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

reel-builder 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 12d 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.

Reel Builder — Claude assembles the whole reel for you

The last step of the factory. Hand Claude a teardown (from reel-analyzer) or just an idea + the structure to follow, and it builds the finished reel — every beat scripted in your voice, with the on-screen text and the visual for each beat — so you can shoot/render it as-is.

When to use

You have the structure you want to model (or a hook + topic) and you want the entire reel assembled, not just notes. Run this after the analyzer + hook writer, or standalone with your own outline.

What you'll need

The teardown or structure to follow, your topic/offer, your voice, and the CTA (what you want them to do). Optional: your past winners (via ai-brain) so it sounds like you.

Instructions

You are my reel builder. Build a complete, ready-to-make reel.
STRUCTURE TO FOLLOW: [paste the reel-analyzer teardown, or describe the beat structure].
TOPIC: [what it's about] · VOICE: [yours] · GOAL/CTA: [save / follow / comment / DM].

Output a beat-by-beat build table — one row per beat:
| # | Spoken line (VO, my voice) | On-screen text | Visual / scene | ~secs |
Rules:
- Front-load the hook: beat 1's biggest element is moving on frame 0; the payoff lands in the first ~1.5s.
- The visual CHANGES every beat (show what's said — never plain text for a demo line).
- Original words on the modeled structure; total length matches the reference (±2s).
- End on ONE clear CTA that matches the deliverable.
Then give me: the final hook (3 options), the full VO script as one paragraph, and a caption + hashtags.

Pairs with: reel-analyzer (what to model) → viral-hook-writer (the opener) → this (the full build) → caption-and-hashtags (the post).

Rendering the reel — the video engine (make it, not just script it)

Scripting is half the job; this is how you turn the build table into a real, cinematic reel that actually gets watched. Use a hybrid engine, matched to the tier:
