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

video-summarizer 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/summarize_videos.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 92 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Video Summarizer

Analyzes MP4 files in a directory via the Gemini API and writes a .md summary file next to each video.

Prerequisites

  • GEMINI_API_KEY env var must be set
  • google-genai installed: py -m pip install google-genai
  • Python available as py (Windows) or python3

Workflow

1. Determine the prompt

Check if the user provided a custom prompt or specific extraction instructions.

  • No custom prompt -> use the default (structured summary with Title, Summary, Key Points, Takeaways)
  • User provides custom instructions -> pass them via --prompt or --prompt-file

A custom prompt completely replaces the default. Examples of custom prompts:

  • "Extract all mentioned tools, their prices, and a one-line description for each"
  • "List every action item and deadline mentioned in this video"
  • "Create a transcript outline with timestamps"

2. Run the script

# Default summary — all videos in current directory (recursive)
py scripts/summarize_videos.py

# Default summary — specific directory
py scripts/summarize_videos.py "C:/path/to/videos"

# Custom prompt (inline) — replaces default summary format
py scripts/summarize_videos.py --prompt "Extract all product names and prices mentioned"

# Custom prompt (from file) — replaces default summary format
py scripts/summarize_videos.py --prompt-file my-prompt.txt

# Both directory and custom prompt
py scripts/summarize_videos.py "C:/path/to/videos" --prompt "List all key decisions made"

3. How Claude should handle user arguments

When the user invokes this skill:

  1. If the user specifies a custom prompt or extraction goal (e.g., "extract all tools mentioned", "summarize focusing on pricing", "list action items"), pass it via --prompt "...".
  2. If the user provides a prompt file path, pass it via --prompt-file path/to/file.txt.
  3. If the user gives no specific instructions, run without --prompt to use the default format.
  4. If the user specifies a directory, pass it as the first positional argument.

Changes

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.
