The generation call and its GO: picks the venue (Higgsfield Seedance 2.5, fal Seedance/H3, kie image models) for a video seed or a still, prints the cost line with the refs-gate table and waits for the operator's explicit go, submits through the one gated path, persists the receipt at the moment the venue accepts the job, polls detached, and hands the landed seeds to the operator as clips. Use when a seed, still, extension or upscale is about to be bought, when credits or dollars are being…

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Video Gen & Cost Gate

Every generation call is production: nothing is bought on a test, and nothing is bought without the
operator's explicit **GO** on a cost line — however small the amount. The
call itself goes through ONE gated path per venue, so the refs gate, the cost, the receipt and the
poller cannot be skipped by hand. Three words carry the method: **GO** (the operator's yes to a named
cost, per batch, never standing), **receipt** (the venue's job handle persisted the instant it accepts
the job — billing happens at acceptance, not at fetch), **clip** (a landed seed reaches the operator as
a file path; the pick is theirs).

**What varies.** The venues, prices, modes, caps and the stills model are the established chain's, dated in
[`references/VENUES.md`](references/VENUES.md); the balance sets the batch size (a venue with no balance endpoint records it
as *unreadable* — never 0, never a guess — and the GO's cap is that batch's limit). The GO, the receipt, the one gated path
and the clip handover do not move — `video-production/references/WHAT-VARIES.md` § Generator, venue and native raster.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add konradre/video-production-skills/video-gen-cost-gate@sha256:f2cd25605c2d80f1

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.896b2e2, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
