What it does

Video Plan is an agent skill from MagicCube/agentara. Plan short-form video, vlog, travel, lifestyle, documentary, or cinematic social video scripts by negotiating duration, choosing a story arc and visual style, then splitting the film into timed scenes of 4-15 seconds. Use this skill whenever the user asks for a video plan, short video plan, scene breakdown, montage plan, travel video script, TikTok/Reels/Shorts storyboard, or cinematic short-form narrative, even if they only describe a loose theme or destination.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video scripts and shorts, Storytelling and Video production. It works with TikTok. The repository describes itself as: Your 24/7 personal assistant powered by Claude Code and OpenAI Codex. Multi-channel messaging, long-term memory, skills, task scheduling, session management, and more — all…

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks for a video plan
  • Short video plan
  • Scene breakdown
  • Travel video script

Example prompts

  • “/video-plan”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Estimate the average scene length.
  2. Calculate the approximate scene count.
  3. Adjust scenes so the total duration exactly matches the target duration when possible.
  4. If exact matching is awkward, explain the closest practical total and why.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5621a96. 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

Video Plan loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 120 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,091 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~120
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.6k

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 1,091 words (~2,593 tokens).

“Use this skill to turn a user's short-film idea into a practical, scene-by-scene production plan. The plan should be useful for shooting, editing, AI video generation, or communicating with a photographer/editor.”
