What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 140e866. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
Ships script files (Python and Shell, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- ffmpeg
- curl
- python3
- apt-get
- brew
- ffprobe
- claude
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
- dansugc.com
- generativelanguage.googleapis.com
- cufonfonts.com
- aistudio.google.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
- GEMINI_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Reelclaw loads about 8.2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~23k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 85 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,487 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~85
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~8.2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~23k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

NoteRuns commands with sudoSKILL.md:83

sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install -y ffmpeg

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,487 words (~8,243 tokens).
