listicle-short

listicle-short is a skill for Claude Code from maddexritter-rgb/vibe-editing. It costs 82 tokens per session (6,078 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A video-editing workflow that turns a long video or YouTube link into a roughly 60-second numbered vertical short. It selects the speaker's exact words, reframes the video for phone screens, and adds styled captions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make rapid-fire list videos with numbered tactics, word-level captions, optional music, and audio leveled for delivery.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of finding short moments, arranging them into a list, tracking the speaker's face, and preparing captions.

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

listicle-short 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 3 executable files (scripts/build_short.py, scripts/cta_overlay.py, scripts/ingest.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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 — 246 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

listicle-short — long-form → 60s numbered listicle V1, in one shot

What it makes: the speaker's best verbatim one-liners, cut from a long-form, assembled into a ~60s rapid-fire list, reframed 9:16, captioned in the SPICE style with a persistent glass category pill (1. OFFER, 2. MARKETING, …) above each tactic, audio leveled to −6 dB. This is the Creator-13-years format, templatized.

Defaults (override per clip)

  • Flow = script + V1 together. Produce the numbered script (for sign-off) AND render a V1 in one pass. --stop-after-script for script-only.
  • Framing = auto 9:16 (face-tracked). --stop-after-assemble outputs the horizontal cut for the user's own reframe/bg (hero clips); they re-run with --no-reframe to caption it after.
  • Music = off. --music <track> to add (calm/cinematic from the Speaker TikTok set, never hardcore — see caption-clips SOP).
  • Length ≈ 60s, ~10–14 tactics. Content-driven, not capped.

The run (agent steps)

1. Ingest

python3 ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/listicle-short/scripts/ingest.py "<youtube-url-or-file>" --out ~/Downloads/<slug>/

source.mp4 (1080p), transcript_ts.txt (read this), transcript_words.json (precise word timestamps), meta.json. YouTube uses free json3 captions; local files fall back to Groq lv3.

2. Mine + write the script (THIS is the editorial judgment — do it well)

Read transcript_ts.txt. For coverage on long transcripts, fan out parallel readers (Agent tool) over thirds, then curate. Pick the punchiest, self-contained, verbatim one-liners — prefer the speaker's OWN section/headline lines if the source is already enumerated ("number one… number two…"). Rules baked from the 13-years build:

  • Each line must be a clean section/idea opener that stands alone (no dangling "this/that", no mid-story fragment). The #1 failure is pulling a fragment from the middle of a section — it reads random. Verify lead-in.
  • Lead with a credibility/curiosity hook, end on a mic-drop.
  • Keep each ~2–6 s; aim ~10–14 lines for ~60s. Renumber 1..N (your own count).
  • VERIFY every quote against the source (exact wording + precise in/out from transcript_words.json). The sub-agent mining timestamps drift — always confirm against the word stream.

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.
