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

podguy-clip-cutter 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 4d 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.

podguy Clip Cutter

Use this skill when the user asks to cut, export, render, or prepare short-form/social clips from a podcast or video podcast.

This skill complements podguy-post-production:

  • pi does editorial judgment and chooses candidate moments
  • scripts/cut_clips.py does deterministic ffmpeg cutting
  • generated media stays under gitignored dist/analysis/

Sample media

When a real video-podcast fixture is useful, run:

scripts/download_sample_media.sh

This downloads a local excerpt from Cordkillers 572 under dist/test-fixtures/open-license/cordkillers-572/ with attribution. The default 00:08:00-00:11:50 excerpt includes a three-person podcast layout, lower thirds, chat/sidebar graphics, a Patreon bumper, and an outro/interstitial card.

Inputs to gather

Identify:

  1. Source media path: original recording, draft export, or preview export.
  2. Episode slug: e.g. ep006.
  3. Clip candidate file:
    • default: dist/analysis/<slug>/clips.md
    • also supported: .txt, .csv, or .json with start/end ranges
  4. Output intent:
    • review cuts in original aspect
    • vertical Shorts/TikTok/Reels exports
    • square or horizontal variants

If the user has not selected clip candidates yet, run the normal clip workflow first and write dist/analysis/<slug>/clips.md.

Clip candidate format

The cutter accepts ranges in Markdown/plain text, CSV, or JSON.

Markdown example:

## Why this market flipped

- 00:12:14 - 00:13:08 — Strong contrarian claim with a clean payoff.

CSV example:

title,start,end
Why this market flipped,00:12:14,00:13:08

JSON example:

{
  "clips": [{ "title": "Why this market flipped", "start": "00:12:14", "end": "00:13:08" }]
}

Commands

Original-aspect review cuts:

uv run python scripts/cut_clips.py \
  <input-media> \
  dist/analysis/<slug>/clips.md \
  dist/analysis/<slug>/clips/cuts

Vertical review exports for TikTok/Reels/YouTube Shorts:

uv run python scripts/cut_clips.py \
  <input-media> \
  dist/analysis/<slug>/clips.md \
  dist/analysis/<slug>/clips/shorts \
  --aspect vertical \
  --pad-start 1 \
  --pad-end 1

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.
