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

app-sizzle 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 9d 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.

App Sizzle — GPT-Image-2 Enhanced iOS App Teaser

Generate a polished 15-second app teaser from real app screens. Each selected screen is passed through GPT-image-2 before Seedance so compressed captures become cleaner references without inventing UI.

Cost transparency gate

Before any paid MCP call, call identity_balance({verbose: true}) once. Surface the current balance, recent burn rate, and remaining runway, then gate the run with this exact message:

Estimated cost: about 3,000-4,000 credits (~$30-$40) for a typical run with screenshot enhancement plus Seedance video. This exceeds $5, so Reply proceed to continue or cancel to stop.

Do not call any paid MCP tool until the user replies proceed. If the user replies cancel, stop without generating. For non-interactive --quick or --config callers, require cost_ack=proceed in the config; if it is absent, stop with the estimate instead of spending credits.

Generation contract: use resolution="1080p", duration=15, and sound=True. Skip fast=true because it caps Seedance at 720p. The skill owns duration and sound so the user only has to supply app identity, screens, logo, and aspect ratio.

The visual aesthetic is derived from the app's personality — not defaulted to liquid glass. The agent reads the app's soul from its icon, screenshots, and category, then chooses a treatment. The user provides the app identity and assets; the agent decides everything else (mode, prompt, camera, style).


Pre-generation wall-clock guard

Start a timer at skill start once the required app identity and screen/logo source are available and the cost gate has passed. Time spent waiting for the user's proceed reply, or for non-interactive cost_ack=proceed, is not prep time and must not trigger this guard. If required inputs or real assets are missing, stop at Stage 0 or Stage 0.5 and ask for them; do not bypass the asset gate. For runs with required inputs in hand, the first paid generation call is the GPT-image-2 generate_image_edit enhancement pass, and it must be invoked within 5 minutes of skill start. If you have not invoked the first generate_image_edit enhancement within 5 minutes of skill start, stop before any paid generation call and report failed_pre_generation_timeout with what you have so far: fetched assets, selected screens, feature map, arc, enhancement-prompt status, Seedance prompt draft if any, and the exact blocker. Do not keep refining analysis, enhancement wording, prompt wording, or camera language.

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.
