talking-head is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sanky369/vibe-building-skills. It costs 149 tokens per session (2,139 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A planning guide for videos presented by a person, such as a testimonial, tutorial, founder update, or user-style advertisement. It defines the presenter, setting, lighting, framing, script structure, and still-image prompts.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to plan testimonials, user-generated-style ads, educational videos, founder updates, presenter-led product demonstrations, and training videos.
Why use it?
It helps match the presenter and filming style to what the audience will trust, while organising the message into a hook, main points, and call to action. It plans the video but does not create the finished motion or voice.

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

talking-head 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 12d 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 — 131 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Talking Head

Turn a message and an audience into a complete Talking Head Video Spec — one presenter archetype fully specified (styling, setting, lighting, framing), a timed hook/body/CTA script skeleton, and keyframe prompts ready for fal-ai/nano-banana-pro. The governing principle: credibility is cast, not scripted — the presenter's look, setting, and register must match what the audience already trusts for this kind of message (a polished studio expert selling "authentic user review" reads as an ad and dies). You produce the plan and still keyframes; voice, motion, and editing happen downstream.

When to use / when not to

  • Use for any video fronted by a person: testimonials, UGC-style ads, educational/explainer videos, founder updates, product demos with a presenter, corporate training.
  • Product-only motion (no person) → skills/creative/product-video.
  • Programmatic/animated videos rendered in Remotion → skills/creative/remotion-script-writer.
  • Static social assets → skills/creative/social-graphics.
  • No brand style defined and consistency matters → run skills/creative/creative-strategist first; its style guide feeds presenter styling.

Intake

Ask in one tight batch, only what's missing:

  1. Message and goal — what is the presenter saying, and what should the viewer do after (CTA)?
  2. Audience and platform — who watches, and where (TikTok/Reels, YouTube, landing page, internal training)?
  3. Trust mode — should this feel like a peer's recommendation (authentic/UGC) or an expert's word (authority/polished)?
  4. Constraints — real person to feature (founder, customer) or generated/hired presenter? Brand style guide from skills/creative/creative-strategist?

Infer instead of asking: platform → length and framing; product category → default trust mode (consumer social ad → UGC; B2B/finance/health → authority). Don't stall: with message + audience known, state assumptions ("Assuming UGC style, 30s, vertical — say otherwise") and proceed.

What this file has done since we first saw it

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.
