SkillSpector: 2 findings, up to high
These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00043 | $0.00825 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00022 | $0.00413 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00165 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00004 | $0.00082 |
Grade A, and why
varg-video-generation 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 9d 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.

Video Generation with varg React Engine
Overview
This rule helps you generate AI videos using the varg SDK's React engine. It provides:
- Declarative JSX syntax for video composition
- Automatic caching (same props = instant cache hit)
- Parallel generation where possible
- Support for images, video, music, voice, and captions
Step 1: Onboarding (REQUIRED for new users)
Before generating videos, ensure the user has the required API keys configured.
Check Current Setup
Run this command to check existing configuration:
cat .env 2>/dev/null | grep -E "^(FAL_KEY|ELEVENLABS_API_KEY|REPLICATE_API_TOKEN|GROQ_API_KEY)=" || echo "No API keys found in .env"
Required: FAL_KEY
This is the minimum requirement for video generation.
| Detail | Value |
|---|---|
| Provider | Fal.ai |
| Get it | https://fal.ai/dashboard/keys |
| Free tier | Yes (limited credits) |
| Used for | Image generation (Flux), Video generation (Wan 2.5, Kling) |
If user doesn't have FAL_KEY:
- Direct them to https://fal.ai/dashboard/keys
- They need to create an account and generate an API key
- Add to
.envfile in project root
Optional Keys (warn if missing, but continue)
| Feature | Required Key | Provider | Get It |
|---|---|---|---|
| Music generation | ELEVENLABS_API_KEY |
ElevenLabs | https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys |
| Voice/Speech | ELEVENLABS_API_KEY |
ElevenLabs | https://elevenlabs.io/app/settings/api-keys |
| Lipsync | REPLICATE_API_TOKEN |
Replicate | https://replicate.com/account/api-tokens |
| Transcription | GROQ_API_KEY |
Groq | https://console.groq.com/keys |
When keys are missing, inform user what features are unavailable.

What ships with it
1 file beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.
- 9d ago First seen · 98 lines · 43 tokens per session scan A 450a02f18f95
varg-video-generation is a skill published in the GitHub repository vargHQ/sdk (337 stars, last pushed 8d ago), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 43 tokens to every session and 825 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
