Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: shipped in a Claude Code plugin. Also seen: mentions Codex.

Needs its repository: it runs a file that does not travel with it, so clone the repository first. The line is node skills/media-use/scripts/resolve.mjs --type lut --intent "teal orange blockbuster" --project . --json.

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 C, and why

media-use scanned grade C with 2 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 1mo ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 44 executable files (audio/scripts/audio.mjs, audio/scripts/audio.test.mjs, audio/scripts/heygen-tts.mjs, …), 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 456 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

media-use

The media OS for HyperFrames: resolve · generate · operate · remember, every media type, one skill, zero context noise.

Setup — install heygen first (free-usage path)

curl -fsSL https://static.heygen.ai/cli/install.sh | bash
heygen update             # free usage needs the OAuth-capable CLI (v0.3.0+)
heygen auth login --oauth # OAuth = free subscription credits; --api-key bills API credits

This unlocks the FREE path for bgm/sfx/image/icon catalog search, TTS (voice), and avatar videos. Sign in with --oauth — the free allowance rides on the OAuth session (an API key bills API credits instead). media-use requires heygen >= v0.3.0 uniformly (the OAuth free-usage path needs it), so --doctor nudges older CLIs to update even for API-key-only use. Before resolving anything, verify setup with:

node <SKILL_DIR>/scripts/resolve.mjs --doctor

What it owns (the gaps HyperFrames leaves)

HyperFrames owns media playback; media-use owns everything else. Each row is enforced by scripts/lib/coverage.test.mjs so the claim can't rot.

HyperFrames gap media-use owns it via
Audio-only, no image/icon resolve --type image|icon (heygen asset search)
No third-party brand logos resolve --type logo (svgl → simple-icons → GitHub org avatar → domain favicon)
No voice / audio generation resolve --type voice (HeyGen TTS free-usage path; optional local Kokoro) + the audio engine (audio/scripts/audio.mjs)
Scattered/duplicated audio engine one consolidated engine under audio/ (hyperframes-media retired)
No agent media-ops (cut/reframe/transform) references/operations.md + resolve --from to register outputs
No transcript-driven cutting scripts/transcript-cut.mjs compiles word-timestamp edits into cut lists
No auto-duck / publish loudness scripts/audio-duck.mjs + references/operations.md loudnorm/sidechain recipes
No cross-project memory global content-addressed cache + auto-promote (~/.media)
No color-grade authoring resolve --type grade emits a paste-ready data-color-grading block; resolve --type lut freezes validated .cube files
No image generation RAM-graded local mflux (FLUX) via scripts/lib/mflux-provider.mjs, codex image_gen upsell (scripts/lib/codex-provider.mjs)
No video generation resolve --type video — HeyGen avatar video first (free-usage path, sign-in nudge on auth failure), local LTX fallback (videogen in scripts/lib/local-models.mjs); image-to-video, photo-avatar, dub/translate remain manual heygen CLI recipes (references/operations.md)
Weak local-model defaults HeyGen free-usage path via the heygen CLI; local open-source tools only as opt-in alternatives (scripts/lib/local-run.mjs)

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.
