This skill orchestrates the full pipeline of shortform video creation—transcribing, scoring candidate segments, snapping boundaries to natural audio cuts, rendering animated captions, and exporting platform-optimized files. It helps content creators, podcast repurposers, and social media producers turn one long recording into multiple polished clips for YouTube, TikTok, and Instagram.

Uses shorts
Check the repository for this skill’s setup.
Use the shorts skill with the video at [path/to/video.mp4]. Transcribe it, identify and score candidate short-form segments, and present the candidates for my review. Stop before rendering so I can choose or adjust the segments.
