OpenChatCut skills

Plan AI short films with story, shots, prompts, and continuity.

Create finished explainer videos from a topic, script, outline, voiceover, product logic, data, technical concept, course material, or reference assets. Use when the user wants narration, motion graphics, stock footage, generated visuals, or mixed visuals to explain an idea.

Use when a OpenChatCut video editing or creation workflow needs export, render, download, share, final delivery, subtitle-file export, render choice, local-only asset handling, or export fallback explanation.

AI image generation via gpt-image-2, nano-banana, MiniMax image-01, and xAI Grok Imagine. Use when the user wants to generate or create an image / picture / still.

Music generation via Mureka, MiniMax, Atlas Cloud, and Sonilo. Use for instrumentals, songs, soundtracks, track/stem generation, covers, or video-conditioned scoring of the finished cut through `submit_music`.

Run or inspect local music analysis and plan or apply beat-, downbeat-, or section-synced video cuts or photo placements. Use for BGM beat edits, rhythm cuts, 卡点剪辑, musical structure, BPM, mood, genre, or instrument questions.

Cut one long podcast, interview, course, livestream, or other source video into social-ready shorts, reels, highlights, or clip timelines from existing project media. Use when the user asks to cut a long video into Shorts, Reels, TikToks, Xiaohongshu posts, best moments, highlights, or multiple clips.

Turn a product into ad angles, hooks, scenes, and CTA.

AI shader generator for WebGL video effects, transitions, masks, and color grading (LUT / 调色 / 电影感 / film look). Use when the user wants a video effect (滤镜 / 特效), a transition (转场 / crossfade / wipe / cube / 3d), a mask (蒙版 / 遮罩 / reveal), a zoom / push-in (推近 / 推镜头), or a color grade — try the built-in effects (zoom, builtin LUTs) before generating a new shader.

Break down each shot and turn the analysis into a storyboard reference. Use when the user wants shot-by-shot film analysis, director logic, cinematography breakdown, or a storyboard-style reference from a video.

Use when checking whether agent edits are reflected in the OpenChatCut project and editor.

Create platform-ready thumbnails from real video frames. Use when the user wants a thumbnail, cover image, YouTube cover, Shorts cover, Bilibili cover, Xiaohongshu cover, or other video poster image.

Use when the agent should ask the user for structured input with an in-chat form, including single-select, multi-select, text fields, style pickers, or voice audition choices.

Connect an MCP-capable coding agent to OpenChatCut and edit local video projects. Use when the user asks to install, connect, or set up OpenChatCut; inspect or edit an OpenChatCut project; work with its timeline, transcript, captions, media, generation, motion graphics, audio, color, or export tools; or recover from an OpenChatCut MCP error.

Use when acquiring or importing media into a OpenChatCut project asset library for video editing or creation, including local/attached videos, user-provided paths, public media URLs, web video/audio/image assets, upload fallback decisions, and deciding between import_media, download_media, or manual user action.

Use whenever the agent needs to add, create, hand-author, patch, or place Motion Graphic JSX assets in a OpenChatCut project. This is the direct-authoring path: use create_motion_graphic_from_code / edit_asset / edit_item, not motion-graphic-gen or submit_motion_graphic. Covers project/timeline intake, project visual language, editable properties, asset binding, inline JSX authoring, existing asset updates, timeline placement, and verification.

Use when a OpenChatCut tool call fails or returns an unexpected shape.

Cut an imported livestream recording of any genre into evidence-backed, platform-ready clips by combining transcript, visual, audio, interaction, and domain-specific signals. Use for commerce, gaming, talk, interview, education, entertainment, sports, music, IRL, creative, news, or mixed livestream recordings.

Add motion graphics at the right moments without blocking the story. Use when the user wants to enhance talking-head, lecture, tutorial, interview, podcast, or creator videos with motion graphics.

Turn multiple product shots, event footage, travel clips, gameplay moments, UGC/product footage, B-roll, or mixed media into social-ready reels, highlights, recaps, or montage-style short videos from existing project media.

新闻素材智能粗剪——把新闻素材粗剪为一条内容完整、逻辑清晰、节奏紧凑的新闻短视频。Use when the user asks to 粗剪新闻、新闻剪辑、把新闻素材剪成短视频、智能粗剪、news rough cut、编辑新闻视频, or provides news footage (发布会/采访/现场/监控素材) to be cut into a factual news short. Never add music, voiceover, or sound effects.

Use for video editing or video creation work that should be editable in OpenChatCut, even when the user does not explicitly mention OpenChatCut. Covers local/attached video editing, captions/subtitles, transcription, trimming, talking-head cleanup, highlights, B-roll, overlays, generation, export, project/editor opening, importing, targeting, verifying, watching, and identifying the active OpenChatCut project/editor URL.

OpenChatCut product knowledge — UI layout, editor features, and how generation providers are configured. Use when the user asks about the product interface, how to use a feature, where to find something, or needs GUI guidance for something the agent cannot do directly. Also use as fallback when a task fails and the user needs to complete it manually in the UI. NOT for live project-state queries ("where are my folders?", "what's on my timeline?", "where is clip X?") — those are answered by `read_project`, not by this skill.

Create or improve OpenChatCut custom skills. Use whenever the user asks to create a skill, capture a workflow as a skill, write a SKILL.md, add a reusable workflow, 创建技能, 把流程做成技能, 写一个技能, or improve an existing custom skill. Pushy: treat any workflow the user repeats as a skill candidate, even if they do not say "skill".
