What it does

Cliptalk Shortform Hook Director is an agent skill from GML-MMGroup/ClipTalk. Finds and assembles a reviewable short-form cut with a strong opening hook. Use for Shorts, Reels, social clips, talking-head cutdowns, or requests for a punchier opening.

Its SKILL.md is about 450 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 Media & Creative, covering Video production. The repository describes itself as: ClipTalk —— 通过对话完成视频剪辑的 AI Agent。说句话，片子就剪好了。ClipTalk — An AI agent that edits videos through conversation. Just say it, it's edited.

When your agent uses it

  • Talking-head cutdowns
  • Requests for a punchier opening

Example prompts

  • “Use the cliptalk-shortform-hook-director skill to find and assembles a reviewable short-form cut with a strong opening hook”
  • “/cliptalk-shortform-hook-director”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): inspect_workspace, analyze_highlights, search_content, review_content_evidence, propose_timeline_edit, confirm_timeline_edit, prepare_subtitle_review, render_review_preview

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit c2870c2. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • inspect_workspace
    • analyze_highlights
    • search_content
    • review_content_evidence
    • propose_timeline_edit
    • confirm_timeline_edit
    • prepare_subtitle_review
    • render_review_preview

    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

Cliptalk Shortform Hook Director loads about 452 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 51 tokens; SKILL.md has 191 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~51
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~452

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 191 words (~452 tokens).

“Create one concise, reviewable short-form cut rather than pretending to deliver a published social asset.”
