Skill69 starsChanged 5 days agoNo licenceView on GitHub
Break down a reference or viral video clip so it can be remade. Finds every cut and dissolve, times each shot, measures pacing, works out the camera move in each shot (static, pan, tilt, zoom or push in, roll, handheld shake, with speed), finds beats and loudness jumps and checks whether the cuts land on them, and reads on-screen text and speech when the tools are installed. Makes a contact sheet, a timeline strip, breakdown.md with a beat map and a remake plan, and breakdown.json. Also makes side-by-side or stacked comparison videos of a remake against the reference. Use when the user says "break down this video", "reverse engineer this clip", "how was this edited", "shot list from this video", "why does this go viral", "recreate/remake this video", "what camera moves are in this", "do the cuts hit the beat", or "compare my remake with the original".

The file
We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent
7 rules. About 0 are common, 5 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.
≈0
Common · estimate
Many files like this have a rule of this kind.
≈5
Distinctive · estimate
This author's own choices. Worth a look.
2
Very specific
Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.
No licence file, so all rights are reserved — read it at the source. We count its rules but don't quote them. Read them on GitHub.
≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 350,495 skill files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Your trail
Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.
Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.
Now do this for your own.
Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
