davinci-resolve

davinci-resolve is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from dmmdea/offload-harness. It costs 0 tokens per session (4,261 once invoked), scanned A, original, Apache-2.0.

A tool for operating DaVinci Resolve, a video-editing application, through programmatic commands. It can inspect projects and media and supports several project, timeline, import, and rendering actions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to import media, create or load projects and timelines, inspect clips, render output, and perform supported video-editing tasks such as cutting, titles, captions, color work, or audio changes.
Why use it?
It lets an agent carry out supported video-editing work in Resolve instead of requiring every operation to be performed manually in the editor. Available actions depend on the verified deployment and task.

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

davinci-resolve 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 13d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 181 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

DaVinci Resolve

Drive DaVinci Resolve Studio programmatically. Host-aware — check hostname first; the live Resolve deployment is per-machine and the layers below are NOT interchangeable.

Capability matrix (read this before promising an edit)

Capability State
Reads: status, projects (+attributes), timelines, clips (video+audio, named timeline), selection, media pool (recursive), render presets, export-spec VERIFIED live (2026-08-23, editing rig, Studio 21.0.4.5)
Writes: import, page, create-project, load-project, delete-project, create-timeline, render, smoke VERIFIED WORKING 2026-08-31 on the editing rig — smoke --yes --timeout 180 returns SMOKE PASS end-to-end (creates a disposable project, builds a timeline, inserts a generator, RENDERS and verifies the file, deletes the project, restores the editor's project).
Spec→timeline build (append-from-spec), Fusion templates The deployed CLI (build f759aaa29, 2026-08-25) DOES expose build --spec PATH [--fps] [--lut NAME=PATH] taking an edit-spec 1.0.0 — newer than this table's old "NOT BUILT". Untested, and it rides the same write path that is measured broken above, so treat as unusable until writes work. Still: do NOT hand-roll raw fusionscript writes against a live project
21.1 catalog + sidecar (2026-09-09, workstation) 146 commands VERIFIED live on Studio 21.1.0.14 through resolve_cli.py serve --port 18800: bins/clips/markers/flags/proxies, tracks, items (incl. 21.1 add-transition, set-item --speed/--fade-in, set-item-properties), multicam create/smart-switch/flatten, colour versions/CDL/LUT/DRX/groups/gallery, Fusion tool scripting (Lock/Undo wrapped), render queue/presets/quick-export/verify-render, system presets, transcription readback, validate-dctl. Branch feat/resolve-http-sidecar (PR #5). Reference: reference/09-resolve-21-1.md + 10-sidecar-and-cli.md. archive-project is refused: ArchiveProject crashes Resolve 21.1 from a script.
Printed CLI davinci-resolve-pp-cli (2026-09-09) Promoted to the local printing-press library %USERPROFILE%\printing-press\library\davinci-resolve (build with go build ./cmd/davinci-resolve-pp-cli; NOT published to the public library — never publish without asking). 147 endpoint commands generated 1:1 from the sidecar catalog + 7 hand-authored history commands (runs list/show, marker search, render history, color audit, fusion titles search, timeline log, doctor history). Live dogfood 511/511 against _ref_scratch, shipcheck 7/7, scorecard 93/100. Needs the sidecar on 127.0.0.1:18800 (resolve.cmd serve --port 18800). Details + fixture recipe: reference/10-sidecar-and-cli.md §4–5.
Resolve AI via API Split surface — see video-pipeline/docs/MASTER-PLAN.md §2.3. 21.1: GetTranscription() returns per-word timing (transcribe on media/cut/edit/fairlight; synchronous, ~20 s cold). Harness STT (hotwords) still owns karaoke timing; Resolve's transcript is a real cross-check now. GenerateSpeech needs the AI Speech Generator Extras pack (returns an error STRING without it)

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.
