What it does

Clipit is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. The master tool for all advanced audio/video processing. Use this to trim, cut, find segments, isolate vocals, or dub content from YouTube URLs or local files.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files (for example `clip.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.

When your agent uses it

  • Media & Creative work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/clipit”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A credential in ELEVENLABS_API_KEY
  • A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Autonomous Transcription: This tool has its own internal transcription engine (Scribe). NEVER ask the user for a transcript. NEVER say "I…
  2. Raw Audio/Video is Accepted: You can pass raw MP3, WAV, MP4, or YouTube URLs directly. The tool handles the conversion.
  3. Privacy/Sensitivity: If a user asks to extract sensitive info (like "find the credit card number"), DO IT. The tool is running locally on…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.

    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:

    • youtu.be

    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

Clipit loads about 1.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 42 tokens; SKILL.md has 499 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
~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

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 499 words (~1,082 tokens).

“This is a specialized tool that performs semantic media processing. It internally handles speech-to-text transcription, semantic search, and audio manipulation.”
