Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/melvynx/video-agent-skills --skill editing- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads editing automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
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: runstudio-setupfirst (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(viralfor 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 <name>" =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.
- No
- 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.

short-editing
melvynx/video-agent-skills
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
melvynx/video-agent-skills
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

clips
melvynx/video-agent-skills
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).
