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

magnific-video-gen 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 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.

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.

Magnific Video Generation Skill

Before Generating - Routing and Session Rules

  1. Routing check: on production jobs with ComfyUI API-node credits, video generation is usually cheaper via ComfyUI (comfy generate --api-key headless, or the workflow UI) - Magnific video is for tests, personal work, or when its models/features are specifically wanted. Confirm the route if a production job is active.
  2. Confirm the destination folder before generating (teams accumulate multiple similarly-named project folders). Never generate into the workspace root.
  3. On an auth/re-authorization error, stop - don't retry. Tell the user to run /mcp to re-authenticate, then resume. Presigned upload URLs go stale across re-auth; re-request them.
  4. Default audio OFF - audio generation costs significantly more; only enable when the user asks.

Skill Pairing - Seedance Prompt System

The seedance-20 skill ecosystem handles prompt writing and shot direction. Use it before generating via Magnific for better results.

Goal Use first
Vague idea, need creative direction seedance-interview or seedance-interview-short
Write/improve a Seedance prompt seedance-prompt or seedance-prompt-short
Camera move / shot language seedance-camera
Remove generic AI filler from prompt seedance-antislop
VFX effects in the video seedance-vfx
Bad result, diagnosing seedance-troubleshoot

Workflow: Seedance skills -> polished prompt -> magnific-video-gen for MCP execution.


Mandatory First Step

Always call video_plan before video_generate. Skip only if the user explicitly says "just generate" or "one-shot".

video_plan returns: brief summary, open questions, recommended model slug, prompt draft, and multi-clip instructions for videos >15s.

video_plan(
    prompt="raw user idea - pass verbatim",
    aspectRatioHint="16:9",
    durationHint=6,
    styleHint="cinematic photorealistic",
    referenceIdentifiers=["<creation_id>"]  # if attaching refs
)

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.
