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

licensing-brief-writer 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.

Licensing Brief Writer

What This Skill Does

Writes a brief summarising the licensing requirements for using a specific piece of music, archive footage, photograph, or other third-party content in a media project — including what licences are needed, who to approach, and what terms to request.

When To Use This Skill

  • You want to use a specific piece of content in a project and need to understand what licences you need before approaching rights holders
  • You need to brief a music supervisor or clearance agent so they can begin the licensing process
  • A rights holder has asked you to set out your licensing request in writing before they can quote you
  • You need to explain a licensing situation to a producer, director, or broadcaster who is not familiar with rights clearance

What You Need To Provide

Required: Description of the content (e.g., "a 1967 recording of a jazz standard by a named artist," "30 seconds of archive news footage from the 1990s," "a photograph taken in 1958 by an identified photographer"), your intended use (what the content will be used for and how prominently), and your distribution plan.

Optional: The rights holder or archive you believe owns or controls the content, any existing relationship with the rights holder, your budget range for the licence, whether you need in-perpetuity rights or a fixed term, the territories required.

How the Assistant Approaches This

  1. Identifies the type(s) of licence needed based on the content and use — distinguishing between the layers of rights that may apply (e.g., sync licence and master licence for a music recording, or archive footage licence vs underlying rights in footage)
  2. Identifies who holds or likely holds the relevant rights and how to locate and approach them, noting any complexity (split rights, contested ownership, archive vs original rights holder)
  3. Drafts a licensing request summary — the key terms to request and a note on what terms are standard versus what requires negotiation — and flags any scenarios where specialist legal advice is needed before approaching rights holders
  4. Closes with a "Next Step" note: which rights holder to contact first, whether a music supervisor or clearance agent should be engaged instead of direct contact, and whether rights-clearance-checklist should be run to check for any other items in the same project that still need clearing
