caption-templates

caption-templates is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from palmier-io/palmier-skills. It costs 130 tokens per session (6,989 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A fixed catalog of 28 verified caption styles for Palmier Pro, a video-editing application. Each preset defines how captions look and animate.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it when adding captions with a specified look, such as karaoke, documentary, TikTok, comic-book, or retro VHS styling.
Why use it?
It removes the need to guess which fonts, colors, sizes, and effects work together. Following a preset helps keep caption styling consistent with the intended visual style and video orientation.

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

caption-templates 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.

Palmier Pro caption templates

Caption styling is where an agent most easily produces something ugly: it pairs a font with a size that doesn't suit it, picks a neon color that fights the footage, or stacks an outline + background + shadow that no editor would ship. This skill replaces that guesswork with a default. Every value below was read out of a real Palmier project and confirmed against rendered frames.

Hard rules

  1. Pick exactly one template. Paste its config verbatim. Do not blend two templates, do not "improve" a color, do not add an outline or background a template doesn't have.
  2. No style at all is a valid answer. If the user just says "add captions" with no aesthetic intent, call add_captions with no style / animation / transform — the app's own default is clean and correct. Reach for a template only when the user signals a look ("bold", "podcast", "TikTok", "make them pop", "match my brand", names a vibe).
  3. Match orientation. Vertical templates are authored for 1080×1920, horizontal for 1920×1080. Using the wrong set gives text that is comically large or unreadably small — see Porting across canvas sizes.
  4. Fonts outside this catalog are fair game — but verify them. Palmier's font list is far larger than the 13 families used here; this catalog is a curated slice, not the available set. Set whatever font the user asks for. What doesn't change: after setting an unfamiliar font, render a frame with inspect_timeline and confirm it actually resolved instead of silently falling back to a default.
  5. Always verify. After add_captions or update_text, run inspect_timeline on a frame inside the caption range and actually look at it.

Workflow

- [ ] 1. get_timeline — canvas width/height, fps, which track has speech
- [ ] 2. Pick ONE template from the picker below (or none — see rule 2)
- [ ] 3. add_captions with that template's exact block
- [ ] 4. inspect_timeline mid-caption — confirm it renders as described
- [ ] 5. Report the template name you used

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.
