whiteboard-video is a skill for Codex from zkbys/whiteboard. It costs 96 tokens per session (1,652 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for creating a complete 30–60 second AI whiteboard explainer video from a topic, viewpoint, or rough script. It produces editable project files, a preview video, and checks for timing, camera, and action quality.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make short whiteboard infographic explainers, including their narration, boards, animation instructions, preview video, and review outputs.
Why use it?
It lets you start with an idea or draft instead of preparing every production file yourself. The generated project can be reviewed and edited before final use.

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

whiteboard-video 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/doctor.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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Whiteboard Video

Turn the user's topic or rough script into a reviewable whiteboard-video project. Treat this Skill as the only public entrypoint. Use B, C, Creator, D, E, and the orchestrator from the bundled runtime/ as internal implementation modules.

Resolve the installation

  1. Treat the directory containing this SKILL.md as SKILL_ROOT.
  2. Read SKILL_ROOT/installation.json when present.
  3. Resolve the bundled runtime as SKILL_ROOT/runtime/ for an installed copy. In a source checkout, resolve the repository root two directories above SKILL_ROOT.
  4. Run the deterministic environment check before the first video in a session:
python3 <SKILL_ROOT>/scripts/doctor.py --json --output-dir <OUTPUT_PARENT>

Report the install, render, output, and image statuses separately. Do not treat interactive image handoff as an installation failure.

Start from natural language

Accept a topic, viewpoint, or rough script directly. Do not require the user to create an input file. If the user gives a range such as 30-60 seconds, target about 45 seconds while keeping the final result inside the requested range.

Default the output parent to the user's current working directory, not the managed Skill installation. Create:

<current-working-directory>/whiteboard-runs/YYYYMMDD-HHMMSS-<topic-slug>/

Write the original request to topic_input.txt inside that project directory.

Use a lowercase ASCII topic-slug with letters, digits, and hyphens. Fall back to whiteboard-video when the topic cannot be represented safely. If the path already exists, append -2, -3, and so on; never overwrite an earlier run implicitly.

Execute the internal pipeline

Read these bundled internal instructions before executing their stage. Installed packages name each internal entry INTERNAL_SKILL.md so Agent discovery exposes only whiteboard-video; source checkouts use SKILL.md in the same module directory.

  1. runtime/ip-cognition-script-polisher/INTERNAL_SKILL.md
  2. runtime/ip-hand-drawn-infographic-planner/INTERNAL_SKILL.md
  3. runtime/hand-drawn-infographic-creator/INTERNAL_SKILL.md
  4. runtime/hand-drawn-infographic-video-board/INTERNAL_SKILL.md
  5. runtime/whiteboard-infographic-video-renderer/INTERNAL_SKILL.md
  6. runtime/whiteboard-infographic-pipeline-orchestrator/INTERNAL_SKILL.md

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.
