davinci-resolve-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

.agents/skills/resolve-audio/SKILL.md

resolve-audio is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp. It costs 86 tokens per session (1,326 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for audio and Fairlight work in DaVinci Resolve, including live timeline changes and offline audio planning. Fairlight is Resolve’s audio-editing and mixing workspace.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for setting audio properties, syncing or editing audio, isolating voices, generating subtitles, planning tracks and buses, measuring loudness, and creating dialogue-led premixes.
Why use it?
It helps choose the right process for balancing a mix, routing buses, syncing audio, and checking loudness without applying unsafe automatic corrections.

Written for no agent in particular: nothing here depends on one. Also seen: installed under .agents/ (shared by several agents); mentions AGENTS.md.

This is samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp's own configuration. It tells Claude Code and Codex how to work on davinci-resolve-mcp itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere.

About the project

davinci-resolve-mcp is an MCP server that lets AI assistants control DaVinci Resolve Studio through its scripting API, including editing, media organization, rendering, grading, and other project tasks. It is for users who want agents to operate Resolve and inspect media through a local control panel. The catalogue entries support agent workflows for this Resolve integration.

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

resolve-audio 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 10d 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.

Resolve Audio / Fairlight

Thin router; depth stays in the kernel.

  • Live tool mechanicsdocs/kernels/audio-fairlight-kernel.md (the timeline audio/Fairlight boundary).
  • Offline planning + bus routingresolve-advanced/README.mdaudio_plan, fairlight, audio.

Rough mix before anything else

If the ask is "make this sound balanced" rather than "route these buses", start with media_analysis mix_plan (Python server, no Resolve needed). Give it the dialogue stems and it derives the dialogue-normalisation gain, the music-bed level under it, and ducking windows from the dialogue's own silence — then renders a premix and measures it, so what you report is the loudness achieved rather than the gain arithmetic.

dry_run defaults to true: show the gains and the window count first. On a full-programme standard (ebu_r128, web) a measured programme trim lands the whole mix on target; on ott_dialogue_gated it deliberately does not trim, because dialogue is the figure being graded. Flags (loudness_off_target, true_peak_over, clipped) come back with remedies and are never auto-corrected — report them, do not paper over them.

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.
