## What it is

Skills built on HyperFrames and GSAP: cut-silences tightens dead air, cut-mistakes detects mistakes and proposes cuts, and short-form-edit adds captions with timing validation. It ships 406 draft motion-graphics cards, two scene templates, B-roll, storytelling, music and sound design.

## What it’s for

For someone who films a single-take talking-head video and wants cuts and captions proposed by an agent.

## Benefits

- cut-mistakes proposes cuts you review before rendering
- 406 draft motion-graphics cards
- A synthetic starter project, no footage or API key needed

## Caveats

- The license is MIT; it needs Node 22+, Git, FFmpeg and Chrome or Chromium.
- Generated assets are optional but use paid third-party keys (the author uses ElevenLabs Scribe and Kie.ai), and the output is a draft for review.
