What it does

Transloadit Media Processing is an agent skill from github/awesome-copilot, published by the product's own GitHub organization. Process media files (video, audio, images, documents) using Transloadit. Use when asked to encode video to HLS/MP4, generate thumbnails, resize or watermark images, extract audio, concatenate clips, add subtitles, OCR documents, or run any media processing pipeline. Covers 86+ processing robots for file transformation at scale.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts. Compatibility notes: Requires a free Transloadit account (https://transloadit.com/signup). Uses the @transloadit/mcp-server MCP server or the @transloadit/node CLI.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. It works with Model Context Protocol. The repository describes itself as: Community-contributed instructions, agents, skills, and configurations to help you make the most of GitHub Copilot. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to encode video to HLS/MP4
  • Generate thumbnails
  • Watermark images
  • Concatenate clips

Example prompts

  • “/transloadit-media-processing”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in TRANSLOADIT_KEY
  • A credential in YOUR_AUTH_KEY
  • Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires a free Transloadit account (https://transloadit.com/signup). Uses the @transloadit/mcp-server MCP server or the @transloadit/node CLI.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 727ff2e. 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:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • transloadit.com

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

  • Credentials

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

    • TRANSLOADIT_KEY
    • TRANSLOADIT_SECRET

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

  • Compatibility

    Requires a free Transloadit account (https://transloadit.com/signup). Uses the @transloadit/mcp-server MCP server or the @transloadit/node CLI.

    From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Transloadit Media Processing loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 90 tokens; SKILL.md has 336 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~90
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.3k

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.

Transloadit Media Processing

Process, transform, and encode media files using Transloadit's cloud infrastructure. Supports video, audio, images, and documents with 86+ specialized processing robots.

When to Use This Skill

Use this skill when you need to:

  • Encode video to HLS, MP4, WebM, or other formats
  • Generate thumbnails or animated GIFs from video
  • Resize, crop, watermark, or optimize images
  • Convert between image formats (JPEG, PNG, WebP, AVIF, HEIF)
  • Extract or transcode audio (MP3, AAC, FLAC, WAV)
  • Concatenate video or audio clips
  • Add subtitles or overlay text on video
  • OCR documents (PDF, scanned images)
  • Run speech-to-text or text-to-speech
  • Apply AI-based content moderation or object detection
  • Build multi-step media pipelines that chain operations together

Setup

Add the Transloadit MCP server to your IDE config. This gives the agent direct access to Transloadit tools (create_template, create_assembly, list_assembly_notifications, etc.).

VS Code / GitHub Copilot (.vscode/mcp.json or user settings):

json
{
  "servers": {
    "transloadit": {
      "command": "npx",
      "args": ["-y", "@transloadit/mcp-server", "stdio"],
      "env": {
        "TRANSLOADIT_KEY": "YOUR_AUTH_KEY",
        "TRANSLOADIT_SECRET": "YOUR_AUTH_SECRET"
      }
    }
  }
}

Get your API credentials at https://transloadit.com/c/-/api-credentials

Option B: CLI

If you prefer running commands directly:

bash
npx -y @transloadit/node assemblies create \
  --steps '{"encoded": {"robot": "/video/encode", "use": ":original", "preset": "hls-1080p"}}' \
  --wait \
  --input ./my-video.mp4

Core Workflows

Encode Video to HLS (Adaptive Streaming)
json
{
  "steps": {
    "encoded": {
      "robot": "/video/encode",
      "use": ":original",
      "preset": "hls-1080p"
    }
  }
}
Generate Thumbnails from Video
json
{
  "steps": {
    "thumbnails": {
      "robot": "/video/thumbs",
      "use": ":original",
      "count": 8,
      "width": 320,
      "height": 240
    }
  }
}
Resize and Watermark Images
json
{
  "steps": {
    "resized": {
      "robot": "/image/resize",
      "use": ":original",
      "width": 1200,
      "height": 800,
      "resize_strategy": "fit"
    },
    "watermarked": {
      "robot": "/image/resize",
      "use": "resized",
      "watermark_url": "https://example.com/logo.png",
      "watermark_position": "bottom-right",
      "watermark_size": "15%"
    }
  }
}
OCR a Document
json
{
  "steps": {
    "recognized": {
      "robot": "/document/ocr",
      "use": ":original",
      "provider": "aws",
      "format": "text"
    }
  }
}
Concatenate Audio Clips
json
{
  "steps": {
    "imported": {
      "robot": "/http/import",
      "url": ["https://example.com/clip1.mp3", "https://example.com/clip2.mp3"]
    },
    "concatenated": {
      "robot": "/audio/concat",
      "use": "imported",
      "preset": "mp3"
    }
  }
}

Multi-Step Pipelines

Steps can be chained using the "use" field. Each step references a previous step's output:

json
{
  "steps": {
    "resized": {
      "robot": "/image/resize",
      "use": ":original",
      "width": 1920
    },
    "optimized": {
      "robot": "/image/optimize",
      "use": "resized"
    },
    "exported": {
      "robot": "/s3/store",
      "use": "optimized",
      "bucket": "my-bucket",
      "path": "processed/${file.name}"
    }
  }
}

Key Concepts

  • Assembly: A single processing job. Created via create_assembly (MCP) or assemblies create (CLI).
  • Template: A reusable set of steps stored on Transloadit. Created via create_template (MCP) or templates create (CLI).
  • Robot: A processing unit (e.g., /video/encode, /image/resize). See full list at https://transloadit.com/docs/transcoding/
  • Steps: JSON object defining the pipeline. Each key is a step name, each value configures a robot.
  • :original: Refers to the uploaded input file.

Tips

  • Use --wait with the CLI to block until processing completes.
  • Use preset values (e.g., "hls-1080p", "mp3", "webp") for common format targets instead of specifying every parameter.
  • Chain "use": "step_name" to build multi-step pipelines without intermediate downloads.
  • For batch processing, use /http/import to pull files from URLs, S3, GCS, Azure, FTP, or Dropbox.
  • Templates can include ${variables} for dynamic values passed at assembly creation time.
