The instruction itself

4 sections, as written by the author

OpenChatCut

OpenChatCut is a local-first, agent-native video editor. This skill is the

single external entry point; specialized editing guidance remains inside the

running editor and is loaded on demand with load_skill.

Route the task

  • Install, connect, or diagnose the MCP server: read

references/getting-started.md.

  • Inspect or modify a project: read references/editing-workflow.md.
  • Recover from a failed tool call, stale session, or missing editor:

read references/known-errors.md.

Essentials

  • Start OpenChatCut before connecting. The default MCP endpoint is

http://localhost:5199/api/external-mcp/mcp.

  • Call openchatcut_status, then list_projects. Select a project only when

the user names it or the current context identifies it.

  • Call load_skill before specialized work. It is read-only and requires

neither begin_edit_session nor editSessionId; available names and support

files come from the live MCP tool description.

  • Before project reads or edits, call begin_edit_session. Keep its

editSessionId and pass it to every draft-safe editor tool.

  • Use approvalMode: "manual" unless the user explicitly asks for unattended

application. In manual mode, the user approves the complete proposal in

OpenChatCut. In auto mode, review_edit_session applies the complete draft.

  • Finish with review_edit_session. Report success only after

get_edit_session returns applied.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take 0xsline/openchatcut from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference npx. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
