What it does

44 Video Editor Brief Global is an agent skill from minhnv0807/ai-business-skills. Use when an editor or videographer needs production direction — beat-by-beat storyboard, footage to shoot, b-roll, text overlays, music and pacing, transitions, CTA end frame, and per-channel export specs. This is the EDIT instruction, not the spoken script. Trigger on 'video brief', 'editor brief', 'storyboard', 'brief for the video editor', 'how should this video be cut', 'we have the footage and no direction'. Also use when raw clips exist and nobody knows what the final should look like. Not for — the words…

Its SKILL.md is about 2.2k 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, Comics and storyboards and Influencer and creator marketing. The repository describes itself as: 138 bilingual AI marketing skills (69 VN + 69 Global) for Claude Code, OpenCode, Codex, VS Code. Four role SOP packs — content, design, performance, leader ops — plus strategy… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Videographer needs production direction — beat-by-beat storyboard
  • Footage to shoot
  • Music and pacing
  • Per-channel export specs

Example prompts

  • “video brief”
  • “editor brief”
  • “storyboard”
  • “/44-video-editor-brief-global”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Lock the concept and reference
  2. Write the beat-by-beat storyboard
  3. Write the shooting direction
  4. Write the editing direction
  5. Lock deliverables and channel specs

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0360adc. 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 (its code samples are markdown).

    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

44 Video Editor Brief Global loads about 2.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 179 tokens; SKILL.md has 770 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~179
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.2k

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.

Video Editor Brief (Global)

A good video brief means the shooter knows the setup and the editor knows the cut without a single explanatory call. The first three seconds must work as a standalone clip.

How this differs from 04-script-video-global: the script is the SPOKEN CONTENT (what is said, structured hook-body-CTA). This brief is the PRODUCTION DIRECTION (what to shoot, how to cut, what music, what overlays, how to export). If no script exists, run 04-script-video-global first, then paste its lines into the "Dialogue / VO" column of the storyboard below.

Information gathering

Read .agents/product-marketing-context-global.md, the script from 04-script-video-global, and the asset list if available. If information is missing, ask up to 4 questions:

  1. Where does the video run, and how long? TikTok organic, Reels, Meta ads, YouTube — 15s, 30s, 60s, or 3-5 minutes?
  2. Funnel stage and objective? TOFU, MOFU, or BOFU — what must this video accomplish?
  3. Who appears, and what is available to shoot? Founder, staff, real customer, or voiceover only — is there a physical product to film?
  4. Production setup? In-house or contracted, shoot date, publish date, and who edits?

Principles

  1. Complete enough that the editor never asks. Every cutting decision belongs in the brief.
  2. Shoot more takes than you need — at least three per beat, so the edit can pick the best.
  3. The first three seconds must stand alone. Clipped out on their own, they should still make sense and still hook.
  4. Always attach a reference video. Describing a style in words is not enough.
  5. Multiple formats need separate briefs. Do not run TikTok organic and a Meta ad off one brief.
  6. The CTA lives in the last five seconds and needs a clear end frame (text plus next step).
  7. Clear the music and the claims. Use platform commercial-music libraries or licensed tracks, and follow FTC endorsement rules when a creator or customer appears.

Workflow

1. Lock the concept and reference

One-sentence idea (readable in a single pass), tone (serious, playful, urgent, inspiring, educational), and 1-2 reference videos annotated with what to take from each.

2. Write the beat-by-beat storyboard

Split the video by timeline: Hook (0-3s) -> Beat 1..N -> CTA (final 5s). Each beat states the shot, the dialogue or VO (from the script), the text overlay, and the transition.

3. Write the shooting direction

Lighting, background, camera angle, gear, dos and don'ts — so the shooter sets up correctly the first time.

4. Write the editing direction

Music (mood, BPM, source, license), cut style, color grade, subtitle style — so the editor matches pacing and brand.

5. Lock deliverables and channel specs

Which files, which dimensions, which deadline — including thumbnail or cover frame.

## Concept
- One-sentence idea: [what this video is about]
- Tone: [Serious / Playful / Urgent / Inspiring / Educational]
- Reference video: [link + what to take from it]

## Storyboard — beat by beat
| Beat | Time | Shot | Dialogue / VO | Text overlay | Transition |

## Shooting direction
- Lighting: [natural / ring light / studio]
- Background: [color / setting / location]
- Camera angle: [eye level / slightly low / overhead]
- Gear: [phone / camera — vertical or horizontal]
- Do: at least three takes per beat; shoot enough B-roll for the explanatory sections
- Do not: shoot into the light; change setting mid-beat without a reason

- Cut style: [fast under 2s / slow / mixed by beat]
- Color grade: [bright and airy / warm / per brand]

Position in the campaign timeline

Per the designer timeline in 41-campaign-asset-list-global, video and thumbnails are complex assets — deadline Launch - 5 days. Concept and storyboard are approved at the T-7 checkpoint, before the shoot.

  • 04-script-video-global: write the spoken lines first; this brief covers production (run it first if no script exists).
  • 06-ugc-egc-brief-global: creator and customer-generated video uses its own brief; this skill covers brand-produced video.
  • 41-campaign-asset-list-global: where the video sits in the asset list and its deadline.
  • 42-image-brief-global: brief the static thumbnail that ships with the video.
  • 46-brand-guideline-global: subtitle font, overlay colors, and end-frame logo rules.
  • 47-design-review-global: review the cut before publishing (hook, pacing, CTA, channel spec).

Quality checklist

  • Script or dialogue exists (from skill 04) before the storyboard is written
  • Storyboard covers every beat: hook 0-3s, body, CTA in the final 5s
  • The first three seconds work as a standalone clip
  • Every beat has a shot, dialogue, text overlay, and transition
  • Shooting direction covers lighting, background, angle, gear, and take count
  • Editing direction covers music, cut style, color grade, and subtitle style
  • Subtitles and overlays use brand fonts and colors, inside the safe zone
  • End frame carries the CTA, logo, and next step
  • Deliverables list files, specs, and deadlines per channel
  • A reference video is attached with notes on what to take from it
  • Music license and disclosure requirements are confirmed
