What it does
Tesseract Video is an agent skill from mirage-hq/Tesseract. Edit existing footage into finished videos locally with Tesseract. Make cuts, preserve dialogue, add purposeful sound design, mix audio, and decide where native motion-graphics scenes or overlays improve the story. Use for video editing and revising Tesseract projects, not avatar or video generation.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 30 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `references/ad-hooks.md` and `references/audio-and-timing.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production, Motion graphics and Music and audio generation. The repository describes itself as: Tesseract by Mirage — CLI releases and agent skills for creating and editing videos.
When your agent uses it
- Video editing and revising Tesseract projects
- Video generation
Example prompts
- “/tesseract-video”

What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit fbc9458. 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/, 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
Tesseract Video loads about 1.9k tokens when it runs, and up to ~35k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 976 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); 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 976 words (~1,924 tokens).
“For converting files to or from other editing tools, such as Premiere Pro or After Effects, read conversion. When opening shared or older .tsrct files, updating tools, or investigating load/render differences, read versions and compatibility.”
