analyze-video
Adds visual descriptions to transcripts by extracting and analyzing video frames with ffmpeg. Creates visual transcript with periodic visual descriptions of the video clip. Use when all files have audio transcripts present (transcript) but don't yet have visual transcripts created (visual_transcript).

Transcribes video audio using WhisperX, preserving original timestamps. Creates JSON transcript with word-level timing. Use when you need to generate audio transcripts for videos.
50setup
Sets up a Mac for ButterCut. Installs all required dependencies (Homebrew, Ruby, Python, FFmpeg, WhisperX). Use when user says "install buttercut", "set up my mac", "get started", "first time setup", "install dependencies" or "check my installation".
40backup-library
Backs up user libraries and all their contents (external video excluded). This skill can also be useful when you need to restore a library.
37release

35roughcut
Builds a roughcut YAML and exported XML (Final Cut, Premiere, or Resolve) from an approved plan markdown file produced by `cut-planner`. Spins up a sub-agent that reads the library directly, builds the cut iteratively, reviews against format conventions, then returns paths plus conversational editorial notes. If the user asks for a "roughcut", "sequence", or "scene" and no plan exists yet, run `cut-planner` first.
