A workflow for making a 60-second vertical video that recaps a current news event. It researches recent sources, writes an attributed script, and applies checks for freshness, accuracy, and harmful claims.

Use it to turn a current event or headline into a sourced 9:16 news short for mobile viewing.

It helps produce a short news update without relying on old or weakly supported information. The checks reduce the risk of publishing an inaccurate or defamatory claim.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00122	$0.00851
Opus 5.5	$0.00049	$0.00340
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00024	$0.00170
Haiku 4.5	$0.00012	$0.00085

Security

Grade A, and why

news-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 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 65 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

news-short (뉴스쇼츠)

Turn a current event into a tight, sourced, recency-gated 60-second news recap — with a stricter legal gate than info-short because news carries defamation, accuracy, and freshness risk.

How to invoke

/news-short "<event / headline>"
/news-short "summarize today's <topic> development"
/news-short "<event>" --id=quake0701 --within-days=2

If no event is given, ask. --within-days=N overrides the recency window (default 3).

What runs (the four teams)

Same four-team flow as info-short, with news-profile differences:

리서치팀 — requires ≥2 independent reputable outlets per claim, stamps recency.newest_source_date, and sets recency.ok=false if the story isn't fresh enough. If recency.ok is false, the director stops and tells you — stale news is not shipped.
제작팀 — --profile=news: tighter 120–150-word wire-service recap, every claim attributed ("according to ..."), plus an "As of <date>" disclosure.
법률팀 ⇄ 제작팀 — the strict gate. Adds, on top of info checks:
- defamation — no unsourced allegation about a named living person (BLOCK-tier with no fix; otherwise REVISE to soften/attribute/cut).
- fact-accuracy — every narrated claim must trace to a fact source.
- required-disclaimer — the As of <date> stamp must be present.
출시팀 — packages with the freshness note; news should be uploaded the same day it clears.

What it produces

outputs/short.mp4 — 1080×1920, ~60s, attributed recap + "As of ".
legal/legal-verdict.json — strict gate result + fix list.
release/ — upload copy (with the as-of line) + thumbnail + checklist.

What it does NOT do

Ship stale news (recency gate) or unsourced allegations (defamation gate).
Auto-upload, or write public URLs into the repo.
Editorialize — neutral recap only; speculation is a REVISE.

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.
