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

riffkit scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 today.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 161 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Riffkit Skill

Start here

  1. Node 20+ installed (node -v)? If riffkit --version fails or shows a version below 0.2.0, run npm i -g @riffkit/cli@latest. Then run riffkit login --agent: it prints the approval link and exits with code 12 while the user has not approved yet (or your command times out). Send the user the link exactly as printed, and run riffkit login --agent again after they say they approved (if a re-run prints a new link, send that one). From then on every Riffkit call is a riffkit command, never curl: each step of The flow names its command, riffkit help lists them all with their routes, and riffkit help <command> shows what a command does and its options.
  2. No Node 20+, or the install fails? Each command is one HTTP call: references/api.md lists them, starting with Auth.
  3. Three hard stops. Adapt or Swap is the user's choice: ask unless their words name it. Spend credits (a command run with --yes, or an HTTP call that spends) only after the user approved the plan you restated and its quoted price. Never say a video is ready without the finished task's asset_id; hand it over with a link from riffkit get_video_link.
  4. Read this whole file before acting, and a reference file (index at the end) when a step points to it. If a web-reading tool gave you a summary, read it again in full: curl -fsSL https://riffkit.ai/SKILL.md (save it to a file and read the file if your shell shows only a preview).

Core stance: you riff the formula, not the video. Give one winning source; the backend analyzes the emotion formula that hijacks attention and migrates it onto your own content. The footage can be completely different as long as the viewer travels the same psychological path. Or keep the footage: a Swap re-shoots the source's own shots and changes only who or what is in them.

Skill scope

This skill makes short AI videos in exactly three modes: adapt riffs (analyze a source video's emotion formula and regenerate it as your own story), swap riffs (mode=swap: keep the source's shots, cuts and timing, and put your character, product or setting into them) and creation videos (an original video from a written creative direction, no source video). That is the entire product surface. If a user asks for something outside this — a different content format, or a feature this product doesn't have — say plainly that this product only makes riff (adapt / swap) and creation videos; don't call unrelated APIs and don't steer them elsewhere.
