Skills in this pack
Cut Planner
Plan a video cut from a transcript — pick the through-line, mark cuts, suggest structure. Trigger on 'plan the cut', 'cut from transcript', 'edit plan', 'structure this footage', or when the user has raw footage and needs an editing structure.
Video Pacing Diagnoser
Diagnose why a video feels slow or rushed and recommend specific fixes. Trigger on 'video feels slow', 'pacing problem', 'video is boring', 'too fast', 'diagnose pacing', or when the user shares a cut that has pacing issues.
Editor Brief Writer
Write a clear brief for a freelance video editor. Trigger on 'editor brief', 'brief my video editor', 'freelance editor instructions', 'hand off to editor', or when the user is briefing an editor on a project.

FAQ
What is a Claude skill?
A Claude skill is a folder containing a SKILL.md file. It tells Claude when to trigger the skill and how to execute the task. Skills live inside your Claude account once uploaded.
Do these work on Free, Pro and Max plans?
Yes, as long as code execution is enabled. On Team and Enterprise plans, an admin needs to enable skills at the organisation level first.
Can I edit the skills?
Yes — the skills are plain markdown files. Open SKILL.md in any editor and change the description, steps, templates, or output format to match how you work.
Do I need all the skills in the pack?
No. Upload only the ones you'll use. Too many active skills makes Claude less precise about which one to pick.
