What it does

Subtitle Burning is an agent skill from OtoDock/oto-dock. Transcribe audio and burn styled subtitles into videos. Use when adding subtitles or captions to a video.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k 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 Transcription. It works with TikTok. The repository describes itself as: The agentic company OS. The brains of your company, built on Claude Code and Codex, working on your Anthropic and OpenAI subscriptions.

When your agent uses it

  • Adding subtitles
  • Captions to a video

Example prompts

  • “/subtitle-burning”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5308f5a. 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:

    • ffmpeg

    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

Subtitle Burning loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 31 tokens; SKILL.md has 366 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~31
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); files beside SKILL.md 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 366 words (~1,131 tokens).

“The transcribe tools turn audio (or a video's audio track) into text with word-level timing, then build SRT subtitle files. Use them for accurate captions — including punchy per-word "karaoke" captions for social/TikTok video.”
