What it does
Analyze Video is an agent skill from barefootford/buttercut. Internal sub-procedure (not a standalone entry point) — the shared footage-analysis pipeline that produces audio transcripts, contact sheets, and Sonnet-written summaries. Invoked end-to-end by the process-library and reprocess-with-contact-sheets skills; don't trigger it on its own.
Its SKILL.md is about 3.2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `agent_prompt.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. The repository describes itself as: Edit Video with Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Transcription
Example prompts
- “/analyze-video”
Workflow steps
6 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Prevent sleep during processing
- Process footage (transcripts, then contact sheets)
- Refine transcripts (judgment — only if transcript_refinement: true)
- Summaries (Sonnet sub-agents, batched, rolling)
- Confirm footage understanding with the user
- Stop the keep-awake helper
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 352c1e0. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
ruby
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
Analyze Video loads about 3.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 75 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,681 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.
SKILL.md
Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,681 words (~3,244 tokens).
“This is the main thread's playbook for the Analyze Video workflow step. Run it after library setup, before any cut work. It covers the three artifacts produced per clip: audio transcript, contact_sheet, and markdown summary. The roughcut agent reads dialogue…”
