.agents/skills/video-storyboard/SKILL.md

video-storyboard is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from st0012/cctop. It costs 202 tokens per session (3,329 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A structured method for planning or reviewing the story of a short video, such as a product demo, launch video, or explainer. It covers the message, sequence of scenes, and pacing before or during production.

In plain words
What is it for?
Useful for creating video scripts and storyboards, or auditing an existing video to improve its hook, structure, pacing, and explanation.
Why use it?
It helps identify unclear messaging, weak openings, slow sections, and narrative problems before time is spent rendering or publishing the video.

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

video-storyboard 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 12d 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.

Video Storyboard

A repeatable process for the part of a video that decides whether it works: the narrative. Rendering executes the story; this skill designs it.

For cctop launch videos, this is the first half of the workflow:

  1. Use this skill for story/script/storyboard/audit decisions.
  2. Render through the repo video pipeline (cd video && ./build.sh launch for the launch cut).
  3. After the user approves the rendered video, switch to $video-assets and publish with its confirmation gate. That workflow uploads cctop-launch.mp4, cctop-launch-720p.mp4, and a freshly generated cctop-launch-preview.avif together to the non-latest media-assets release.

For cctop product facts, audience, feature-fit judgment, and language choices, read PRODUCT.md before writing positioning or scripts. Use README.md for current public-facing claims and supported-tool lists.

It has two modes:

  • DESIGN — build a video's story from scratch (product facts → approved storyboard).
  • AUDIT — run the same lenses over a finished or draft video to find what's weak and how to fix it.

Pick the mode from the request. "Storyboard a video for X" → DESIGN. "Why does this video feel flat / make it better / review this cut" → AUDIT.

Everything here is built from frameworks that survived adversarial fact-checking. The frameworks are solid; many of the numbers floating around the industry are blog-grade rules of thumb. Where a guideline is directional rather than proven, it is marked [directional]. See references/frameworks.md for provenance, citations, and the specifics that were refuted (so you don't codify folklore).


The core idea

Most product videos fail the same way: they are a feature montage from the product's point of view ("here's the panel, here are the tabs, here are the themes"). They list capabilities instead of telling the story of a person whose problem gets solved.

The fix is one reframe and four moves:

  1. The viewer is the hero; the product is the guide. (StoryBrand) The story is about them and their struggle, not about your UI.
  2. Pick one spine and fill it — don't free-associate beats.
  3. Connect beats by cause-and-effect (but/therefore), never by chronology (and then).
  4. Engineer the opening for a muted, scrolling viewer — the first frame must earn the next two seconds.

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.
