What it does

Setup is an agent skill from machina-exm/film-studio-skills. Configure AI film tools when setting up a studio project.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

The repository describes itself as: 7 installable agent skills that run the pipeline behind $2M AI video productions — script to locked, generation-ready shot prompts. Claude Code · Codex · Hermes · OpenCode.

Example prompts

  • “/setup”

Workflow steps

7 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Which image model or models do you use?
  2. How do you access the first image model: app, API key, CLI, or another method?
  3. Repeat the access question separately for each additional image model.
  4. Which video model do you use?
  5. How do you access the video model: app, API key, CLI, or another method?
  6. What clip length do you normally generate within the 10–15 second range?
  7. Which folder should hold the studio project and its generated output?

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 3145173. 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

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are markdown).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Setup loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 16 tokens; SKILL.md has 614 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~16
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

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 614 words (~1,089 tokens).

“Connect the user's existing image and video tools to the project. Store the shared configuration in both project instruction files so every agent reads the same settings.”
