What it does

Video Edit is an agent skill from manor-os/manor-ai. Default workflow for editing, composing, or creating a finished video from screenshots, UI captures, uploaded clips, images, audio, or a written brief. Use for video editing, product demos, app walkthroughs, launch promos, explainers, motion graphics, title sequences, captioned videos, social ads, clip trimming/reordering, transitions, overlays, and other multi-scene video work. Use Video Edit for the final composition and approval-gated render; generate standalone AI footage only when a scene truly needs it.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `config.json` and `scripts/video_runtime.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Motion graphics and Video production. The repository describes itself as: Source-available, self-hosted AI agent workspace for small businesses and lean teams — with BYOK, workflows, tools, and human approvals.

When your agent uses it

  • App walkthroughs
  • Motion graphics
  • Title sequences
  • Captioned videos

Example prompts

  • “/video-edit”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

5 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Resolve the edit
  2. Start the editable Sandbox project
  3. Author the complete edit
  4. Review before rendering
  5. Render the approved revision

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 140c09a. 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

    Ships 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    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 Edit loads about 2.4k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 131 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,118 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~131
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.4k

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); the scripts in this folder 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 1,118 words (~2,381 tokens).

“Own the finished video, not just a script, storyboard, or collection of clips. Build an editable project, produce review frames, and render only the exact revision the user approves.”
