What it does
The `jianchuang-jianying-assistant` skill drives drafts of the Jianying video editor (CapCut in its international edition) in natural language. The agent assembles a draft from images, video, captions, audio, stickers, effects, filters, masks and keyframes, tunes face, body and makeup beautification, uploads local media to object storage and exports the finished video asynchronously. The draft can be downloaded and installed into the local drafts folder for manual finishing. By default the skill calls the hosted interface `https://capcut-mate.jcaigc.cn`, built on the open CapCut Mate project, which you can self-host. The scripts need only Node.js and no other packages. It works in Codex, Claude Code, Claude and WorkBuddy.
Who it is for. Short video authors and marketers on Jianying and CapCut who want an agent to assemble and batch-produce clips.
Good fit when
- A draft with captions and music must be assembled from a dozen photos and videos.
- A batch of similar clips must be made from a template.
- A finished draft must land in the Jianying folder for manual finishing.
- You need a video export without opening the editor.
Not a fit when
- Materials must not go to an external service: by default they are sent to the hosted interface.
- You need editing with precise manual frame work.
- Node.js 18 or newer is unavailable.
Example request
Build a Jianying draft from these five photos, add captions and music and export the video.Limitations
Node.js 18 or newer and Codex CLI or Claude Code are required. Creating and editing are free, while in the hosted version export costs 0.3 yuan per minute and uploading media 0.0005 yuan per megabyte. Installing a draft locally requires running scripts on that machine, so this operation is unavailable in the Claude web version. The skill directory must be named `jianchuang-jianying-assistant` exactly matching its `name` field. Description and documentation are in Chinese.
How to disable. Delete the `~/.claude/skills/jianchuang-jianying-assistant` directory (or `~/.agents/skills/jianchuang-jianying-assistant` for Codex).
FAQ
How do I install the skill in Claude Code?
Run `git clone https://github.com/Hommy-master/capcut-mate-skill.git ~/.claude/skills/jianchuang-jianying-assistant`. Then call `/jianchuang-jianying-assistant` or describe the editing task. If the skills directory was created in this session, restart Claude Code.
How much does it cost?
Creating and editing drafts is free. In the hosted version export costs 0.3 yuan per minute and uploading media 0.0005 yuan per megabyte.
Can I self-host the backend?
Yes, it is based on the open CapCut Mate project under Apache-2.0. The skill itself is MIT-licensed.
How do I use it in Codex?
Clone the repository into `~/.agents/skills/jianchuang-jianying-assistant` and enter `$jianchuang-jianying-assistant`. If it does not appear, restart Codex.
Does it work in the Claude web version?
Yes for creating and exporting: zip the directory and upload it through Customize, Skills. Installing a draft locally runs scripts, so Codex or Claude Code is needed.
