video-cutter is a skill for Claude Code from naveedharri/benai-skills. It costs 63 tokens per session (280 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A workflow for splitting a video into sentence-aligned clips near approximate timestamps. It can use existing word timings or create them by transcribing the video first.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps cut YouTube downloads, Loom recordings, uploaded MP4 files, and recorded calls into named sections.
Why use it?

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

video-cutter 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 1mo 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.

What it actually says

video-cutter: standalone sentence-aware cutter

When triggered, invoke the video-cutter-agent sub-agent with:

  • video_path: path to the source video
  • word_timings_path: path to a word-timings JSON, or null (the agent will transcribe with faster-whisper if missing)
  • target_cut_points: approximate timestamps in seconds where the user wants cuts
  • output_dir: default Team/BenAI/Profiles/Milan/Daily/{today}/cuts/, or user-specified
  • section_titles: ordered names for the output clip filenames

If word timings are not provided, the agent will transcribe first. Pass null for word_timings_path to trigger this.

Profile boundary

Output writes to Profiles/Milan/ unless the user specifies otherwise. See [[yt-pipeline SPEC|SPEC.md]].

For the algorithm details, see [[algorithm]]. For QA verification, see [[qa-protocol]].

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
