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

generate-visual 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 5d 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 — 215 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Generate Visual

On-screen video visual generator. Takes a concept and produces either a single visual or a progressive-disclosure sequence in Ben's locked brand system.

Two Modes

single

One slide, one prompt, one call. Same flow as the thumbnail generate skill except no Ben in frame by default (slides are the visual the audience sees, Ben is talking over them). The supporting visual IS the hero.

Use when the user says: "make a slide showing X," "visual for this section," "one image of the concept."

progressive-disclosure

A sequence of N visuals (typically 2 to 6) where each frame adds one new element to the previous. The story unfolds as Ben clicks through them on-screen. Background, palette, composition, and previously-shown elements stay LOCKED across the entire sequence; the only change between frame K and frame K+1 is the ADDITION of one new piece.

Use when the user says: "progressive disclosure," "step-by-step reveal," "build this up across slides," "show the layers," "frame-by-frame walkthrough," or describes a concept that naturally unfolds in stages.

Implementation: iterative image-to-image. Generate frame 1 from a prompt. For frame 2, pass frame 1 as medias[0] and prompt the model to add element X. For frame 3, pass frame 2 (the just-generated image) as medias[0] and add element Y. Continue until all N frames are generated. This locks visual continuity because each frame is literally derived from the previous one. See references/progressive-disclosure.md for the full mechanic.

Inputs

What the skill needs from the user:

  1. Concept — what the visual should show. ("The skills folder structure: SKILL.md plus references/ inside it")
  2. Modesingle or progressive-disclosure. Inferred from the concept if not stated (multi-stage concepts default to progressive-disclosure).
  3. Number of steps — only for progressive-disclosure (default 4, max 6).
  4. Video slug — the topic-slug of the video this visual belongs to (used in the output path: Projects/youtube/{video-slug}/visuals/). Required. Ask once if missing.
  5. Reference image(s) (optional but recommended, may be multiple) — past slides, sketches, screenshots, real logo PNGs, or anything that should anchor the look. All references must be READ first via the Read tool, then passed to medias[]. If the user mentions a reference but doesn't provide a path or attachment, ASK for the path BEFORE doing anything else. Do not guess, do not proceed, do not generate without seeing the path.

Changes

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.
