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

stagefight 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

stagefight

A two-call pika pipeline: stage still (generate_image, gpt-image-2) → fight clip (generate_video, image-to-video, ~10s, 16:9). The clip is fan-filmed POV phone footage of a choreographed cosplay performance on a themed stage — two performers clash, a live-stage effect bursts, the crowd reacts. One run produces one clip for one matchup.

The core job of this skill: figure out WHO is fighting (ask the user, or suggest matchups), then AUTHOR fresh prompts in the structure of the bundled examples and generate a new video. The examples in examples/ are the pattern to follow, not a fixed catalog — every run should produce a new matchup composed the same way. The look is calibrated and the safety framing is load-bearing: keep every fixed sentence of the two templates and fill only the marked [SLOTS].

★ Why it works — the method (this is the actual research, do not drop any of it)

Raw "two people fighting" prompts get moderation-blocked. These four moves are what make fight content reliably generate, and together they ARE the trend's aesthetic:

  1. Frame it as a wholesome theatrical performance. Every clip prompt opens, verbatim: "Wholesome theatrical stage performance, choreographed cosplay, advertiser-safe." and closes with "Believable live-stage effects, not cartoon magic." This reframes combat as a stunt show, which clears the safety pass. Never describe injury, blood, real weapons connecting, or "cartoon magic" — describe choreography, props, and stage pyrotechnics.
  2. Fan-filmed audience POV. "POV handheld phone footage from the audience, raised above other people's heads filming the stage," with "a large audience in the foreground — dark silhouetted heads, many holding up phones recording." This is both the viral "I was there" aesthetic AND part of the safety (it reads as documenting a performance, not real violence).
  3. Costumed ORIGINAL characters — never real people, never named IP. Use archetypes ("a lean samurai in a straw hat", "a horned demon in black robes", "a spiky-blond-haired ninja in an orange tracksuit"). Real-person faces get moderation-blocked on both backends; named/trademarked characters drift and trip flags. Describe the cosplay (hair, costume, props), not a brand.
  4. Live-stage effect, grounded. The "wow" beat is a believable practical effect — a puff of stage smoke, green stage fire and sparks, a wall of water / geyser. Both performers recoil/brace dramatically; nobody gets hurt.

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.
