nateherkaiSkillcut-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, then renders only the approved cuts via ffmpeg. Requires a word-level transcript.

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 starts — that is the cut-mistakes agent.

How matches are found. Word for word: the exact same text. Edited: shares passages with this file (“99% same” means 99% of its five-word phrases also appear here; 10% or more counts). Their own version: similar meaning, or, weakest, the same name. We can’t tell which project had it first. Projects are counted among the 200 most-starred candidates, and mentions are links to the repository we found, up to 50 per site, so both counts are a floor.

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
5 rules. 0 are common, 3 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
0
Common
Most of the 11 edited versions we read keep these.
3
Distinctive
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
- Common
- Distinctive
- Very specific
- Very specific: line 28
Film: Stop at the quote. Then wait_for_job until it is done, saying the stage and the count it reports.
- Distinctive: line 34
Post: Always stop, even if the person said "post it" earlier: show the accounts, the caption and the time in the person's time zone and in …
- Distinctive: line 46
Never start a second film without the person choosing it.
- Distinctive: line 47
Never paste base64: give links.
- Very specific: line 51
Never pick a voice for the person, and when post_intent.confirm_with_person is true, ask its question before going on.
“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 11 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.
Files
<!-- Generated from plugins/cast-studio/src/skills/make-a-video.md in the AI Cast Studio repo by `pnpm plugin`. Edit the source, not this copy. -->Make a video
Goal: a finished video the person likes, posted or scheduled when they say so.
The order and the rules live on the server: its instructions, each tool's description, and the
next on every result. Follow next unless the person asked for something else.
The flow and its stop points
make_video runs the whole flow one step at a time for a video_id and stops at each point below
with a choice. The step tools are there when the person wants control: write_script, plan_shots,
film, fix_shot, finish_video, set_video_state, post_video.
- Idea → Script (free). The script is written in the background: the start answers at once
with
video_idand a job.wait_for_job, thenmake_videowith thatvideo_id. If the host times out, call the same start again: it answers the same video, never a second one. Show the hook, the lines and the length against what was asked. Stop: keep it, change a line, or rewrite with a note. - Shots. Drawing a frame for each shot costs credits. Stop at the quote.
- Frames. Show the frame links. Stop: film it, change a shot, or stop here.
- Film. Stop at the quote. Then
wait_for_jobuntil it is done, saying the stage and the count it reports. A film is a few calls, not dozens. - Watch. Give the watch link, when it expires, and that anyone with the link can watch. Stop: Done, fix a shot, or Finish touches.
- Finish: captions, text on screen, end card, music. Fixing a shot is paid and quoted.
- Done locks the video and makes its 1080p file. Say so before you do it.
- Post. Always stop, even if the person said "post it" earlier: show the accounts, the caption and the time in the person's time zone and in her city's. If posts wait for the person's OK, say where to approve them.
At a quote
A tool that spends answers needs_confirmation with a quote. Say the credits, the dollars and the
balance after, in those words, and ask. Only after a yes, call the same tool again with the same
arguments plus quote_id. No yes, no quote_id.
Never
- Never start a second film without the person choosing it.
- Never paste base64: give links. Download the person's finished video only when they ask you to review or analyse it, and only for that.
- On an error, say its message as written and offer its
next. When it listsalso, tell the person all of it at once. - Never pick a voice for the person, and when
post_intent.confirm_with_personis true, ask itsquestionbefore going on.
