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

yt-ingestion 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.

What it actually says

yt-ingestion: standalone artifact fetcher

When triggered, invoke the yt-ingestion-agent sub-agent with:

  • youtube_url: the URL from the user's message
  • output_dir: by default, Team/BenAI/Profiles/Milan/Daily/{today}/yt-ingestion-{video-id}/. If the user specifies an output directory, use theirs.

Surface the resulting manifest path to the user when done. If the agent surfaces a 3-option choice (e.g., 1080p blocked), present those options to the user and pass their selection back.

Profile boundary

Output writes to Profiles/Milan/. See [[yt-pipeline SPEC|SPEC.md]] for the full invariant.

When NOT to use this skill

  • The user wants a full course package: use yt-to-course instead.
  • The user wants a community announcement post: use yt-to-community instead.

For details on the fallback chain, see [[fallback-strategies]].

Files

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
