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

gif-showcase-maker-vp 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 10d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/make_sequence_gif.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 115 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

GIF Showcase Maker

Purpose

Generate a lightweight GIF from multiple images. The default mode is a simple ordered carousel:

image 1 hold -> fade to image 2 -> image 2 hold -> fade to image 3 -> image 3 hold

Use this skill for README demos, product screenshots, feature introductions, visual changelogs, and quick image-sequence previews.

Dependency

The script requires Pillow:

pip install pillow

Use Python 3.10 or newer.

Do not add heavy video dependencies unless the user asks for MP4/WebP or advanced effects.

Default Behavior

When the user provides image attachments or local image paths, those user-provided images are the required input. Do not replace them with generated placeholder images. Use generated test images only when the user explicitly asks for a reproducible self-test or when no user images are available and the response clearly says it is only a test.

If the user does not specify parameters, use:

order: input/upload order
fps: 12
hold-ms: 900
fade-ms: 450
fit: contain
background: #ffffff
loop: 0
output: showcase.gif

The default output should be written under the current project or a temporary output folder, not into a hardcoded personal path. For this repository layout, prefer writing generated GIFs under the skill folder's output/ directory, for example knowledge-skills/gif-showcase-maker-vp/output/user-showcase.gif.

Workflow

  1. Identify the input image files and preserve the user's order unless they provide an explicit order.
  2. Choose a canvas size:
    • Use --width / --height if provided
    • Otherwise use the first image size
  3. Resize every image into the canvas with fit=contain by default.
  4. Add hold frames for each image.
  5. Add cross-fade transition frames between adjacent images.
  6. Save a looping GIF.
  7. Verify that the output file exists, has multiple frames, expected dimensions, and visible frame changes.
  8. Open the folder that contains the generated GIF in Windows File Explorer so the user can immediately inspect the output file. Prefer opening the skill-internal output/ folder when using this skill in a repository.
  9. Return the GIF path and, when supported, embed the generated GIF with Markdown image syntax in the final answer.

Files

What ships with it

4 files 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.

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.
