When your agent uses it

  • Repairing the Boring Video planning skill set before its first use

Example prompts

  • “/setup-boring-video-skills”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Inspect the available skills and compare them with the required suite above.
  2. Report missing or duplicate skill names. A grouped source path is valid: installation must expose each directory containing SKILL.md as a…
  3. If suite skills are missing, offer this complete install command. Run it only when the user asks you to install or repair the installation
  4. Confirm that the hyperframes skill is available, then run npx hyperframes doctor. HyperFrames owns production and is a hard dependency for…
  5. Report optional voice support separately. ListenHub is needed only when the user chooses that voice branch.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f3445d6. 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

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    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 Boring Video Skills loads about 449 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 32 tokens; SKILL.md has 188 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~32
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~449

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.

Setup Boring Video skills

Verify that the complete planning suite and its production dependency are available. This skill validates the toolchain; it does not create a video project.

Required suite

The following skills must be discoverable by name:

text
boring-video
artifact-preview
develop-topic
to-article
to-spec-beats
to-narration
to-scenes
to-storyboard
to-video
record-terminal
setup-boring-video-skills

Setup

  1. Inspect the available skills and compare them with the required suite above.

  2. Report missing or duplicate skill names. A grouped source path is valid: installation must expose each directory containing SKILL.md as a flat skill named by its frontmatter.

  3. If suite skills are missing, offer this complete install command. Run it only when the user asks you to install or repair the installation:

    bash
    npx skills add sugarforever/boring-video-studio \
      --skill setup-boring-video-skills boring-video artifact-preview develop-topic to-article to-spec-beats to-narration to-scenes to-storyboard to-video record-terminal
  4. Confirm that the hyperframes skill is available, then run npx hyperframes doctor. HyperFrames owns production and is a hard dependency for the later stages.

  5. Report optional voice support separately. ListenHub is needed only when the user chooses that voice branch.

Setup is complete only when all required suite names are discoverable, HyperFrames is discoverable, and npx hyperframes doctor passes. Preserve the diagnostic output when a check fails and give the smallest corrective action; do not claim readiness from file presence alone.
