Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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 | $0.00061 | $0.00959 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00030 | $0.00479 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00012 | $0.00192 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00006 | $0.00096 |
Grade C, and why
motiscope-doctor scanned grade C with 2 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.
Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation
A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.
- **Linux:** `sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg` (or `sudo dnf install ffmpeg`) Reads agent configuration directoriesmediumAgent snooping
.claude/, .codex/, .gemini/ hold keys, settings and other credentials a mod has no legitimate need for.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 77 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
motiscope: doctor
Check and configure motiscope — verify ffmpeg/ffprobe are installed and scaffold the API-key config used for optional (stubbed) asset generation. Use for first-time setup, "motiscope isn't working", dependency errors, or
motiscope-doctor.
Running motiscope
motiscope is a shell command. If it isn't found it isn't on your PATH — see
https://github.com/KumarSashank/motiscope#install. The reference guides live under
$(motiscope home)/references/.
Invoking the sibling skills. In Codex, mention a skill with $motiscope-recreate. In
Cursor, use /motiscope-recreate. Elsewhere, just follow that skill's SKILL.md.
Seeing the frames — do not skip this. The curated keyframes are PNG files on disk, and
you must actually look at them. Codex: use the view_image tool (if it's unavailable,
enable tools.view_image = true in ~/.codex/config.toml, or have the user relaunch with
codex -i frame1.png,frame2.png). Cursor: the file-reading tool accepts .png and puts
the image in context. If you genuinely cannot open images, say so — you can still
report the measured timing, but you cannot know what is animating, and you must not
guess it from the filenames.
Verify dependencies and scaffold config. motiscope's pipeline is pure Python standard library, so the only hard dependencies are ffmpeg and ffprobe.
Run status
motiscope doctor --json
The JSON reports status, missing_binaries, install_hint, platform, config_file, env_file, and per-provider key presence.
If ffmpeg/ffprobe are missing
Do not install silently. Ask the user for permission, then run the platform command:
- macOS (Homebrew):
brew install ffmpeg - Linux:
sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg(orsudo dnf install ffmpeg) - Windows:
winget install Gyan.FFmpeg(orchoco install ffmpeg)
Re-run mvsetup.py --check afterward to confirm (exit 0 = ready).
Scaffold config
motiscope doctor
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.

motiscope-doctor is a skill published in the GitHub repository KumarSashank/motiscope (113 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 61 tokens to every session and 959 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it C with 2 findings (asks for root, reads agent configuration directories). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.

talking-head-recut
Package an existing talking-head / interview / podcast video with timed, designed GRAPHIC OVERLAY cards — kinetic titles, lower-thirds, data callouts, quotes, side panels, picture-in-picture — synced to the transcript, on a 16:9 / 9:16 / 4:5 canvas of your choice; the clip plays untouched underneath. Trigger on…
embedded-captions
A workflow for adding captions or subtitles to an existing single-person talking-head video without changing the footage. Captions can appear as ordinary subtitles, behind the speaker, or as stylized visual effects.
pr-to-video
Turn a GitHub pull request (a PR URL, owner/repo#N, or 'this PR' in a checked-out repo) into a code-change explainer video — changelog, feature reveal, fix, or refactor walkthrough built from the diff, commits, and files: the input is a code change, not a website. Not a product promo (/product-launch-video) or a no-PR…
slideshow
Author a HyperFrames slideshow — a presentation, pitch deck, or interactive deck with discrete slides, fragment reveals, branching, hotspot navigation, and built-in presenter mode with speaker notes; also converts an existing page into a deck. Output is a navigable deck, not a rendered MP4. If the user didn't…
faceless-explainer
Turn arbitrary text — an article, notes, a topic, a brief — into a faceless explainer video: there is no site or footage to capture, so the visuals are invented per scene (typography, abstract graphics, diagrams, data-viz). Use for topic explainers, concept breakdowns, how-tos, listicles. Not a video built from a…
hyperframes-audio
Use when audio already placed in a HyperFrames composition needs to be mixed: fade-in/fade-out, crossfade, track gain or volume, volume automation, ducking, a music bed that fights a voiceover (voiceover carve), effects on a track (EQ, compressor, limiter, gate, saturation, delay, reverb, chorus, phaser, bitcrush)…
