Editing

Route the request to the one skill that owns it, then do the work with that skill. Never edit with your own method: every rule lives in the target skill.

Continue before you start. If this conversation already works on a video (a video-agent/edits/<slug>/ folder, a take just edited, a week of scripts just written), the request is the next step of that project with the skill already in use: apply the change, rerun the step, keep its files, never start it over.
Otherwise read the request and pick the skill:
- No video-agent/ folder yet, first time, tools, voice, permissions, accounts, keys: studio-setup. An edit asked before any setup: run studio-setup first (or at least its tools step).
- Their Instagram stats, "what works on my account", an audit of an account or of their competitors: insta-audit.
- Scripts, ideas for the week, hooks, rewrite, humanize a text, "sounds like AI", what goes viral in their niche, swipe file: studio-script (viral for the niche research).
- Instagram reels that blew up for their competitors or for one account, turned into 5 remake scripts ("outliers", "what works for my competitors", "videos to remake", "ideas from @someone"): outliers.
- A take or a local file, "my last take", a video URL to edit, an existing slug, short, reel, a full YouTube video: short-editing. "In the style of " = short-editing ... style <name>.
- Their B-roll ("add these clips", "my B-roll", "put my B-roll on this short", find a shot, drop a clip): broll (setup, add, use, search, reject).
- Their own look (brand color, paper, font, captions, sound, Instagram CTA, tool logos, logo, end card, "change my style"): studio-setup style.
- Copy another creator's editing style ("steal", "edit like @x", a reel given as the model for a look rather than as the take to edit): steal.
- One long video (a podcast, a live, a long YouTube video) into several shorts: clips.
- A version of a take in another language: short-translate.
- Thumbnails, covers, stills, any image: codex-images.
- A photo into a paper-collage animation (Vox style, "anime cette photo"), or a change to one already made: vox.
- Publish or schedule a finished video ("post it", "publier", "mets-le en ligne"): publish.
- Still ambiguous: ask one question only.
Load the target: invoke it with the Skill tool, else read <skills folder>/<skill>/SKILL.md (the skills installed next to this one) and follow it exactly as if the user had typed /<skill> <args>. Pass their words through as that skill's arguments.

Say in one line which skill you picked, then hand over to it. Its own end state is yours.

Related skills

video-use
Edit any video by conversation. Transcribe, cut, color grade, generate overlay animations, burn subtitles — for talking heads, montages, tutorials, travel, interviews. No presets, no menus. Ask questions, confirm the plan, execute, iterate, persist. Production-correctness rules are hard; everything else is artistic freedom.

short-form-video
This skill should be used when the user asks to "make a Reels/TikTok/YouTube Shorts video", "build a short-form video template", "write a hook for a short", "edit for retention", "add pattern interrupts", "make a video loop", "fix the first 3 seconds", "pace cuts for a vertical video", or "set up 9:16 safe areas". Covers the hook→retention→loop grammar of vertical short-form (distinct from a launch hype film).

short-editing
Edits a talking-head take end to end into a paper-style motion design short (1080x1920, also 1:1 and 16:9) with its own render engine (Node + Chrome + ffmpeg, free, offline). Use when the user says edit, cut, captions, subtitles, motion design, montage, "make it a short", render, or gives a recording from video-agent/takes/. Transcribes locally with word timings (whisper.cpp, or ElevenLabs when a key is set), cuts every silence, lays the boards on a textured paper above the camera card (counters, terminals, logos, trees, real screens, HTML motion components), word-by-word captions, a calm music bed, a few designed hits, -14 LUFS, and writes the mp4, an .srt and the post copy.

studio-script
The scriptwriter of the creator's videos - short-form scripts (YouTube Shorts, TikTok, Instagram Reels, 30 to 60 s) in their own voice from video-agent/voice.md, each on a concept proven by the niche's outliers, with 3 scored hooks from 22 formulas, a re-hook, triggers, offer proximity, quality gates, timing at their pace and visual notes, then a humanize pass (invisible characters, AI words in English and French, AI sentence shapes, facts kept). Modes - the week (default), one topic, a funnel or divisive script, a making-of, hook printer, rewrite, humanize, and viral (what over-performs in their niche, scored against each account's median, YouTube free with yt-dlp, TikTok and Instagram through Treg, into video-agent/swipe.md). Use when the user asks for scripts, ideas, this week's videos, a funnel or divisive (clivant) script, a making-of, a hook, a better hook, to rewrite a script, what goes viral, viral hooks, what works in my niche, competitor research, swipe file, outliers, or to humanize any text (sounds like AI, make it sound like me, a caption before posting).

video
Use this skill whenever the user asks to create, improve, audit, or split prompts for AI video generators (Seedance, Kling, Veo, Runway, Luma, Pika, Sora, any image-to-video system). The skill also covers storyboards, shot lists, director treatments, dynamic montage, multi-clip story structure, camera direction, lighting, blocking, pacing, character continuity, dialogue, and sound design. Trigger even when the user says things like "придумай сцену для видео", "разбей на склейки", "сделай раскадровку", "улучши промпт для Kling", "переведи сценарий в промпты", "как снять X в AI-видео", or shares a prompt and asks to fix it — even if they never say the word "prompt". Do NOT use for still images (use the sibling image skill), for editing, colour-grading or assembling footage that already exists, or for writing feature-length screenplays with no generation step.

studio-setup
Sets up the creator's video editing studio, for shorts and YouTube videos, on their computer and in their project - tools, the video-agent/ folder, the render engine, the creator's voice.md, their default editing style (an onboarding on their colors, paper, fonts, captions, sound, Instagram CTA, real tool logos, logo and end card, with a preview on their own footage), permissions, and the optional accounts (Treg for Instagram, TikTok and YouTube, an ElevenLabs key, Codex). Use when the user says setup, onboarding, install, "start here", configure, connect my account, Treg, first time using studio-script, short-editing, publish or any video skill, or wants to update their voice, niche, CTA, brand color, look, font, captions, sound effects, logo or tool logos (`/studio-setup style`). Checks Node, ffmpeg, yt-dlp and git with install commands for macOS, Windows and Linux, writes voice.md from their own videos or a short interview, pre-approves the tool commands in .claude/settings.json.

clips
Turns one long video (YouTube link, podcast, webinar, livestream, or a local file) into finished vertical shorts. Use when the user says long to short, repurpose, long video to shorts, clips from my video, podcast clips, cut my YouTube video into shorts, or gives a long video link. Finds clips that stand alone (one idea, 20 to 60 seconds), scores them, cuts them and edits each one with short-editing (split-screen paper look, captions, cuts, hook, boards, 1080x1920), and writes new scripts in the studio-script format from the ideas too spread out to clip. Reads YouTube captions and chapters with yt-dlp, or transcribes a local file with the short-editing engine (whisper.cpp, free, offline).

steal
Copies another creator's editing style into a named style that short-editing applies to your own takes. Use when the user says steal, "copy the style of", "edit like @x", "make a style from this reel", "vole le style de", or gives a reel or short as the model for a look. Downloads the reel (yt-dlp, or Treg for Instagram and TikTok), MEASURES the style with ffmpeg instead of eyeballing it (contact sheets, hard cuts per second, a spectrogram for the beat and the sound effects on the cuts, the music level under the voice, the face size and the zooms), writes video-agent/styles/<name>/ (style.json for the engine + STYLE.md), then edits a test video with short-editing and compares it frame by frame with the original.
