davinci-resolve-mcp: Skill for Claude Code

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

resolve-delivery is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from samuelgursky/davinci-resolve-mcp. It costs 122 tokens per session (2,100 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A guide for preparing video renders and checking finished video files against delivery requirements in DaVinci Resolve. DaVinci Resolve is software for editing, color work, audio, and exporting video.

In plain words
What is it for?
It helps plan and validate renders, choose delivery formats such as web video or editing masters, inspect finished media, and create delivery records.
Why use it?
It separates render preparation from final file checking, helping catch problems with format, sound levels, blanking, missing media, or incomplete deliveries.

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-delivery 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 Delivery / Deliverable QC

Bridges delivery craft to this repo's tools.

  • Craft / specs — the global deliverables-knowledge, post-supervisor, and quality-control / qc-domain skills (distributor specs, mastering, QC discipline). Use for what the spec should be, not tool mechanics.
  • Live tool mechanicsdocs/kernels/render-deliver-kernel.md (the render planning/validation boundary + Quick Export).
  • Offline deliverable QCresolve-advanced/README.mddeliverable, media, provenance.

Two servers

Job Server Tools
Plan / validate / run renders in a running Resolve davinci-resolve (Python, live) render, render_presets
QC a finished render vs spec, verify ingest, build manifests/provenance with no Resolve open davinci-resolve-advanced (Node) deliverable, media, provenance

Delivery targets (the short path)

Named render intents. list_delivery_targetsprepare_delivery_job(target, target_dir). Ask for prores422hq_master, dnxhr_hqx_master, h264_1080p_web, or an alias (youtube, tiktok, avid, stems). One definition emits BOTH the Resolve render settings and the deliverable_qc spec, so the returned qc_spec is what you QC the finished file against — do not hand-write a second spec.

  • Format/codec resolve against the live matrix. A target this machine or license cannot render fails with the available lists; it never silently substitutes. Use check_availability: true to see what this install supports.

  • Image-sequence targets return qc_spec: nulldeliverable_qc probes one file, a sequence is many. That is expected, not a gap.

  • Bitrate is deliberately unset (Resolve has no bitrate key). Pin quality yourself via settings if a spec demands it.

  • Programme loudness is a separate projection. A target names a standard via overrides: {loudness_standard: "ebu_r128"}; resolve_delivery_target then returns a loudness_target alongside qc_spec. Hand loudness_target.target to advanced loudness_qc. render(action='list_loudness_standards') lists the five named contracts (web, podcast, ebu_r128, atsc_a85, ott_dialogue_gated) — cite one, never invent the numbers.

  • No shipped target names a loudness standard by default: a ProRes master has no inherent programme loudness and a broadcast handoff depends on territory. A loudness_note tells you when none is pinned.

  • Dialogue-gated standards emit no gradeable integrated. loudness_qc measures full-programme; grading a dialogue-gated figure against that means nothing. The number rides in meta for a properly gated meter and only true peak is asserted. This is deliberate, not a missing field.

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.
