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

sora 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.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/sora.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

Sora Video Generation Skill

Creates or manages short video clips for the current project (product demos, marketing spots, cinematic shots, UI mocks). Defaults to sora-2 and a structured prompt augmentation workflow, and prefers the bundled CLI for deterministic runs. Note: $sora is a skill tag in prompts, not a shell command.

When to use

  • Generate a new video clip from a prompt
  • Remix an existing video by ID
  • Poll status, list jobs, or download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet)
  • Batch runs (many prompts or variants)

Decision tree (create vs remix vs status/download vs batch)

  • If the user has a video id and wants a change → remix
  • If the user has a video id and wants status or assets → status/poll/download
  • If the user needs many prompts/assets → create-batch
  • If the user asks for two versions with a small change (same shot, different subject/detail) → create the base, then remix for the variation
  • Otherwise → create (or create-and-poll if they need a ready asset in one step)

Workflow

  1. Decide intent: create vs remix vs status/download vs batch.
  2. Collect inputs: prompt, model, size, seconds, and any input reference image.
  3. If batch: write a temporary JSONL under tmp/ (one job per line), run once, then delete the JSONL.
  4. Prefer CLI augmentation flags (--use-case, --scene, --camera, etc.) instead of pre-writing a structured prompt. If you already produced a structured prompt file, pass --no-augment to avoid double-wrapping.
  5. Run the bundled CLI (${SELENE_SKILL_ROOT}/scripts/sora.py) with sensible defaults (see ${SELENE_SKILL_ROOT}/references/cli.md). For long prompts, prefer --prompt-file to avoid shell-escaping issues; pair with --no-augment if the prompt is already structured.
  6. For async jobs, poll until complete (or use create-and-poll).
  7. Download assets (video/thumbnail/spritesheet) and save locally.
  8. Remove intermediate files created during invocation (for example prompt.txt, remix_job.json, temp JSONL). If the sandbox blocks rm, skip cleanup or truncate the files without surfacing an error.
  9. Iterate with a single targeted change per prompt.

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.
