ck:media-processing

A guide to processing video, audio, and images with command-line tools. It covers conversion, resizing, effects, thumbnails, background removal, and streaming formats.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to convert or encode video and audio, extract sound, resize or edit images, remove image backgrounds, create thumbnails or GIFs, and prepare HLS or DASH streams.
Why use it?
It provides one workflow for common media tasks instead of requiring separate manual tools for each file or format.

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.

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 B, and why

ck:media-processing scanned grade B with 1 finding 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 2d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 9 executable files (scripts/batch_resize.py, scripts/batch-remove-background.sh, scripts/media_convert.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.

Media Processing Skill

Process video, audio, and images using FFmpeg, ImageMagick, and RMBG CLI tools.

Tool Selection

Task Tool Reason
Video encoding/conversion FFmpeg Native codec support, streaming
Audio extraction/conversion FFmpeg Direct stream manipulation
Image resize/effects ImageMagick Optimized for still images
Background removal RMBG AI-powered, local processing
Batch images ImageMagick mogrify for in-place edits
Video thumbnails FFmpeg Frame extraction built-in
GIF creation FFmpeg/ImageMagick FFmpeg for video, ImageMagick for images

Installation

# macOS
brew install ffmpeg imagemagick
npm install -g rmbg-cli

# Ubuntu/Debian
sudo apt-get install ffmpeg imagemagick
npm install -g rmbg-cli

# Verify
ffmpeg -version && magick -version && rmbg --version

Essential Commands

# Video: Convert/re-encode

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.

ck:media-processing is a skill published in the GitHub repository manhvann/codexkit (88 stars, last pushed 3d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 47 tokens to every session and 792 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it B with 1 finding (asks for root). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
