Command-line tools for Editframe video development. An agent skill from shadcn-labs/framecn.

  • Tasks that involve Transcription

What it does

Editframe CLI is an agent skill from shadcn-labs/framecn. Command-line tools for Editframe video development. Render compositions to MP4 locally, preview in the browser, transcribe audio, and deploy to the cloud.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including reference files (for example `references/cloud-render.md`, `references/preview.md` and `references/render.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. The repository describes itself as: Beautiful video components, built on Editframe. 100% Free, Zero config, one command setup. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Transcription

Example prompts

  • “/editframe-cli”

Requirements

  • Node.js

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 7717708. 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:

    • npx
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • editframe.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • EF_TOKEN

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Editframe CLI loads about 378 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 80 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~42
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~378
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~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.
