render-qa-and-surgical-changes

render-qa-and-surgical-changes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from saranambiar/hyperframes-video-agent-skills. It costs 83 tokens per session (924 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A quality-checking and controlled-editing skill for nearly finished video renders. It verifies media details, timing, audio, captions, colors, scene boundaries, and proof frames while limiting changes to affected scenes.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for final video QA, timestamp-specific checks, contact sheets, audio verification, stale-style scans, and surgical re-renders.
Why use it?
It catches final-render problems and helps make small requested fixes without disturbing approved timing or synchronization elsewhere.

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

render-qa-and-surgical-changes 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.

Render QA And Surgical Changes

Use this skill when the video is nearly done or already approved and changes must be controlled.

Surgical Edit Rules

  • Patch source artifacts, not the final MP4, when source scenes and assembly scripts exist.
  • Re-render only affected scene(s).
  • Rebuild the final assembly from the current approved timeline.
  • Do not redesign, retime, or re-sync unrelated sections.
  • Search for duplicated/carryover frames before declaring done.
  • Extract proof frames at exact timestamps requested by the user.

Use templates/change-request.md before implementing a final tiny change.

QA Sequence

  1. Probe the final render.

    • Duration.
    • Resolution.
    • Frame rate.
    • Audio stream.
    • Sample rate and channels.
  2. Extract proof frames.

    • Scene boundaries.
    • Changed timestamps.
    • Caption style frames.
    • Final CTA or ending frame.
  3. Build a contact sheet.

    • Include all risky timestamps.
    • Include before/after frames for surgical changes.
  4. Check audio.

    • Narration present.
    • Music bed audible where intended.
    • Final silence or fade timing correct.
    • No clipped words after trims.
  5. Check theme and text.

    • Search for stale colors.
    • Search duplicated labels in carryover scenes.
    • Verify logos and product footage were not recolored accidentally.

Read references/failure-modes.md for common regressions.

Scripts

Use repo scripts when available:

  • scripts/probe_media.py
  • scripts/extract_proof_frames.py
  • scripts/make_contact_sheet.py
  • scripts/build_ass_captions.py
  • scripts/scan_theme_colors.py
  • scripts/timeline_manifest_to_ffmpeg.py

Acceptance

Report:

  • Final video path.
  • Probe summary.
  • Proof frame/contact sheet paths.
  • Files changed.
  • Exact checks performed.
  • Any unverified subjective item.

Exact Timestamp Checks

When the user names a timestamp:

  • Extract a frame at that exact time.
  • Extract one frame slightly before if appearance timing matters.
  • Extract one frame slightly after if disappearance timing matters.
  • Inspect the rendered final, not only the source scene.
  • If the same visual appears in the next scene, extract the boundary frame too.

What ships with it

1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
