  • Runs JavaScript scripts from its folder; calls node and npx

What it does

Cut Mistakes is an agent skill from nateherkai/hyperframes-student-kit. Agent 2 of the video editing pipeline. Finds and removes spoken mistakes — stutters, repeated words, false starts, and retakes (re-recorded lines) — from a talking-head recording. Use after cut-silences, when asked to cut mistakes, remove stutters / repeats / filler restarts, clean up flubs, or keep the best take. Works review-gated: it proposes every cut with context and a reason for approval, then renders only the approved cuts via ffmpeg. Requires a word-level transcript.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts.

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production and Motion graphics. It works with FFmpeg. The repository describes itself as: Edit videos, reels, and YouTube Shorts with Codex or Claude Code. 14 skills, transcript-driven cuts, storytelling, 406 motion-graphics cards, and HyperFrames templates.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Video production
  • Tasks that involve Motion graphics

Example prompts

  • “/cut-mistakes”

Requirements

  • Node.js

Workflow steps

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

  1. Find candidates (mechanical)
  2. Review (the gate — REQUIRED)
  3. Apply approved cuts

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0d30152. 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 2 files in scripts/ (JavaScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • node
    • 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

Cut Mistakes loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 403 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~123
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.1k

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 403 words (~1,055 tokens).

“Second step of the automated edit, run after cut-silences. It removes the things a human editor cuts on a second pass: stutters ("the the", "I- I-"), immediately repeated words, false starts (an abandoned phrase that restarts), and retakes (a line…”
