animated-loop

animated-loop is a skill for Claude Code from SummerEngine/summer-engine-agent. It costs 90 tokens per session (4,149 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A short video designed to repeat continuously without a visible join between its first and last frames. It can play behind a game title screen, splash screen, or logo.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for looping menu backgrounds, animated logo backdrops, title-screen footage, and ambient game environments.
Why use it?
It prevents the background from visibly restarting or appearing broken while the viewer stays on the screen.

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

animated-loop 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 5d 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.

animated-loop — 5 Second Seamless Background Loop

A loop is the only video format that has to not have a beginning or end. The viewer sees it on the title screen for 30 seconds; if the seam between loop iterations is visible, the whole thing reads as broken. This skill exists to force the constraints that make seams invisible: take the shortest duration available, keep the motion ambient (no narrative, no big camera moves), use the cheap fast model (ltx), and prompt for a composition where the first and last frames are functionally identical.

Duration is not a dial here. summer_generate_video accepts only duration=5 or duration=10; the server coerces every other value to 5. So "drop to 3s to hide the seam" is not an option — 5s is the floor, and the seam has to be won in the prompt and the reference frame instead.

If the user wants a 5s punchy marketing shot, that's video/trailer-shot. If they want a 10s narrative cutscene, that's video/cinematic-cutscene. This skill is the one for video that has to disappear — atmosphere behind a logo, mood behind a menu, ambience behind a splash card.

When to use

  • "Looping background for the title screen."
  • "Animated backdrop behind the logo on the splash."
  • "Menu background — torchlit dungeon, just flicker and motes."
  • "Looping ambient video for the pause screen."
  • "Splash loop — fog over a forest."
  • "Need a video that loops behind the level select."

When NOT to use

  • Marketing shot for a trailer (5-10s with punch) — video/trailer-shot.
  • Narrative cutscene with a beginning and end — video/cinematic-cutscene.
  • Static splash image — generate with 2d-assets/concept-art and use a TextureRect. A still is cheaper, lighter, and never seams.
  • UI element animation (icons, button states) — those are GDScript Tween or sprite sheets, not video.
  • A 10-second shot you want to "loop". That seam will be visible. Either accept a hard cut every 10s (ugly) or generate a 5s clip designed to loop.
