- Assembling a timeline in DaVinci Resolve Studio from approved media
- SKILL.md covers Connect, Write Contract, Build and Resolve API Boundaries, plus 1 more section
- Calls npx
What it does
The agent works only from an approved blueprint. To connect, it confirms Resolve Studio is open with external scripting set to Local and calls get_version. If the MCP tool is missing, it separates a registration problem from a server failure, since a config file alone is not proof of connection, and offers blueprint-only delivery or the official Python API as a fallback. The upstream MCP server is installed with npx davinci-resolve-mcp setup once you approve.
Before changing Resolve, the agent states the project and timeline names, tracks, media paths and the color, audio, subtitle and render operations, then waits for explicit approval. Large revisions go into a new project or duplicated timeline so your tracks, grades and manual work stay intact. Building converts seconds to frames at the real project frame rate, keeps source ranges inside probed bounds and applies LUTs only to verified groups. Afterward it reads back item counts per track, gaps, overlaps, source paths and ranges, and never reports a rejected operation as done.
When your agent uses it
- Assembling a timeline in DaVinci Resolve Studio from approved media
- Applying an authorized LUT to verified camera groups and confirming it
- Checking a Resolve timeline for gaps, overlaps and wrong source ranges
Example prompts
- “Build a rough-cut timeline in Resolve from the clips listed in blueprint.json.”
- “Apply the approved LUT to the A-camera clips and read back the node to confirm it took.”
- “Check my current Resolve timeline for gaps, overlaps and one-frame errors.”
Requirements
- DaVinci Resolve Studio running with external scripting set to Local
- The davinci-resolve-mcp server or the Resolve Python API
- Node.js with npx to install the MCP server
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Confirm Resolve Studio is open and external scripting is set to Local.
- Call resolve -> get_version.
- If the tool is unavailable, distinguish missing registration from a server
- Offer blueprint-only delivery or the official Python API fallback.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 93cf371. 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
No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use npx, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.
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
DaVinci Resolve Editor loads about 852 tokens when it runs, and up to ~9.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 389 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.
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.

- description
- Safe DaVinci Resolve Studio editing through davinci-resolve-mcp or the official Resolve Python API. Use when Codex must inspect Resolve state, create or revise projects and timelines, import approved media, place source ranges, apply authorized LUTs or effects, prepare rendering, and verify gaps, tracks, source bounds, frame origin, and actual write success.
DaVinci Resolve Editor
Operate only from an approved blueprint. Read references/mcp-operations.md for
the tool map and references/verification.md before delivery.
For deeper operations, load only the relevant bundled reference:
references/compound-tool-reference.mdreferences/prompt-patterns.mdreferences/page-capabilities.mdreferences/keyboard-shortcuts.md
Connect
- Confirm Resolve Studio is open and external scripting is set to
Local. - Call
resolve -> get_version. - If the tool is unavailable, distinguish missing registration from a server failure. An MCP config file alone is not proof of connection.
- Offer blueprint-only delivery or the official Python API fallback.
Install the upstream MCP server when the user approves configuration:
npx davinci-resolve-mcp setupWrite Contract
Before changing Resolve, state:
- project and timeline name
- tracks to create or modify
- media and derivative paths
- color, audio, subtitle, and render operations
Obtain explicit approval. Use a new project or duplicated timeline for substantial revisions. Preserve existing user tracks, audio, grades, and manual work unless the user explicitly authorizes modification.
Build
- Import only blueprint media.
- Convert seconds to frames using the actual project FPS.
- Set source in/out and record frame deliberately.
- Keep source ranges within probed bounds.
- Use explicit track roles rather than assuming A1/A2/A3 universally.
- Add BGM, LUTs, stabilization, retiming, audio processing, and renders only when the current request authorizes them.
- Apply LUTs to verified camera/color-space groups and read back the node LUT.

Resolve API Boundaries
- Resolve writes are stateful; wait and retry in a fresh project/timeline when a batch partially fails.
- Derive frame origin from actual timeline items.
- Still-image duration may differ by Resolve version; use approved pre-rendered still video for frame-exact delivery.
- Resolve 19 may reject item volume writes and does not expose complete Fairlight sidechain automation. Measurement is not a successful write.
- Never report an unsupported or rejected operation as completed.
Verify
Read back and report:
- active project and timeline
- item counts by track
- timeline start frame/origin
- gaps, overlaps, and one-frame errors
- each source path and source range
- source group/camera duration ratios
- adjacent repeated source, including section boundaries
- missing or offline media
- LUT/effect/property readback
- render settings and job status, when requested
A failed report or a report for an older timeline is not delivery.
Export or report enough timeline information for the parent pipeline to compare the finished cut with the approved script: clip time ranges, source paths, track roles, markers, captions, and narration/dialogue placement. Do not make pickup-shot recommendations from the blueprint alone when a finished timeline exists.
