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.

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 | $0.00079 | $0.03111 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00032 | $0.01244 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00016 | $0.00622 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00008 | $0.00311 |
Grade A, and why
mike-cartoon-broll 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 23d 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 — 263 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Mike Cartoon B-Roll
Create short cartoon inserts that break up talking-head footage. Use one strong opening frame, then give the video model room to invent the progression and scene-appropriate audio.
Style
Use assets/cartoon-style-reference.png as the authoritative visual-style
reference in every image-generation request. Treat its characters, objects,
poses, and composition as examples, not required scene content. Choose the cast
from the requested idea. A scene may include Mike, the robot, both, other
characters, or neither. In each frame prompt, list the allowed subjects and say
the reference controls rendering only, not scene content.
- Warm ivory paper with visible texture.
- Fine graphite-and-ink outlines with imperfect cross-hatching.
- Muted watercolor and gouache fills.
- Sparse editorial compositions with grounded shadows and negative space.
- Static wide or medium-wide camera and dry, understated humour.
- If Mike appears, use his black cap, charcoal T-shirt, dark jeans, and black sneakers.
- If the friendly robot appears, use its rounded weathered teal body, cream face panel, black oval eyes, mustard antenna ball and chest medallion, and segmented dark limbs.
- If Mike's dog Sammy appears, draw a chocolate labrador with a dark collar.
- The robot stands only for the viewer's coding agent. Never cast it as the database, a function, the computer, or a scheduled job; use objects or other characters for those roles.
Preserve Meaning
Before scene ideation, extract the minimum semantic anchors needed for the point to survive. Do not turn every clause into a requirement:
- Must show: only the causally necessary actors, including who initiates the action and who is affected. Treat an explicitly named team practice, workflow, or real-world setting as required when it is part of the claim rather than incidental background.
- Must happen: the essential action, who acts on whom, cause, and result.
- Must change: any essential before-and-after contrast, role change, or emotional reversal.
What ships with it
3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

mike-cartoon-broll is a skill published in the GitHub repository mikecann/agent-skills (21 stars, last pushed 23d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 79 tokens to every session and 3,111 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5.5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
