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

auto-whiteboard-video 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/run_video.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

What it actually says

Auto Whiteboard Video

Use the repository's canonical pipeline. Do not rebuild stages manually unless troubleshooting a failed stage.

Workflow

  1. Run scripts/doctor.py from the repository root.
  2. Save pasted text as a UTF-8 .txt file under a user-approved input location when no file is provided.
  3. Choose a stable project directory under output/; reuse it when resuming.
  4. Run the wrapper below and wait for completion.
  5. Read composition_report.json and report the final MP4 path, resolution, duration, and audio/video delta.
python skills/auto-whiteboard-video/scripts/run_video.py `
  --input examples/demo_30s.txt `
  --output-dir output/demo `
  --project-dir output/demo/latest `
  --keep-temp

All arguments are forwarded to auto-whiteboard/scripts/auto_generate.py.

Locked Defaults

  • Output: 1920x1080, 30 fps.
  • Source images: near 16:9; reject clear 3:2, square, and portrait results.
  • Visual style: #F6F1E3 background, black marker lines, restrained amber, faceless round-headed people.
  • Subtitles: size 88, maximum 20 full-width CJK characters per line.
  • BGM: configured default track at -28 dB.
  • Spoken numbers and display subtitles are normalized separately.

Resume Rules

  • Reuse the same --project-dir to preserve caches.
  • Use --force-tts, --force-images, --force-whiteboard, or --force-compose only when that stage must change.
  • Do not delete the project directory to fix a single failed scene.

Success Criteria

Require both final_video.mp4 and composition_report.json. Confirm 1920x1080, single-line subtitles, and output_av_delta_seconds < 0.1 before reporting success.

Files

What ships with it

2 files 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.
