stage-generate

stage-generate is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Orkas-AI/Orkas. It costs 0 tokens per session (2,130 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for generating AI video footage, speech, and images, then assembling them into a finished video. TTS, or text-to-speech, turns written words into spoken audio.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for spokesperson videos, image-to-video clips, narration, and other planned AI-generated video segments.
Why use it?
It helps coordinate generated media and avoid common problems such as adding duplicate narration to a clip that already contains speech.

About the project

Orkas is a desktop application for commanding a team of AI agents through one chat, with a commander model assigning work to specialist agents in parallel or in sequence. People use it to coordinate research, writing, presentations, and software tasks while keeping files on their computer. The catalogue includes skills for extending the agents available to Orkas.

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

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 10d 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.

stage-generate

How to produce AI-generated footage and how to execute a bounded semantic video edit already planned by the EDIT/AUTO workflow. Designed HTML remains composition work; deterministic cutting remains stage-edit work. In Orkas use generate_image, generate_video, and generate_speech, then assemble through stage-edit. Every billable call belongs to a signed project/plan.json generate segment and carries production_plan_path plus production_segment_id.

Pattern A — talking-head / spokesperson (口播 / 数字人)

  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 (generate_speech) 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 (composition skill) 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 generate-video call per shot; reuse a shared reference image / consistent style prompt for visual continuity).
  3. Assemble: concatenate the shots in order, add transitions, and overlay a title / captions from a composition.

Consistency (basic — deep consistency is a later capability)

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.
