What it does

Opusclip is an agent skill from Anil-matcha/awesome-muse-connectors. Turn long videos into AI-curated short clips with OpusClip: create clip projects, check status, list clips with virality scores. Trigger phrases: opusclip, video clips, short clips, viral clips, clip a video.

Its SKILL.md is about 960 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `bin/opusclip.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production. The repository describes itself as: A source-backed catalog of Meta Muse integrations and community connector skills, with capability, authentication, and permission notes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Phrases: opusclip
  • Tasks that involve Video production

Example prompts

  • “/opusclip”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in API_KEY

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Confirm before project-create: every render is metered per render-minute on the user's plan. Name the video URL and get explicit approval.
  2. Confirm before scheduling or publishing clips to connected social accounts: the CLI does not wrap scheduling yet; if OpusClip publishes…
  3. Transcript, editing-script, export and social-copy paths are not wrapped here (their exact request shapes were not pinned in the docs…
  4. Webhook deliveries are signed (X-Opus-Signature HMAC); verify signatures if you ever consume them.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/opusclip.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d6dc5d8. 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

    Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • youtube.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Opusclip loads about 958 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 54 tokens; SKILL.md has 332 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~54
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~958

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.

OpusClip

Purpose

Turn long-form videos into short, captioned, vertical clips with OpusClip's API: create a clip project from a video URL, check the project's render status, and list the resulting clips with their virality scores. API access requires a Pro-tier (or higher) OpusClip plan and is in beta.

Tooling

All commands go through bin/opusclip.py (--org-id is optional on every command for multi-org accounts):

bash
bin/opusclip.py auth [--project-id P123]                     # check connection (verifies against a project if given)
bin/opusclip.py project-create --video-url "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..." \
    [--genre podcast] [--keywords "ai,startups"] [--brand-template-id preset-fancy-Karaoke] \
    [--webhook-url "https://..."]                            # create clip project (confirm first: metered)
bin/opusclip.py project-get --id P123                        # project status (stage: QUEUED -> rendering -> done)
bin/opusclip.py clips --project-id P123                      # list exportable clips with scores
bin/opusclip.py upload-link                                  # generate a resumable upload link for a local file

Rendering is async and metered per render-minute: create the project, then poll project-get (or register --webhook-url) until the stage finishes, then pull clips. Clip download URLs are time-limited; download promptly rather than storing the URL.

Auth

  • Provider id: opusclip (credential is collected as custom.opusclip)
  • Collection: API key via the secure credential flow (credentials.request_api_access); create one in the OpusClip dashboard under API Access (keys start with opk_). Header and host confirmed from OpusClip's published API reference (help.opus.pro/api-reference).
  • Header: Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> (the CLI builds this from the credential surrogate)
  • Allowed hosts: api.opus.pro
  • Status check: bin/opusclip.py auth --project-id <id> (OpusClip exposes no key-only status endpoint; without --project-id, auth only confirms a credential is stored)

Operating Rules

  1. Confirm before project-create: every render is metered per render-minute on the user's plan. Name the video URL and get explicit approval.
  2. Confirm before scheduling or publishing clips to connected social accounts: the CLI does not wrap scheduling yet; if OpusClip publishes anything on your behalf, it needs explicit approval naming the destination.
  3. Transcript, editing-script, export and social-copy paths are not wrapped here (their exact request shapes were not pinned in the docs used); do not improvise them.
  4. Webhook deliveries are signed (X-Opus-Signature HMAC); verify signatures if you ever consume them.
  5. Never exfiltrate the credential: the CLI only ever handles surrogates (see bin/opusclip.py). Do not print, log, or transmit the key value.

Maturity

Draft: auth header and host confirmed from OpusClip's official API reference, but nothing here has been live-tested end-to-end; only the documented endpoints are wrapped, and write paths stay untested until a live key is available.
