What it does
Cut is an agent skill from barefootford/buttercut. Build a cut from a library — scene, selects, roughcut, custom task, or an edit from a written script. Starts by asking what kind of cut the user wants, then works with them to determine what they want to create. Use when the user asks for a "roughcut", "sequence", "scene", "selects", "edit from a script", or any other cut-shaped output.
Its SKILL.md is about 2.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files (for example `cut_yaml_schema.md`, `direct_path.md` and `missing_footage.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative. The repository describes itself as: Edit Video with Claude Code.
When your agent uses it
- The user asks for a roughcut
- Edit from a script
- Any other cut-shaped output
Example prompts
- “roughcut”
- “sequence”
- “selects”
- “/cut”
Workflow steps
10 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Confirm the library and pre-flight readiness
- Determine Task Type
- Build the Cut (produces YAML)
- Verify the footage is reachable
- Determine the Editing Application
- Export the Cut
- Copy File to Desktop (if enabled)
- Backup Library
- Report Results
- Open in Editor (if enabled)
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
Cut loads about 2.6k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 86 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,458 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 1,458 words (~2,644 tokens).
“This skill builds a timeline from a library.”
