Creator Video Trimmer

Trim videos down to the useful part for creators, ecommerce teams, and operators who need shorter, cleaner clips fast. Use when a video has dead air, unneces...

Security Scan

The skill is an instruction-only helper that describes how to pick trim ranges for videos and does not request credentials, install software, or perform unexpected actions.

Purpose & Capability

Name/description match the instructions: the SKILL.md describes selecting trim ranges and outputting a rationale. However the skill does not declare any runtime tools (e.g., ffmpeg or an editor) or required binaries; that omission is worth noting because applying trims in practice usually requires a video tool or service.

Instruction Scope

The instructions are narrowly scoped to identifying what to keep/remove, producing a trim range, rationale, and checklist for remaining edits. They do not ask the agent to read unrelated files, access environment variables, call external endpoints, or exfiltrate data.

Install Mechanism

No install spec or code files are included (instruction-only), so nothing will be written to disk or fetched during install.

Credentials

No environment variables, credentials, or config paths are requested. The skill's needs are minimal and proportionate to its stated purpose.

Persistence & Privilege

always is false and autonomous invocation is allowed by default; this is normal. The skill does not request elevated or persistent privileges.

Assessment

This is an instruction-only skill that just tells an agent how to choose trim ranges and produce a short report — it doesn't contain code or request secrets. Before using it, confirm how the agent will apply the trims in practice: you (or the agent) will need access to the source video file and a trimming tool (for example, ffmpeg or a video editor); the skill does not declare or install such tools. Ensure the agent/process that uses this skill has only the minimal file access you expect (so it can read the video but not broader directories), and confirm whether trimmed clips will be stored locally or uploaded anywhere — the SKILL.md does not specify external uploads. If you require automated trimming (not just decisions/ranges), check the runtime environment for an appropriate video tool and verify its invocation behavior before proceeding.

Video Trimmer

Cut away the boring or unnecessary parts and keep the useful segment.

Problem it solves

Teams often have a usable video buried inside a longer file: dead air, rambling intros, setup delay, awkward endings, or one important moment hidden in a longer recording. This skill isolates the useful section quickly and cleanly.

Use when

• A video has slow intros, long pauses, dead air, or trailing filler
• A team only wants the key product demo, quote, answer, or proof segment
• A long clip needs to become a reviewable, usable excerpt

Do not use when

• The user needs full creative editing across multiple scenes
• The main problem is resizing, not shortening
• The clip requires script-level restructuring instead of simple trim logic

Inputs

• Source video file
• Desired keep range or rough target duration
• Optional start/end points or scene markers
• Goal: publish, review, ad, product demo, highlight, etc.

Workflow

1. Identify what should stay versus what should go.
2. Remove dead sections, filler, or setup time.
3. Preserve a natural start and finish where possible.
4. Export a shorter clip matched to the use case.
5. Note if additional editing would still help.

Output

Return:

1. Selected trim range
2. Reason for cut boundaries
3. Resulting clip use case
4. Any remaining rough edges to fix later

Quality bar

• Avoid awkward cut points unless speed is the priority
• Preserve context needed for the clip to make sense
• Keep the trimmed result purpose-fit, not merely shorter
• Prefer clean beginnings and endings over exact but ugly cuts
