When your agent uses it

  • : improving video quality
  • Getting consistent results
  • Professional video prompts

Example prompts

  • “/video-prompting-guide”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash(belt *)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 50f7fc9. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash(belt *)

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • inference.sh
    • cloud.inference.sh
    • raw.githubusercontent.com

    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 Prompting Guide loads about 2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 155 tokens; SKILL.md has 416 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~155
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k

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 416 words (~1,959 tokens).
