What it does
In the author's own words, from each skill's SKILL.md.
-
cut-mistakes
Agent 2 of the video editing pipeline. Finds and removes spoken mistakes — stutters, repeated words, false starts, and retakes (re-recorded lines) — from a talking-head recording. Use after cut-silences, when asked to cut mistakes, remove stutters / repeats / filler restarts, clean up flubs, or keep the best take. Works review-gated: it proposes every cut with context and a reason for approval, t…

cut-silences
Agent 1 of the video editing pipeline. Removes silences and dead air from a talking-head recording. Use when asked to cut silences, trim pauses, remove dead air / gaps, or tighten the pacing of a raw video, given a word-level transcript. Produces an edit list (EDL), a re-timed transcript for downstream agents, and optionally the cut video via ffmpeg. Does NOT cut mistakes, repeats, or false start…

edit-video
Edit a raw talking-head video through transcription, silence trimming, mistake review, visual storytelling, motion graphics, and verified HyperFrames rendering. Use for a complete edit; route a single requested operation directly to its specialist skill.

gsap
GSAP animation reference for HyperFrames. Covers gsap.to(), from(), fromTo(), easing, stagger, defaults, timelines (gsap.timeline(), position parameter, labels, nesting, playback), and performance (transforms, will-change, quickTo). Use when writing GSAP animations in HyperFrames compositions.

hyperframes-video-beats
Plan, write, time, style, and validate motion-graphic beats for long-form talking-head HyperFrames videos. Use when Codex is asked to add or improve visual beats, glassmorphism lower thirds, crumpled-paper full-screen takeovers, transcript-synced callouts, pacing coverage, YouTube retention graphics, or render-ready overlays in an existing HyperFrames video project.

hyperframes
Create video compositions, animations, title cards, overlays, captions, voiceovers, audio-reactive visuals, and scene transitions in HyperFrames HTML. Use when asked to build any HTML-based video content, add captions or subtitles synced to audio, generate text-to-speech narration, create audio-reactive animation (beat sync, glow, pulse driven by music), add animated text highlighting (marker swe…

make-a-video
Beginner-friendly end-to-end video creator for HyperFrames. Use when the user says "make a video", "create a video", "new video", "build a video", "video from scratch", "I want to make a video", "help me create a video", or when someone who's never used HyperFrames before arrives with a concept, script, or rough idea and wants a finished MP4. Interviews the user in one pass, then builds the full…

motion-showreel
Design and build a 10-30 second motion-design showreel or brand reel in the style of Nate's Opus 5.5 "CLAUDE / MOTION REEL": one brand motif transformed through labeled craft chapters, a persistent HUD, cuts locked to a 120-130 BPM grid, a sub-second flurry, and a held logo lockup that answers the opening. Use when asked for a showreel, sizzle reel, brand reel, motion reel, "a reel like the Opus…

short-form-edit
Turn talking-head footage into a finished reel, YouTube Short, or short advertisement with curiosity-led openings, earned payoffs, story-driven cuts, transcript-synced motion graphics, moving B-roll, captions, subtle music, and synchronized sound effects. Use for short-form editing; use edit-video for long-form videos and cut-silences for pause removal alone.

short-form-video
Maintain the existing May Shorts teaching compositions using their legacy face-mode, scene-overlay, and karaoke-caption patterns. Use only when working on those examples or explicitly requesting this legacy scaffold. For new reels, Shorts, or short advertisements, use short-form-edit.

video-storytelling
Design and build the visual layer of a long-form talking-head video as one persistent world the camera moves through, instead of a sequence of separate graphics. Use when asked to edit a video, add motion graphics, design the visuals for a script, plan an edit, or fix an edit judged confusing, text-heavy, hard to follow, or "clearly made by an AI". Covers the persistent world, camera grammar, the…
