setup-boring-video-skills

setup-boring-video-skills is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sugarforever/boring-video-studio. It costs 27 tokens per session (378 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A setup and checking guide for the Boring Video planning skills and their production dependency. It verifies that the expected skills are installed and can report missing or duplicate entries.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it before first use of the Boring Video suite to validate the installation and check that the required HyperFrames tool is available.
Why use it?
It prevents a video-planning workflow from starting with an incomplete or incorrectly exposed set of skills. It can also direct installation or repair when the user asks for it.

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

setup-boring-video-skills 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 4d 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

Setup Boring Video skills

Verify that the complete planning suite and its production dependency are available. This skill validates the toolchain; it does not create a video project.

Required suite

The following skills must be discoverable by name:

boring-video
develop-topic
to-article
to-spec-beats
to-narration
to-scenes
to-storyboard
to-video
record-terminal
setup-boring-video-skills

Setup

  1. Inspect the available skills and compare them with the required suite above.

  2. Report missing or duplicate skill names. A grouped source path is valid: installation must expose each directory containing SKILL.md as a flat skill named by its frontmatter.

  3. If suite skills are missing, offer this complete install command. Run it only when the user asks you to install or repair the installation:

    npx skills add sugarforever/boring-video-studio \
      --skill setup-boring-video-skills boring-video develop-topic to-article to-spec-beats to-narration to-scenes to-storyboard to-video record-terminal
    
  4. Confirm that the hyperframes skill is available, then run npx hyperframes doctor. HyperFrames owns production and is a hard dependency for the later stages.

  5. Report optional voice support separately. ListenHub is needed only when the user chooses that voice branch.

Setup is complete only when all required suite names are discoverable, HyperFrames is discoverable, and npx hyperframes doctor passes. Preserve the diagnostic output when a check fails and give the smallest corrective action; do not claim readiness from file presence alone.

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.
