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

cinematic-cutscene 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 8d 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.

cinematic-cutscene — Locked-Look Story Beat in 5-10 Seconds

A cutscene is a non-interactive video clip the game plays back at a fixed moment — opening, story beat, character intro, ending. Quality is dominated by two things: continuity (the character on screen looks like the character in the game) and shot length (every clip past 10s drifts in identity, hands, and physics). This skill enforces both — generate a reference image first to lock the look, then image-to-video each shot, then chain shots in sequence rather than asking the model for one long take.

If the user wants 5 seconds of marketing footage, that's video/trailer-shot. If they want a 3-second seamless background loop, that's video/animated-loop. This skill is for narrative beats with a defined start, middle, and end — usually with dialogue or VO.

When to use

  • "Generate the opening cinematic for the game."
  • "I need a cutscene where the witch turns to the player and warns them about the curse."
  • "Make a 10-second character intro for the boss."
  • "Add an ending sequence after the player defeats the dragon."
  • "Cinematic where the village burns and the protagonist runs."
  • The user has a defined moment with story content — not a vibe loop, not a marketing splash.

When NOT to use

  • "5-second slow-mo combat shot for the trailer" — video/trailer-shot.
  • "Looping splash screen background" — video/animated-loop.
  • "Animated logo backdrop on the title screen" — video/animated-loop.
  • Real-time in-engine cinematic with the actual gameplay characters and camera — that's a Godot AnimationPlayer / Timeline job, not generated video. Route to summer:scene-composition.
  • Voice-only narration over a static image — generate the dialogue with summer_generate_audio and use a static TextureRect, no video needed.
