What it does
Capcut is an agent skill from social-media-skills/skills. The CapCut craft skill — edit short-form social video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) fast and safely: retention-paced cuts, auto-captions, beat-synced sound, exports. Use when someone wants to edit in CapCut, cut a reel/short, set up auto-captions, use CapCut's AI tools, pick a plan, or asks whether CapCut music/assets or client work are safe commercially. Uses the EDITS framework. Reads short-form-video-script + brand-profile/design-and-templates + voice-builder first. The agent plans the edit and flags the…
Its SKILL.md is about 2k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including reference files (for example `evals/evals.json`, `references/capcut-2026-reality.md` and `references/scope-and-connections.md`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering AI video generation, Video production and Contract review. It works with TikTok, Google Veo and Canva. The repository describes itself as: 106 social media skills for AI agents - strategy, writing, video, design, platform growth, publishing, and analytics. Works with Claude, Cursor, OpenClaw, Hermes & 40+ agents. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Someone wants to edit in CapCut
- Cut a reel/short
- Set up auto-captions
- Use CapCuts AI tools
Example prompts
- “/capcut”
Workflow steps
2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- short-form-video-script — the beats this edit executes.
- brand-profile + design-and-templates (caption style/type/color) + voice-builder (any copy/TTS).
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 6e30eeb. 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.
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
Capcut loads about 2k tokens when it runs, and up to ~5.3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 252 tokens; SKILL.md has 843 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

capcut
The short-form editing tool skill — edit to the script, drive the pace, ink the captions, tighten sound with
the license check, and ship safe + to spec. The agent plans and flags the hazards; the human executes and
approves; WoopSocial publishes the finished file. (Ships with tools/integrations/capcut.md.)
The POV: the edit serves the script — and "free" has fine print
CapCut earned its place as the default short-form editor: auto-captions in seconds, beat-sync, background removal,
trend templates, phone-to-desktop sync — with a ~15-minute ceiling by design (it's a short-form tool; route
long-form to Descript/Resolve). Two top-1% edges most creators learn the hard way. (1) The licensing fine
print: the June 2025 ToS grants ByteDance a perpetual, transferable, sublicensable license to anything
uploaded/synced (you keep copyright — it's a license, not ownership, stated precisely) — so client/NDA
material edits locally, never synced; and the music trap: free-library assets are personal-use only, and even
tracks labeled "Commercial use" are reported cleared for TikTok/CapCut platforms only — YouTube/IG claims
still happen, verify per track. (2) Check the tier before you build: features migrate behind Pro over time,
and the documented failure is hours of editing ending at a paywalled export. The craft line: the edit executes
what short-form-video-script designed — pacing, captions, and sound serve the beats; and auto-captions always
get an accuracy pass, because a wrong claim in a caption is a published error.
Read these first
- short-form-video-script — the beats this edit executes.
- brand-profile + design-and-templates (caption style/type/color) + voice-builder (any copy/TTS).
The framework: EDITS
(Depth: references/the-edits-framework.md.)
- E — Edit to the script: load the beats; cut everything that isn't in them; the hook lands in the first seconds; the last cut is the loop.
- D — Drive the pace: visual change every ~2–4s (jump cuts, punch-ins/keyframes, B-roll, text pops); beat-sync; scrub-test for dead stretches.
- I — Ink the captions: auto-captions + the mandatory accuracy pass; style once, save the preset; sound-off first; SRT/VTT export when copy travels.
- T — Tighten sound + effects (the license gate): license-check music BEFORE export (the "Commercial use"-is-TikTok-only trap); platform-native audio, licensed tracks, or ai-music-and-sound; effects sparingly.
- S — Ship safe + to spec: right resolution/fps per destination; ToS hygiene (local-only for client work); likeness/AI-disclosure handled; export → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial.
The reality (verify-quarterly)
2026 CapCut: auto-captions (free 10-min/project cap; Pro unlimited; SRT/VTT/ASS export), real-time background
removal, motion/camera tracking, vocal isolation + flicker removal (Pro), TTS/avatars, Long-Video-to-Shorts,
keyframes/beat-sync, MP4/MOV to 4K (Pro). Plans restructured early 2026 — **Standard ≈ $9.99 / Pro ≈ $19.99
($15 annual); sources conflict (regional/legacy $7.99–9.99 figures) — verify in-app**, and features migrate
behind Pro over time (check tiers before building). Documented billing/cancellation complaints (manage via app
store). The ToS + music-license spines as above. India ban since 2020. Attribute all; verify-quarterly. Full
detail: references/capcut-2026-reality.md. The daily loop, the pre-edit tier check, the client-work hygiene
checklist, long-form routing, and two worked examples: references/workflows-and-templates.md.

Honest scope (never violate)
- The agent plans the edit (cut plan, pacing, caption spec, sound plan + license gates, export spec) and flags every ToS/licensing hazard; the human executes in CapCut, judges footage, approves the cut (no CapCut agent connector — never pretend to see or edit video; never fabricate "that cut works"). WoopSocial publishes the finished export (TikTok's required fields validate there) — it does not edit video; CapCut's direct-to-TikTok path exists and the split is a stated choice.
- Licensing/ToS spine: personal-use free assets; "Commercial use" music verified per track; uploaded-content
license → client/NDA work local-only, never synced (counsel for high-stakes; not legal advice); users bear
responsibility for uploads. Likeness + AI-disclosure: no non-consensual lip-sync/deepfakes; disclose
TTS/AI voices where required (EU AI Act; C2PA). Never pirated packs, unlicensed music, uncorrected
captions, or fabricated prices/gates/metrics. (Full scope:
references/scope-and-connections.md.)
Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)
capcut (this) = the short-form timeline edit · short-form-video-script = designs the beats (read first) · captions-and-clipping / opus-clip = clip long video into shorts (feeds this) · descript = text-based talk/long-form editing (the >15-min route) · canva = graphics + simple motion · ai-video / veo-3 / kling / runway = generate footage (this edits it) · talking-head-and-piece-to-camera = the performance the footage comes from · tiktok-video-publishing / instagram-reels-publishing / youtube-shorts = platform publish specifics.
Where this connects
Reads first: short-form-video-script + brand-profile/design-and-templates + voice-builder. Pulls
footage from: talking-head-and-piece-to-camera, ai-video/heygen (disclosed), captions-and-clipping.
Feeds: tiktok-video-publishing, instagram-reels-publishing, youtube-shorts, before-after-and-
transformation, content-recycling. Publishes via: export → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial. Tool
file: tools/integrations/capcut.md. Measure with: native + analytics-and-reporting on watch-through /
3s hold — never fabricated.
Definition of done
A short-form edit that executes the script's beats (hook inside the first seconds, dead air gone, the loop cut last), paced with a visual change every ~2–4s and beat-synced sound, captioned via auto-captions plus the mandatory accuracy pass in a saved on-brand preset inside safe zones, with every asset license-checked before export (personal-use free assets avoided for commercial work; "Commercial use" music verified per destination platform; no pirated packs or unlicensed songs), the ToS hygiene held (client/NDA material local-only, never synced), likeness/AI-disclosure handled (no non-consensual lip-sync; TTS/avatars disclosed where required), and the export to spec per destination; tiers checked before the edit was built (no paywall surprise at export), the human executing and approving the cut, and the finished file published via WoopSocial; measured on watch-through/ 3s hold natively; no fabricated prices, feature gates, capabilities, or metrics; and correctly distinguished from short-form-video-script, captions-and-clipping/opus-clip, descript, canva, and the video generators.
