pause-detectorDetect pauses and silence in audio using local dynamic thresholds.
Pause Detector is an agent skill from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. Detect pauses and silence in audio using local dynamic thresholds. Use when you need to find natural pauses in lectures, board-writing silences, or breaks between sections. Uses local context comparison to avoid false positives from volume variation.
Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/detect_pauses.py`).
The repository describes itself as: SkillsBench evaluates how well skills work and how effective agents are at using them. The licence is Apache-2.0.
5 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9a1f4dd. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
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.
Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
No URLs in SKILL.md.
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Pause Detector loads about 642 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 66 tokens; SKILL.md has 181 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.
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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Unlike global threshold methods, this compares energy to surrounding context, avoiding false positives when speaker volume varies.

Detect pauses and silence in audio using local dynamic thresholds. Pause Detector is an agent skill from benchflow-ai/skillsbench. Detect pauses and silence in audio using local dynamic thresholds.
Pause Detector fits situations like: you need to find natural pauses in lectures; board-writing silences; breaks between sections.
Run `npx skills add benchflow-ai/skillsbench --skill pause-detector -a claude-code`. Or copy the skill folder (tasks/video-silence-remover/environment/skills/pause-detector in benchflow-ai/skillsbench) into .claude/skills/pause-detector in your project. Claude Code loads it when a task matches its description.
Run `npx skills add benchflow-ai/skillsbench --skill pause-detector -a codex`. Or copy the skill folder (tasks/video-silence-remover/environment/skills/pause-detector in benchflow-ai/skillsbench) into .agents/skills/pause-detector in your project. Codex loads it when a task matches its description.
Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot and OpenCode also load SKILL.md folders. With the skills CLI, run `npx skills add benchflow-ai/skillsbench --skill pause-detector -a cursor` (or -a gemini-cli, github-copilot or opencode for the others). To copy it by hand, put the folder in .cursor/skills/pause-detector, .gemini/skills/pause-detector, .github/skills/pause-detector and .opencode/skills/pause-detector in your project.
Going by SKILL.md and its folder, Pause Detector needs Python for the scripts in its folder and the command-line tools its instructions call (python3). Our summary lists: Python 3.
SKILL.md contains no URLs. Any network use would come from the scripts or tools the agent runs. This is read from the text; nothing was executed.
Our automated static check of SKILL.md found no risky patterns, such as piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files or hidden Unicode. It is not a guarantee. The check reads SKILL.md only: the scripts in the folder are not scanned, so read them before running anything.
Pause Detector is published under the Apache-2.0 licence (the repository's licence). It allows redistribution, so the full SKILL.md is shown on this page.
About 642 tokens (SKILL.md is roughly 2.6k characters). Agents keep only the skill's name and description in context until a task matches; then they load SKILL.md in full.
