video_motion: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/general-video/SKILL.md

general-video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from maiscafe/video_motion. It costs 114 tokens per session (3,403 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of general-video, MIT.

A general workflow for making custom HyperFrames videos when no more specific workflow fits. It supports compositions of different lengths and formats, including title cards, montages, loops, and multi-scene pieces.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for custom videos, brand reels, title cards, static loops, montages, and other freeform compositions. It also helps decide when a specialized video workflow is more suitable.
Why use it?
It provides a structured starting point for unusual or open-ended video requests without assuming a particular subject, duration, or style.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents).

This is maiscafe/video_motion's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on video_motion itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything video_motion configures →

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

general-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 2mo 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 — 144 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

media-use: Before sourcing audio/images, call /media-use to resolve BGM/SFX/images from the HeyGen catalog. Run --adopt first to register existing assets. See /media-use skill.

general-video — general video workflow

Confirm the route before you build. This is the fallback for custom composition authoring. If the input clearly fits a specialized workflow, prefer it: marketed product → /product-launch-video; general site → /website-to-video; topic explainer → /faceless-explainer; GitHub PR → /pr-to-video; existing footage → /embedded-captions · /talking-head-recut; short unnarrated motion graphic → /motion-graphics; Remotion port → /remotion-to-hyperframes. Out of scope: live / at-render-time data, NLE-style editing of a finished video, or producing footage HyperFrames can't capture. Unsure? Read /hyperframes first.

Build exactly what was asked. A title card is a title card — not a title card + three supporting scenes + ambient music + captions. If extra scenes or elements would genuinely improve the piece, propose them; don't add them silently. For small edits (fix a color, adjust one duration, add one element), skip the planning steps and go straight to the build.

Approach

Discovery — open-ended requests only

For vague, exploratory requests ("make something for our brand", "a cool intro") — understand intent before picking colors:

  • Audience — who watches? developers / executives / general consumers?
  • Platform — where does it play? social (15s) / website hero / product demo / internal?
  • Priority — what matters most? motion quality / content accuracy / brand fidelity / speed?
  • Variations — one best shot, or 2-3 meaningfully different options (different pacing, energy, or structure — not just color swaps)?

For specific requests ("add a title card", "fix the timing on scene 3"), skip discovery.

Step 1 — Design system → hyperframes-creative

Establish the visual identity first. If the project has a design spec, read it (precedence frame.md → design.md → DESIGN.md; treat it as brand truth — exact colors, fonts, constraints).

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.
