target-brief-studio

target-brief-studio is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from understudy-ai/understudy. It costs 20 tokens per session (600 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An end-to-end workflow for investigating an unfamiliar target and turning the findings into a brief with images and a draft summary video.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to collect target context, explore an unfamiliar subject, synthesize findings, render brief images, create a summary video, and prepare a review preview.
Why use it?
It coordinates several analysis and content-making stages in one repeatable process. This helps turn raw investigation into a preview-ready delivery package.

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

target-brief-studio 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

target-brief-studio

Goal

Produce a delivery-preview-ready first-pass target brief package.

Inputs

  • targetName
  • analysisFocus

Child Artifacts

  • collect-target-context
  • explore-unfamiliar-target
  • synthesize-brief
  • render-brief-assets
  • compose-summary-video
  • prepare-delivery-preview

Stage Plan

  1. [skill] collect-target-context -> Collect baseline context | inputs: targetName, artifactsRootDir | outputs: target.json, context.md | retry: retry_once
  2. [worker] explore-unfamiliar-target -> Explore the unfamiliar target | inputs: targetName, artifactsRootDir, analysisFocus | outputs: findings.md, highlights.json, limitations.json, worker-summary.json | retry: pause_for_human | budget: maxMinutes=12
  3. [skill] synthesize-brief -> Convert findings into a summary packet | inputs: findings.md, highlights.json, limitations.json, context.md | outputs: summary.json, brief.md | retry: retry_once
  4. [skill] render-brief-assets -> Render the cover and summary-card images | inputs: target.json, summary.json, brief.md | outputs: cover.png, summary-card.png | retry: retry_once
  5. [skill] compose-summary-video -> Render the draft summary video | inputs: cover.png, summary-card.png, screenshots/*, brief.md | outputs: draft.mp4 | retry: retry_once
  6. [skill] prepare-delivery-preview -> Assemble the delivery preview payload | inputs: target.json, brief.md, draft.mp4, cover.png | outputs: delivery/preview.json | retry: retry_once
  7. [approval] delivery-preview -> Wait for human approval before delivery | outputs: approval.state | approval: delivery_preview

Output Contract

  • draft.mp4
  • delivery/preview.json
  • summary.json
  • brief.md

Approval Gates

  • Human review before delivery

Failure Policy

  • Preserve generated artifacts between retries
  • Pause for human review if the exploration worker hits a hard UI block

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.
