to-narration

to-narration is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sugarforever/boring-video-studio. It costs 29 tokens per session (340 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for turning approved video beats into spoken narration. A beat is one planned piece of a video, such as a point, scene, or transition.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps write production-ready narration, explain terms when first introduced, preserve beat links, fit a target duration, and record unresolved pronunciation or factual questions.
Why use it?
It keeps the script aligned with the approved structure while making the wording easy to hear and leaving room for later visual decisions.

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

to-narration 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.

What it actually says

To narration

Turn BEATS.md into NARRATION.md: a production-ready draft whose wording can still be revised by scene direction and the selected HyperFrames workflow.

Process

  1. Read BEATS.md, its cited sources, and the user's voice conventions. Preserve each beat's job, claim, and handoff.
  2. Write for the ear: one thought per sentence, concrete subjects and verbs, spoken transitions, and terminology explained at first use.
  3. Let visuals carry visible structure, comparison, and transformation. The narration supplies meaning the image cannot communicate alone.
  4. Mark paragraph-to-beat boundaries without adding visual instructions. Put unresolved pronunciation or factual questions in an Open checks section.
  5. Write NARRATION.md:
---
source: BEATS.md
status: draft
target_duration: ...
---

## B01 — Title

<a id="b01-p01"></a>
Spoken paragraph.
  1. Give every paragraph a stable <beat-id>-pNN anchor. Preserve anchors when rewriting that paragraph; assign a new anchor when inserting one.
  2. Read it aloud or estimate at the user's known speaking rate. Revise until every beat fits its budget and the full draft fits the target.

The draft is complete when it is ready for visual planning, every sentence traces to a beat, and no later visual has been prematurely prescribed. The selected HyperFrames workflow owns review timing and the voice-ready narration version after handoff.

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.
