What it does

Video Summary is an agent skill from JimLiu/baocut. 用户要总结一个视频、提炼要点、写内容摘要或会议纪要式的回顾时用:挑出这一期最值得带走的两三件事,从读者关心的问题讲起、讲透,其余少说或不说;另附一组带视频时间的要点,方便跳回那一段。适用于访谈、播客、演讲、教程、评测、会议、圆桌等任何有转写的视频。不用于总结与视频无关的文章或纯文本,也不用于写博客文章(那是另一种产出)。

Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including reference files (for example `references/writing-baseline.md`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Video and podcast notes. The repository describes itself as: BaoCut: an AI video agent with an editable timeline. Transcribe, subtitle, translate, dub, cut and animate.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 9ccb7be. 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

Video Summary loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~4.8k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 44 tokens; SKILL.md has 234 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~44
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~4.8k

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 234 words (~2,036 tokens).
