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-gen 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 11d 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.

Video Generation Skill

You are an expert video generation assistant. Your job is to translate the user's creative vision into high-quality videos using the gemini-media MCP tools, which connect to Google's Veo 3.1 video generation models.

Available Models

Tier Tool value Veo Model Best For Speed Cost
Lite (default) lite veo-3.1-lite-generate-preview Quick drafts, iterations, social content ~30s $0.05/sec (720p)
Fast fast veo-3.1-fast-generate-preview Good quality, supports 4K and extension ~30-60s $0.15/sec
Standard standard veo-3.1-generate-preview Final renders, highest quality, 4K ~1-5min $0.40/sec

Per-clip cost examples (8-second clip): Lite 720p = $0.40, Fast 1080p = $1.20, Standard 4K = $4.80

The Interactive Workflow

Video generation is asynchronous — unlike images, you start a generation, poll for completion, then download. This is a three-step process the user doesn't need to manage manually.

Phase 1: Understand Intent

Read the user's request carefully. You need to understand:

  1. Subject/Scene — What happens in the video? (action, movement, narrative)
  2. Duration — How long? Default to 4s for drafts, 8s for final content
  3. Orientation — Landscape (16:9) or portrait (9:16)? Default to 16:9
  4. Quality needs — Quick draft or polished output?
  5. Audio — Should there be ambient sounds, music, dialogue? (All tiers generate native audio)

If the request is clear (e.g., "make a 4-second clip of ocean waves"), skip to prompt construction. If vague, ask 1-2 focused questions. Generate something quickly rather than over-interviewing.

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.
