stage-edit

stage-edit is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from Orkas-AI/Orkas-VideoStudio. It costs 62 tokens per session (2,251 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A video-editing workflow for working with footage you provide. It can use transcripts, text recognition, scene information, silence, quality checks, and visual evidence to guide edits.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to remove dead air or filler words, select highlights, make montages, add captions, change framing, clean up audio, localize footage, or make limited content-aware changes.
Why use it?
It helps decide what to cut or keep while preserving an auditable record of the source and editing decisions.

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

stage-edit 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 today.

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.

stage-edit

How to intelligently edit real user-supplied footage while keeping source and decisions auditable. Deterministic operations handle cuts, joins, captions, overlays, reframes, and audio. When the request changes pixels semantically—remove an object, alter a background, relight, or make another content-aware local change—keep the EDIT route and execute only that bounded segment as a signed ovs video --operation edit call after paid-generation approval.

Subtitle safety hard rule. Burn captions only through ovs edit burnsubs; do not hand-write ffmpeg subtitle, drawtext, or PNG-overlay fallback commands. If burnsubs fails because the runtime ffmpeg lacks subtitle filter support, stop and report the blocker instead of improvising a custom ffmpeg graph.

If the task is to FIND / SELECT / REDUCE / CLEAN rather than run a known timecode edit — remove dead air, drop fillers, pick highlights, cut a long recording down — read stage-decide first: it covers understanding the footage and producing an evidence-bearing rough cut (the deterministic auto-cuts ovs edit trim-silence / remove-fillers, plus ovs scenes / ovs quality / ovs plan rank-takes). This skill is for executing cuts you have already chosen.

Two assembly paths — pick by whether the result needs to stay re-editable:

  • Plan-backed (anything the user may later adjust: narration, multi-shot, segmented edits). Author project/plan.json (the segments EDL — see stage-plan) carrying ONLY the operations the user asked for (the deltas) — everything else is the source, passed through untouched. Keep each editable concern SEPARATE in the plan: each narration line in tracks.narration.segments with its own produced_path, each caption in tracks.captions.lines as data, each segment carrying status/produced_path. Assemble with ovs edit (trim → concat → mix → burnsubs). Because plan.json holds every piece separately, a later "fix one caption / re-voice one line" is a one-entry edit + one re-render — do NOT pre-bake (e.g. one big narration file), which destroys that separability.
  • One-shot deterministic (a plain trim or concat the user just wants done). Use ovs edit directly; write no plan.json.
