opus-clip

opus-clip is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from sutchan/Agent-Skills-Hub. It costs 88 tokens per session (2,017 once invoked), scanned A, a copy of opus-clip, MIT.

A workflow for turning long videos into short clips with automatic subtitles and reframing. It uses OpusClip to find possible moments, while a person reviews and polishes the selected clips.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to find candidate moments in long videos, search for specific moments, rank clips for review, add subtitles, reframe them, and export finished short videos.
Why use it?
It reduces the time spent searching through long recordings and preparing short versions, while keeping human review in the process.

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

opus-clip 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 8d 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 — 103 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

opus-clip

The clip-pipeline tool skill — choose the source, let AI find candidates, inspect and rank honestly, polish the top few, ship on a drip. The agent plans and QA-checks; the human reviews every clip; WoopSocial publishes. (Ships with tools/integrations/opus-clip.md; pairs with the captions-and-clipping craft skill.)

The POV: a first-pass clip finder, not a one-click viral machine

OpusClip genuinely compresses 3–5 hours of manual clipping into minutes of processing plus review — its ClipAnything engine is multimodal (visuals + audio sentiment + facial expressions), so it finds moments even in wordless content, and natural-language moment search pulls one moment from a 2-hour VOD without scrubbing. But the top-1% operator holds two facts the marketing won't volunteer. (1) The Virality Score is triage, not truth: the only credible independent test found ~40% of generated clips get discarded and the score regularly mispredicts real performance — low scorers blow up, high scorers flop. Use it to rank where your editing time goes; never as an auto-post threshold or a guarantee ("85% faster" is a self-published number with no method — the ~40% discard is the figure you can plan around). (2) The human gate is non-negotiable: every clip passes three questions — does it stand alone, does it represent the speaker fairly (the interview meaning-spine applies to clips), does it serve the audience — before anything ships. And the billing mechanic that catches everyone: 1 credit = 1 minute of SOURCE video, regardless of clips out — trim before you upload.

Read these first

  1. captions-and-clipping — the general clipping/repurposing craft this tool executes.
  2. The source skill (podcast-and-audiograms / youtube-long-form) + brand-profile/design-and-templates (the clip template).

The framework: CLIPS

(Depth: references/the-clips-framework.md.)

  • C — Choose the source: conversational long-form clips best (~8–12 candidates/hour); non-verbal genres work via multimodal analysis with higher discard — test on Free first; clean audio, no burned-in subs, trim before upload (credits bill on source minutes).
  • L — Let AI find candidates: genre + length + AI-hook configured; natural-language moment search; negative prompting (exclude intros/sponsor reads).
  • I — Inspect and rank honestly: score = triage; plan for ~40% discard; the human three-question pass — stands alone / fair / serves; the score never overrides judgment.
  • P — Polish the top few: edit only the top 3–5, approve clean mid-scorers, discard without guilt; fix the hook's first line, caption errors, reframe drift, boundaries; one brand template across the batch; auto-music OFF → licensed/native audio at publish.
  • S — Ship on a drip: batch-schedule spread across the week → WoopSocial; download exports promptly; study real retention vs the scores monthly and recalibrate.

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.
