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

captions-and-music-bed 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 11d 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.

Captions And Music Bed

Use this skill after the narration timeline is stable.

Captions

Caption source rules:

  • Use the user's script as wording source.
  • Use the final narration-only master as timing source.
  • Preserve punctuation and capitalization.
  • Show one caption line at a time.
  • Start the caption when the first word is spoken.
  • Avoid captions over silent hooks or silent CTA holds unless requested.

Preview style before burning the full video when style changes.

Read references/caption-rules.md for timing and style guidance.

Caption Style Defaults

  • Bottom center.
  • White text.
  • Translucent dark backing.
  • Generous bottom margin.
  • Font size small enough not to dominate UI.
  • One line only; split long sentences into natural phrase chunks.

Use templates/caption-style.ass as a starter.

Music Bed

Music source rules:

  • Start from a chosen offset when the intro of the source track is weak.
  • Keep hook music audible if there is no voiceover.
  • Duck under narration.
  • Do not raise music during later narration pauses if the user says it is distracting.
  • End music at the requested time, including final silence if requested.
  • If the music source ends early, restart from a musically useful tail section.

Read references/music-ducking.md for FFmpeg patterns.

QA

  • Listen to start, middle, and final tail.
  • Check music is present and audible, not merely technically in the stream.
  • Confirm no clipped narration.
  • Confirm captions are not late by several words.
  • Extract a caption proof frame from a visually busy scene.
  • Probe final audio stream.

Output

Return:

  • Caption file path.
  • Caption preview frame.
  • Music bed strategy.
  • Final mixed video path.
  • Audio/caption checks performed.

Caption Chunking Rules

Split captions by:

  • Natural phrase boundaries.
  • Breath points.
  • Punctuation.
  • Maximum line length.
  • Visual complexity behind the caption.

Do not split in a way that changes meaning. Do not add punctuation that the script does not contain.

Changes

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.
