Reproduced in full from timscheuerai/gtm-architecture-template/blob/2c312c9398064ad3730c786647293458cb89632c/.agents/skills/shorts-edit/SKILL.md, which is licensed MIT (repository). 151 words, 1 heading.

Edit a short

Read the supplied brief and inspect the actual footage. Preserve source files. Establish the intended message, aspect ratio and target runtime; infer routine edit choices within the request.

Keep raw/, transcripts/, edit/ and renders/ inside the requested ignored output directory. Create an edit decision list with source file, start/end times, beat and reason. No prebuilt video pipeline is bundled.

Use shorts-cut for take selection, shorts-audio for audio treatment, and shorts-motion for useful graphics. Captions come from the final cut's words/timings, not stale source offsets. Keep names, numbers and units manually checked against the recording.

Prefer one final encode from preserved sources when practical. Cache generated/transcribed material with enough configuration to distinguish versions. Inspect installed tools before using their command grammar.

Run shorts-qa against the final artifact. Deliver the file, EDL/project, source-to-output map and verification results. A script that has not rendered successfully is not a completed edit.
