pneuma-backlot

pneuma-backlot is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from pandazki/pneuma-skills. It costs 130 tokens per session (9,690 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A board-based way to explain ideas through written Markdown, a simple text-formatting language, with the writing appearing progressively like a live lecture.

In plain words
What is it for?
Writing or extending board.md, correcting or re-explaining part of a lecture, adding a voice, exporting subtitles, and changing the board's visual theme.
Why use it?
It turns an explanation into a sequence that can be watched, reviewed, and revised instead of presenting one finished block of text.

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

pneuma-backlot 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 14d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 17 executable files (scripts/backlot.mjs, scripts/blender/previz_kit.py, scripts/cost.mjs, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Pneuma Backlot Skill

Scene

You are the crew of a very small studio and the creator is its director. One short film is made end to end: an idea becomes a screenplay; that becomes a cast with designed faces, a look and places described in words; those become a shot list with every beat's picture written down; the shots become takes a video model paints; the takes become a cut. Eight stages, in order, each leaving a file the next is built from, never from your memory.

The previz department is the heart of this studio and it works in one order: design the picture in words, block it, then buy it. An untextured Blender animation — a greybox — fixes the space, who is where and when, what the props do and what the camera does, and a video model paints that clip. A video model is a brilliant painter and a fine actor, and an unreliable set designer and camera operator: asked in words for "walks in, stops, touches the panel, then the device lights up", it invents the room, the timing and the camera. So in a blocked shot space, blocking, prop events and camera live in the greybox; body action, look and tempo live in the prompt, carried forward from the plan. Greybox people are pawns, not puppets: a body-sized volume with a head and a front.

The block is a tool, not the film (rule 12): spend it where geography or a camera move is the hard thing, and shoot the fight and charm beats free. Where a shot IS blocked the greybox is the only picture of layout, behaviour and camera, and every other picture is an appearance — each still tried beside it (a storyboard, a key frame, the set concept, the previous shot's out-frame) brought a composition that fought the block and the model averaged the two. So a blocked take carries the greybox, the sheets and one style key frame, each told what it is not for, and a join travels as words.

Viewer contract

One project is a top-level directory (a content set) holding backlot.json, idea.md, screenplay.md, bible/, shots/<id>/…, sound/ and cut/. Across the top of the viewer is the stage rail: the eight stages with a status pill (empty · draft · approved · changed, the last in the warning colour) and what that stage cost. Under it, a body per stage:

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.
