A workflow for removing silence and long pauses from talking-head MP4 videos, then exporting a separate shortened video. Talking-head video shows a person speaking to the camera.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps tighten interviews, presentations, tutorials, and social-media clips by finding pauses, reviewing the cut plan, and rendering a new MP4.
Why use it?
It shortens videos by removing dead air while keeping the original file and existing outputs unchanged. Proposed cuts can be reviewed before export.

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

yaps-video-clipping 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 7d 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 — 137 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Yaps Video Clipping

Create a reviewable Auto Cut project, inspect the proposed removals, and render a new MP4. Preserve the source video and existing outputs throughout.

Runtime compatibility

Do not guess whether the host can reach the user's computer from a product name or user-agent. Before account, dependency, or input checks, resolve the local Yaps CLI through the plugin runner. The runner validates it with a bounded, read-only status command. A cloud shell that cannot see the installed Yaps app is not local access.

If the CLI is unreachable, do not claim Yaps is uninstalled. Explain that the current AI session cannot reach the local Yaps engine. Direct the user to Claude Code or the Claude desktop app on the machine with Yaps, or to ChatGPT desktop for a local-capable Work or Codex session. They can also open Yaps → Media → Auto Cut. If they are already local, offer Download or update Yaps and retry. Stop until reachability is restored.

Private operational diagnostics

Run every Yaps CLI command through the plugin's scripts/yaps-plugin-runner.mjs:

node <plugin-root>/scripts/yaps-plugin-runner.mjs --action cut.command --stage execution -- yaps cut presets --pretty

The runner preserves normal output and exit status. Its on-device diagnostic breadcrumb may contain only plugin ID/version, host, action, stage, attempt/outcome, duration, and a fixed error category. It must never contain prompts, arguments, stdout/stderr, credentials, filenames or paths, transcript text, or media contents. If Node or the runner is unavailable, continue directly; diagnostics must never prevent the requested feature from working.

CLI discovery contract

Always invoke Yaps through scripts/yaps-plugin-runner.mjs; do not locate the binary by hand. The runner honors an explicit path or YAPS_CLI_BINARY, then checks PATH, then verified Yaps locations on macOS, Windows, and official Linux deb/rpm packages. It rejects the macOS GUI executable and unverified Linux AppImages. Never ask the user to install a separate CLI, edit PATH, or configure MCP. Repeat the runner's specific recovery guidance if discovery fails.

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.
