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.

SkillSpector: 11 findings, up to medium
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00233 | $0.13603 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00117 | $0.06802 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00047 | $0.02721 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00023 | $0.01360 |
Grade A, and why
clone-video-ad scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 8d 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.

Not a fault in itself. Listed so you know the mod talks to something, and to what.
curl -sS -X POST https://api.novoads.ai/v1/uploads \ How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 840 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
Clone ad — Seedance 2.0
Clone an existing video ad for a different product. You analyze the source frame by frame,
transcribe the dialogue, extract the visual style and beat structure, then generate a new
seedance-2.0 video adapted for the user's product.
How this differs from analyze-video:
- analyze-video → the output is a reusable markdown formula saved to
prompt-library/. - clone-video-ad → the output is a rendered video delivered to the user.
Steps 1 to 3 are the same analysis in both. The only charge in that half is the transcript in step 2 — a fraction of a credit, and free on a re-read of the same source. Everything from step 9 on is the real spend.
If shared/ is missing from disk
references/solo-install.md — what a solo install lacks (craft.md, caption-video, the
b-roll scripts, check-novoads-env.sh, MASTER_CONTEXT.md) and how to fetch each. Skip it
inside the full pack.
Read order
This skill links outward more than any other here, and its two biggest targets fan out again (22 and 10 further links). A file reached through another file gets skimmed, not read, so open these four directly, in order. Everything else is lookup.
- This file — workflow, gates, the constraints that bite.
../novoads-api/prompting/prompt-library/seedance-2.md— fields, grid, prompt craft, what the estimate flags. Before composing a prompt, not when one fails.- One formula matched to the source, not all:
seedance-2-ugc.mdtalking-head,-feature-walkthroughdemo,-premium-reveal/-product-heroproduct-only,-studio-lookbookpolished. Same directory as (2). ../../shared/references/craft.md§ 1 — the transcribe-verify doctrine step 12 rests on.
../novoads-api/SKILL.md is the contract, not a step: open it when a response shape or an
error code needs settling.
What this API changes about cloning
The analysis half is nearly untouched: frames and the beat structure are local work on the
user's file, and the transcript is one cheap API call instead of a local install (step 2).
The generation half has three differences worth knowing before you promise anything. All three were established with free 400 probes that reject
before any charge, and re-verified field-for-field against the deployed spec 2.12.0
(2026-08-06):
What ships with it
3 files 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.
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.
- 8d ago First seen · 840 lines · 233 tokens per session scan A 4b246590500a
clone-video-ad is a skill published in the GitHub repository novoads/agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 13d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 233 tokens to every session and 13,603 once invoked, about $0.0012 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-31.
