What it does
Batch Montage Variants is an agent skill from 0xsline/OpenChatCut. Turn one pool of existing project media into a batch of distinct, publishable montage cuts instead of a single hero edit. Use for batch montage, one-source-many-outputs, 一源多出, 批量混剪, 批量出片, 矩阵号, 多账号分发, variant batches, deduped cuts, 去重变体, 防搬运, or when the user asks for N different versions of the same footage.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/dedup-rules.md` and `references/variation-matrix.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. The repository describes itself as: Open-source, local-first conversational AI video editor with a professional multi-track timeline, Agent Skills, MCP integration, and Remotion rendering. The licence is AGPL-3.0.

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2e6f4a2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Tool permissions
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
Runs code
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Batch Montage Variants loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~3.5k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 83 tokens; SKILL.md has 700 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
Safety
Auto-check passed
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- description
- Turn one pool of existing project media into a batch of distinct, publishable montage cuts instead of a single hero edit. Use for batch montage, one-source-many-outputs, 一源多出, 批量混剪, 批量出片, 矩阵号, 多账号分发, variant batches, deduped cuts, 去重变体, 防搬运, or when the user asks for N different versions of the same footage.
Batch Montage Variants
Use this workflow when the user wants many finished cuts from the same media pool — matrix accounts, A/B hook testing, platform variants, or daily batch output. Each output must satisfy the agreed mode: structural differentiation, a controlled hook test, or a platform adaptation.
This is an OpenChatCut-native workflow. Use the current project, source assets, asset-frame inspection, AV/script context, and built-in editing tools. Editing imported media requires no external service. Use external sources or processing pipelines only when explicitly requested by the user.
When to switch workflows
- One hero edit from many clips → Multi Clips to Reels. Do not use this skill to make a single cut.
- One long source defining a story → Long Video to Shorts.
- N distinct outputs from a shared pool → this skill.
Tell the user when you switch, and say why.
Workflow
- Read the project state before editing. Inventory the source pool: clip count, usable duration, aspect ratio, visual subjects, motion/energy, audio quality, and duplicates.
- Confirm the user wants more than one output and the pool supports the selected mode. Do not pad a distinct-cut batch with near-duplicates; controlled tests and platform adaptations may intentionally reuse an edit.
- Fix the batch contract before cutting — mode (distinct cuts, controlled hook test, or platform adaptations), count, target duration, platform, audience, language, and music bed. If more than one is missing, ask in one
<widget>after loadingwidget-forms. - Score every source asset for reuse headroom before planning. See references/variation-matrix.md. Reserve distinct hooks where the mode requires them; shared end cards and intentional shared bodies are allowed.
- Build the variation matrix before editing. For distinct cuts, plan different hooks and structural changes. For controlled hook tests, change only the hook and keep the body fixed. For platform adaptations, retain the approved content and adapt presentation. See references/variation-matrix.md.
- Plan the dedup budget with references/dedup-rules.md. Decide up front which dimensions carry the differentiation, and record the minimum separation each pair of cuts must clear.
- Get the matrix approved before cutting the whole batch. Show the plan as a table: cut number, hook, order signature, rhythm, duration, packaging, and the dimension that makes it different from every other cut in the batch.
- Cut the first variant end to end and verify it renders and exports before batching the rest. Do not generate eight timelines that share one unverified mistake.
- Cut remaining variants from the approved matrix. Reuse picks and trims according to the approved mode; distinct cuts and hook tests need different openings, while platform adaptations may share them.
- Name timelines so the batch is auditable:
<topic>-v<NN>-<hook-label>, consistent across the batch. - QA each cut individually and the batch as a set. See references/dedup-rules.md for the pairwise checks.
- Report per-cut timeline names, durations, the differentiation dimension for each, and which pair is the most similar — that is the pair the user should review first.

Plan Format
Present the batch as one table, not prose:
| # | Hook asset | Order signature | Rhythm | Duration | Packaging | Differs by |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| v01 | clip_07 (product in hand) | A-C-E-B | fast-cut, 1.2s avg | 28s | bold captions + beat cuts | hook + order |
| v02 | clip_12 (before/after) | C-A-B-E | slow open, ramp | 34s | minimal captions + zoom | hook + rhythm |
- Total outputs, platform, shared vs distinct music bed
- Source pool size and reuse headroom
- Dedup budget and minimum separation
- Risks: thin pool, single-use assets, near-duplicate pairs
Rules
- Distinct cuts and hook tests need different opening three seconds. Platform adaptations may share an opening and must be labeled as adaptations, not distinct edits.
- For distinct cuts, differentiate on structure before decoration. Styling changes alone do not establish structural differentiation; these checks do not guarantee a platform's duplicate-detection outcome.
- Do not pad a thin pool into N cuts. Report the honest maximum and ask.
- Distinct cuts and hook tests need different hooks; platform adaptations may reuse the same approved hook.
- Keep one variable dominant per cut. When everything differs slightly, nothing reads as different.
- Batch output is not permission to lower the bar: each cut must stand alone as publishable.
- Do not use captions or titles to invent claims the footage does not support, in any variant.
- Report the most-similar pair explicitly. Hiding it defeats the point of the batch.
