescuing a TTS render that truncated mid-script (doubled-ellipsis bug, rule 26)
- Stitching pre-generated shots in a different order than the original storyboard
Do not reach for this skill when the task is "generate a new shot", "create a storyboard panel", or "render a video from a prompt". Those go through generate-episode-videos, storyboard-episode, or produce-episode.
Core Philosophy: Text + On-Demand Visuals
The LLM reads a 12KB takes_packed.md file — NOT the video itself. Pixels are only consulted at explicit decision points via scripts/timeline-view.ts.
Naive approach: 30 min of footage at 24fps = 43,200 frames × ~1,500 tokens each = 64M tokens of noise. This pipeline: 12KB of text + a handful of composite PNGs.
Same principle as giving an LLM a DOM rather than a screenshot. The transcript is the ground truth; visual sampling is only for ambiguous cuts, retake comparisons, and post-render QA.
The Five Steps
1. Transcribe -> per-source words.json + takes_packed.md
2. Read pack -> LLM forms a cut strategy
3. Confirm -> propose strategy, WAIT for user OK
4. Render EDL -> ffmpeg concat + 30ms audio fades
5. Self-eval -> cut-qa agent runs timeline_view at every cut boundary
-> pass: deliver final-edit.mp4
-> fail: propose fixes, re-render, loop (max 3 iterations)
Step 1 — Transcribe

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.

video-editing is a skill published in the GitHub repository jordanurbs/venice-video-harness (30 stars, last pushed 4d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 130 tokens to every session and 3,134 once invoked, about $0.0006 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
