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.

ModelPer sessionOnce invoked
Fable 5.1 $0.00178 $0.01657
Opus 5 $0.00089 $0.00829

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 7d 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 Editing Skill

Edits, processes, and renders videos using FFmpeg and Remotion.


Intelligent Editing Workflow

This skill enables Claude to act as a smart video editor. Before executing commands:

  1. Analyze - Examine videos (duration, resolution, audio) using ffprobe
  2. Transcribe - Get speech content for smart cuts (if needed)
  3. Ask - Clarify user intent and preferences
  4. Plan - Propose edit approach for approval
  5. QA Test - Run automated tests before user preview (see references/qa-testing.md)
  6. Preview - Only show to user after QA passes
  7. Iterate - Refine based on feedback

See references/intelligent-editing.md for detailed workflow, questions to ask, and quality checks.


Tool Selection

Task FFmpeg Remotion
Stitching Same codec, no effects Transitions, overlays, programmatic
Transitions Simple crossfades Multiple types, custom timing
Captions SRT burn-in TikTok-style word highlighting
Teasers Quick clips Text overlays, branded elements

General guidance:

  • FFmpeg: Fast CLI operations, batch processing, format conversion
  • Remotion: Styled content, animations, preview before render, React components

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.
