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

boring-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.

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

Boring video

Orchestrate video pre-production as a chain of durable artifacts, then hand the approved plan to HyperFrames. Each to-* skill owns one conversion.

Intake

Resolve existing decisions from the request and project files. Ask one compact question for the missing choices:

  1. Presentation: faceless, footage, screen capture, talking head, or mixed media?
  2. Collaboration: storyboard reviews or agent-executed production with final preview?
  3. Voice: HyperFrames voice, ListenHub TTS, user recording, or no narration?
  4. Design: existing design truth, named direction, or agent-proposed direction?

Record the answers in the HyperFrames BRIEF.md. In agent-executed work, propose and record a design direction when the user leaves it open.

Chain

Start at the first missing or explicitly revised artifact:

  1. /to-spec-beatsBEATS.md
  2. /to-narrationNARRATION.md
  3. /to-scenesSCENES.md
  4. /to-storyboardSTORYBOARD.md
  5. /to-video → HyperFrames handoff

Finish each skill's completion criterion before advancing. A downstream finding returns to the artifact that owns the decision, then propagates forward.

Handoff

Presentation and workflow are separate decisions. Collect the presentation intent without selecting a workflow from memory. /to-video reads the current /hyperframes contract and performs the route.

Done

Pre-production is complete when the four planning artifacts agree and satisfy their owners. The wrapper run is complete when /to-video has transferred that truth, plus the confirmed voice branch, into the selected HyperFrames project.

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.
