At a glance

Help a user handle a one-off production related task that doesn't match perfectly to an existing skill.

  • The request doesnt map to other more obvious skills
  • SKILL.md covers Where things go and Unsupported file features
  • Instructions only: no scripts, shell commands, URLs or credentials in SKILL.md
  • Tasks that involve Transcription

What it does

Misc Task is an agent skill from barefootford/buttercut. Help a user handle a one-off production related task that doesn't match perfectly to an existing skill. Examples, pull a clip's audio, extract a frame, transcribe a stray recording, draft notes, create a spreadsheet, convert a file from one type to another, etc. Use when the request doesn't map to other more obvious skills.

Its SKILL.md is about 930 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office, covering Transcription and Excel spreadsheets. The repository describes itself as: Edit Video with Claude Code.

When your agent uses it

  • The request doesnt map to other more obvious skills
  • Tasks that involve Transcription
  • Tasks that involve Excel spreadsheets

Example prompts

  • “t match perfectly to an existing skill. Examples, pull a clip”
  • “/misc-task”

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

    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

Misc Task loads about 926 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 84 tokens; SKILL.md has 516 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~84
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~926

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 516 words (~926 tokens).

“Not every request maps to the four core workflow steps (create / process / cut / backup). Editors ask for one-off things. Users will also sometimes ask for features that ButterCut doesn't support natively via XML export.”
