The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Works with setup
Score: 8.0/10
Tested: Jul 21, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)

Located SKILL.md at .claude/skills/video-clip-extractor/SKILL.md (mirrored under .cursor and .trae). Frontmatter parses with name+description and a scoped allowed-tools list. Spot-checked referenced targets via raw fetch: video_orchestrator.py (200), pyproject.toml (200), README.md (200); the core/ modules it imports are all present in the repo tree. Verified the SKILL.md CLI reference against the actual argparse in video_orchestrator.py — every documented flag exists (code even has a few undocumented extras). No security smells: no curl|sh, no base64 blobs, no secret exfiltration; install uses ~/.local/share/openclip and $OLDPWD with no hardcoded machine paths (yt-dlp is pulled from git master, a standard-but-notable supply-chain choice). Could NOT measure output vs baseline: producing highlight clips requires uv sync, ffmpeg, a downloadable video, Whisper transcription, and a live LLM API key — none executable in this context, so no artifact was produced.

What Video Clip Extractor does

Runs an orchestrator pipeline that downloads a Bilibili/YouTube URL or local video, transcribes it via platform subtitles or Whisper, has an LLM score segments for engaging moments, and cuts highlight clips with optional artistic titles, burned subtitles, and cover images. Triggers when the user wants to extract or clip the best moments from long videos, livestreams, or recordings. Requires uv, ffmpeg, and an LLM API key (Qwen/OpenRouter/GLM/MiniMax).

How to install Video Clip Extractor

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/linzzzzzz/openclip.git /tmp/video-clip-extractor-src
mkdir -p ~/.claude/skills
cp -R /tmp/video-clip-extractor-src/.claude/skills/video-clip-extractor ~/.claude/skills/video-clip-extractor
# Runtime deps (the skill body handles this on first use):
#   git clone https://github.com/linzzzzzz/openclip.git ~/.local/share/openclip
#   cd ~/.local/share/openclip && uv sync
# Prerequisites: uv (brew install uv / pip install uv), ffmpeg (brew install ffmpeg),
#   and ONE LLM API key env var: QWEN_API_KEY | OPENROUTER_API_KEY | GLM_API_KEY | MINIMAX_API_KEY
# Optional: --burn-subtitles needs ffmpeg+libass; --speaker-references needs `uv sync --extra speakers` + HUGGINGFACE_TOKEN
# Run: cd ~/.local/share/openclip && uv run python video_orchestrator.py <video-url-or-path>
