What is vid-product-launch?

A video-making skill that turns a product description and launch details into a cinematic MP4 announcement. It builds a five-part story from tease to call to action and renders it from animated web pages.

Use it to create 30-, 60-, or 90-second product launch videos with a chosen tone, product reveal, proof point, and call to action.

It removes the need to manually plan the launch video's narrative, animations, and video assembly. The required tagline, reveal, and proof point keep the announcement structured.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00107	$0.09721
Opus 5.5	$0.00043	$0.03888
Sonnet 5.5	$0.00021	$0.01944
Haiku 4.5	$0.00011	$0.00972

Security

Grade A, and why

vid-product-launch 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 27d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/capture-frames.mjs, scripts/export-video.sh), 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 713 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

vid-product-launch

Generates a narrative MP4 product launch video from a product description and launch context. Pipeline: HTML/CSS animations → headless Chromium (Playwright, frame-by-frame) → FFmpeg (H.264 MP4). No React. No AI video APIs. No Python. Zero runtime cost beyond Playwright + FFmpeg.

Critical Rules (read before every generation)

The tagline is not optional. Do not skip it. It is the product's entire promise in 4–6 words. If the user did not provide it, derive one from the description — a sharp, active-voice distillation. Never write "[tagline here]" or leave it blank.
The reveal moment must feel earned. The tease and build sections exist to create tension. If the product name appears in the first 20% of the video, the narrative collapses. Never reveal the product name before the Reveal section.
product_name font size: minimum 120px for 16:9, minimum 80px for 9:16. The name must be the largest element at the reveal moment. If it isn't dominant, the reveal fails.
One proof stat. Not a list. If the user provides multiple stats, pick the strongest one. A list of 5 numbers destroys the punch. One oversized number creates it.
Use window.renderFrame(t) — no CSS @keyframes for scene transitions. CSS currentTime seeking is silently ignored for backward seeks in Chromium. The renderFrame function computes element styles directly from milliseconds. Playwright calls it once per frame.
No animation-delay on ANY element. Not needed with renderFrame. If you write animation-delay, stop — you are using the wrong architecture.
window.__videoReady = true only inside document.fonts.ready.then(...). Never set synchronously.
Expose window.__stopPreview(). The rAF preview loop races with Playwright's evaluate/screenshot calls. The capture script calls __stopPreview() before the frame loop.
Use t < startMs (not t <= startMs) in scene boundary checks. t <= 0 at frame 0 makes scene 1 black.

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.
