personal-clipper is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from alecs5am/ralphy. It costs 174 tokens per session (2,045 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A workflow for turning one long video, livestream, talk, or podcast into selected vertical highlight clips using its word-timed transcript.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to select promising sections from one source video, create 9:16 clips, synchronize captions and cuts to speech, and package the accepted clips.
Why use it?
It reduces the manual work of finding self-contained moments, cutting them, adding captions, rendering them, and checking the results.

This is alecs5am/ralphy's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on ralphy itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything ralphy configures →

These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

personal-clipper scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

Personal clipper playbook

Turn one long-form video / stream / podcast into a handful of short vertical clips. The agent reads the source's word-level transcript, picks the strongest self-contained windows, and cuts each into a 9:16 clip through the ralphy clip verb — then captions, renders, evaluates, and packages the survivors. This is the personal-clipper content mode (#436), a supported first-class route. NOT a magic "viral moment detector": the windows are an agent decision grounded in the transcript, and the verb only executes the cut.

Sub-docs (read on demand)

Doc When to read it
docs/playbooks/modes/personal-clipper.md The tight quality floor for the mode (creative objective, gates, negative scope) — read first to set the bar.
.agents/skills/editor/SKILL.md Composition / caption / render mechanics once a clip is cut.
.agents/skills/editor/references/vo-sync.md Snapping cut boundaries + caption timing to word-level startMs.
.agents/skills/researcher/references/playbook.md Pulling the source video (ref pull) and frame/transcript tooling.
.agents/skills/audio-explainer/SKILL.md The adjacent long-form-OVERLAY mode; contrast with clip-EXTRACTION here.

When this mode fires

A brief that points at one long-form source and asks for short cuts: "cut my stream into shorts", "clip the best moments out of this podcast", "make 5 TikToks from this talk", "turn my 40-minute VOD into clips", "extract the highlights". The deterministic classifier (classifyContentMode) scores these to personal-clipper. It is a SUPPORTED route — promise it.

Contrast with the neighbours:

  • A long-form video built ON TOP of the audio (overlays, faceless explainer) is podcast-video (the audio-explainer skill), not clip extraction.
  • A generated talking-head short is ugc-review / tutorial-ugc, not a cut from an existing source.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
