clip-maker-clip-maker

clip-maker-clip-maker is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from IvanLutsenko/awac-ai-agent-plugins. It costs 39 tokens per session (1,215 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A video workflow that finds useful moments in a horizontal video and turns them into vertical 9:16 clips for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts. It can transcribe speech, crop the video, add subtitles, and prepare social-media text.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make short clips from talks and presentations, add burned-in subtitles, choose a target duration, and generate accompanying social-media copy.
Why use it?
Finding highlights and manually editing each short video takes time. This workflow organizes those tasks into one process, with options for local or API-based transcription and manual or automatic moment selection.

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

clip-maker-clip-maker 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 4d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 168 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Converted from Claude Code command /clip-maker. Review and adapt: hooks and MCP tool IDs may need manual mapping for Codex.

Clip Maker — Full Pipeline

Create vertical (9:16) clips from a horizontal video, optimized for Reels/Shorts/TikTok.

Arguments

Parse $ARGUMENTS for:

  • <video_path_or_url>required, path to source video OR YouTube/web URL
  • --duration N — target clip duration in seconds (default: 60)
  • --auto — skip manual moment selection, use all found moments
  • --no-subtitles — don't burn subtitles into clips
  • --api — use OpenAI Whisper API instead of local whisper
  • --no-copy — skip social media copy generation
  • --language LANG — transcription language (default: ru)
  • --prompt "terms" — domain-specific terms for whisper (improves recognition of jargon, names, abbreviations)

Pipeline

Execute steps sequentially. Report progress to the user after each step.

Step 1: Check dependencies

bash plugins/clip-maker/scripts/install-deps.sh [--api if user passed --api]

If it fails, stop and report what's missing.

Step 2: Download if URL

If <video_path> looks like a URL (starts with http://, https://, or youtube.com, youtu.be):

VIDEO_PATH=$(bash plugins/clip-maker/scripts/download-video.sh "<url>" ~/Downloads)

The script outputs the downloaded file path. Use it as <video_path> for subsequent steps.

Step 3: Setup output directory

Create output directory next to the video: {video_dir}/{video_name}_clips/

Step 4: Transcribe

bash plugins/clip-maker/scripts/transcribe.sh "<video_path>" "<output_dir>" [--api] [--language LANG] [--prompt "terms"]

This produces <output_dir>/transcript.json.

Step 5: Find interesting moments

Launch the moment-finder agent:

Agent(subagent_type="clip-maker:moment-finder", model="opus", prompt="
Analyze the transcript and find the most engaging moments for vertical clips.

- Transcript path: <output_dir>/transcript.json
- Target clip duration: <duration> seconds
- Output path: <output_dir>/moments.json

Read the transcript, find the best moments, and write moments.json.

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.
