What it does

The pair of skills splits the work into environment setup and the edit itself. The first skill checks, installs and repairs the needed tools: video-use, FFmpeg, ffprobe, the subtitle font, an ElevenLabs key and optionally HyperFrames. The second takes your supplied video through eight steps: source check, verbatim transcription, content review, edit strategy, rough cut, color and subtitles, mixdown with a full preview, final QA and export. The source is never overwritten, every new artifact goes into a sibling edit folder. Before any cloud upload or spend, the skill asks for consent.

Who it is for. For creators, social media specialists and editors who cut vertical clips from their own footage through an agent.

Good fit when

  • You need to build a vertical clip from your own video with subtitles
  • You need to set up and verify the editing environment first
  • You want editing with explicit steps and a check before the final

Not a fit when

  • You need generic Premiere Pro or CapCut help
  • You have no source file and want video generated from scratch

Example request

First check my editing environment with the setup skill, install nothing without my consent

Limitations

It needs an agent with local file and terminal access, plus Git, Python, uv, FFmpeg and the full video-use repository. Full transcription precision goes through ElevenLabs Scribe v2, which is cloud, a key and possible spend, and its access from some regions is not guaranteed. A local Whisper fallback exists with lower timestamp precision. The documentation is in traditional Chinese.

FAQ

Why two skills?

One only checks and sets up the environment and never touches the footage, the other cuts the video and never installs tools silently. Setup and editing stay out of each other's way.

Must I upload footage to the cloud?

No. Full precision uses ElevenLabs, but you can explicitly choose local Whisper with lower timestamp precision and extra edge checks.

README in short

The README describes a pair of traditional-Chinese skills for agents with file and terminal access. The setup skill checks and installs video-use, FFmpeg, ffprobe, the subtitle font and an ElevenLabs key, doing nothing silently. The editing skill takes a vertical clip through eight steps from source check to final export, protects the original and collects results in an edit folder. It stresses consent before uploads and spend, verification against real output, and that previews and commands are not a finished result. Install is through the open skills CLI.

description: "Edit a user-supplied video into a vertical Reel, Short, TikTok, video diary short, or an approved eight-step AI short-video workflow. Use when the user provides or points to media and asks to transcribe, cut, subtitle, preview, or export a vertical short. Do not use for environment-only setup or generic Premiere Pro or CapCut help."

# ChatGPT Short-video Editor

Create a safe, evidence-backed vertical short from user-provided media. This
Skill starts only when a source file or clear source location is available.

## Boundary and prerequisites

1. Inspect the source with ffprobe; never overwrite, move, rename, or delete
   it. Put every new artifact beside the source in <source-directory>/edit/.
2. Check that the installed video-use workflow, FFmpeg, ffprobe, and
   ElevenLabs Scribe v2 are available for the documented full-precision path.
   Do not install, clone, update, or repair anything silently.
3. Before the first upload of a source file to ElevenLabs, name the file, say it
   is for ElevenLabs Scribe v2 transcription, mention possible quota or cost,
   and wait for explicit consent.
