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

unflick-clip-gif 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 3d 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

unflick: clip & GIF extraction

Extract a segment from a video as MP4 or GIF via the clip tool. Needs ffmpeg on PATH (bundled with the Windows AI edition; otherwise install separately).

Tool

clip(start, end, file?, output?, gif?)

  • start, end — seconds (required).
  • file — input path; omit to clip the currently playing file.
  • output — destination path; auto-generated next to the source if omitted.
  • giftrue to export an animated GIF instead of MP4.

Typical flows

  • "Clip the last 10 seconds I just watched"get_status for position, then clip(start=position-10, end=position).
  • "Make a GIF of 0:05–0:08 from intro.mp4"clip(file="intro.mp4", start=5, end=8, gif=true).
unflick clip 5 8 --gif --output meme.gif
unflick clip 90 120 --output highlight.mp4

Guidance

  • Clamp end to the file's duration (from file_info or get_status).
  • GIFs balloon fast — keep ranges short (a few seconds) and warn the user if they ask for a long GIF.
  • Always report the final output path back to the user.

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.
