Tokens, turns and time describe resource use, not a dollar price.
One of 8 test cases the skill fixed. Same model, same prompt, with and without the skill.
We want to fetch 5 stock photos of office desks and download the media files directly into `/tmp/desk_photos`. What exact command parameter defines the destination output directory?
| Checked | Without skill | With skill |
|---|---|---|
| Specify "--out" as the command parameter for defining the destination directory. | Missed | Passed |
The instructions your model reads when the skill loads.
Use when a task needs a REAL or ARCHIVAL photo / clip (hero, texture, reference, historical footage) or a reaction / animated GIF, rather than a generated one — fan out across free image/video/GIF sources in one query and download license-tagged results.

Query many free image/video sources in one fan-out, get a normalized result list, optionally download top-K with an attribution sidecar. Zero-dep stdlib script.
Script: webmedia.py (in this dir). Keys: PEXELS_API_KEY, PIXABAY_API_KEY
in central/.env (optional — the 5 no-key sources work without them).

| wikimedia | none | factual / historical / landmark photos | image |
| internetarchive | none | historical/archival images + films | image, video |

GIF sources fire only with --type gif. Keys: KLIPY_API_KEY, GIPHY_API_KEY
in central/.env. (tenor adapter removed — Google EOL'd the API 2026-06-30.)
klipy is the one to get (free + unlimited);
its adapter is unverified — assumes Tenor-compatible request/response;
verify against docs.klipy.com when you key it. webmedia.py "shrug" --type gif --count 6 --json
webmedia.py "1950s street scene" --type image --count 8 --json
webmedia.py "rocket launch" --type video --source nasa,internetarchive
