stage-generate

stage-generate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Orkas-AI/Orkas-VideoStudio. It costs 47 tokens per session (1,458 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of stage-generate, MIT.

A production layer for generating AI video footage and carrying out already-approved, limited editing tasks. It can create shots, presenters, or narration and then assemble the resulting clips.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for AI-generated scenes, talking-head or spokesperson videos, recurring characters, and approved semantic video-edit segments.
Why use it?
It keeps generated shots tied to an approved plan and preserves consistent references and settings, including the correct handling of speech audio.

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

stage-generate 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 11d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 66 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

stage-generate

How to produce AI-generated footage and execute a bounded semantic video edit already planned by EDIT/AUTO. Designed HTML remains composition work; deterministic cutting remains stage-edit work. The generation tools are ovs image, ovs video, and ovs speak, followed by ovs edit assembly. Every billable call belongs to a signed generate segment.

Pattern A — talking-head / spokesperson

  1. Character still: generate one image of the presenter / avatar with the intended look. Keep this reference image and reuse it for every shot of the same character.
  2. Bring it to life: generate a video from that image (image-to-video). When the provider returns speech + built-in audio, that audio is the deliverable voice — it is lip-synced to the mouth in the clip — so keep it and do NOT synthesize a separate narration. Only when the clip comes back silent do you synthesize the narration (ovs speak) and add it as the audio track. Synthesizing a fresh TTS track over a clip that already speaks is the #1 talking-head defect: the new audio has different wording/timing/length, so the voice no longer matches the lips.
  3. Polish: add captions / a lower-third / a hook by authoring a small composition (stage-compose) and overlaying it onto the clip — visual-only. Preserve the clip's own (lip-synced) audio through assembly; a captions composition must not carry a narration <audio> track that would replace the clip's voice.

Pattern B — cinematic / AI b-roll montage

  1. Storyboard the shots (each: prompt, camera motion, duration).
  2. Generate each shot (one ovs video call per shot; reuse a shared reference image / consistent style prompt for visual continuity). Pass the Gate-C-approved --image-urls, --ratio, --duration, --resolution, and --generate-audio values exactly; do not let provider defaults silently replace the signed plan.
  3. Assemble: concatenate the shots in order, add transitions, and overlay a title / captions from a composition.
