video

video is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from MODSetter/SurfSense. It costs 15 tokens per session (1,084 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for creating narrated MP4 videos using Remotion, a framework for generating videos with code.

In plain words
What is it for?
Making narrated videos and exporting them as MP4 files in the sandbox.
Why use it?
It helps when you need a finished video file instead of only scripts, images, or source code.

Skill for Claude CodeCodex

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one.

Needs its repository: it reads a path above its own folder, which exists only inside the repository. The line is import {stagger} from "../../stagger";.

Good fit Making narrated videos and exporting them as MP4 files in the sandbox.

About the project

SurfSense is an open-source desktop application that uses an AI agent to research, transform, and edit documents while keeping their index on the user's machine. It is intended for people working with documents they cannot upload, with a choice of local or remote models and no account required.

Getting it into your agent

It runs from inside its repository, so the clone comes first — what it calls does not travel with the file alone.

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 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 1mo 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Video

Create one narrated 1920×1080 MP4 at 30 fps in /workspace. Use the baked /opt/remotion harness and dependencies. Never install or download anything. The sandbox has no network.

Plan before rendering

Draft the complete deck specification first. For every slide include its on-screen text and narration line. Keep this specification unchanged: pass its narration lines to synthesize_narration, and later use the full specification as markdown_representation. It is the durable accessible and editable source; scene files and props.json are ephemeral.

Refuse requests above the 12-scene product limit rather than silently shortening them. The selected composition must also be at most 180 seconds.

Composition rules

  • Give each slide one clear purpose. Keep safe outer margins, readable body contrast, restrained motion, and every shape on the 1920×1080 canvas.
  • The harness supplies sequencing, narration audio, and the SurfSense watermark. Do not add another watermark or audio element.
  • Use only these system-installed font families: Inter for normal text, Lora for editorial titles or quotes, and JetBrains Mono for code and figures. No other family is available reliably offline. Do not use loadFont, @font-face, or @remotion/google-fonts.
  • Write one complete, self-contained TSX module per slide. Each module must import every dependency it uses and have a default component export. The harness writes the module verbatim: it does not inject globals, strip imports, or rewrite exports. Dependencies must already exist in baked node_modules.

Use this exact module shape:

import type React from "react";
import {AbsoluteFill, useCurrentFrame, useVideoConfig} from "remotion";
import {stagger} from "../../stagger";

const Scene: React.FC = () => {
  const frame = useCurrentFrame();
  const {fps} = useVideoConfig();
  const entrance = stagger(frame, fps, 0, 1);

  return (
    <AbsoluteFill
      style={{
        alignItems: "center",
        backgroundColor: "#101828",
        color: "white",
        fontFamily: "Inter",
        justifyContent: "center",
      }}
    >
      <h1 style={{fontSize: 96, ...entrance}}>A clear opening</h1>
    </AbsoluteFill>
  );
};

export default Scene;

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.
