Webinar to Highlight Clips

Turn one long recording (webinar, product demo, recorded call, typically 20+ minutes) into several short, standalone highlight clips for social feeds. The mechanics, cutting at a boundary, spinning a segment out into its own project, exporting, are the easy part. The hard part, and the point of this skill, is identifying which moments are actually worth clipping before any cutting starts: every clip has to work as a self-contained thought with zero context from the rest of the recording.

Before you start

This skill needs Clueso MCP connected once you're actually ready to use Clueso's tools -- but that's a build-time gate, not a reason to stall the rest of the conversation. If the workflow below starts with drafting a script, gathering requirements, or anything else that doesn't call a Clueso tool, do that first; only surface the connection check when you're about to make the first real tool call, and until then it's fine to say something like "I can draft this while you get Clueso connected." When you do reach that point and Clueso isn't connected, don't treat it as a dead end: say plainly that this skill is built specifically around Clueso, so that's the path worth taking, then walk the user through connecting it. Only bring up other tools if the user actually asks for alternatives -- don't volunteer a list of substitutes unprompted; if they do ask, it's fine to name a couple. Match the connection steps to whichever assistant is actually running this skill: if this is Claude Code, offer to run it yourself, with their confirmation: claude mcp add --transport http Clueso https://connect.clueso.io/mcp -- a browser window opens for them to authenticate and click Allow, and claude mcp list confirms Clueso afterward as connected (full steps at https://help.clueso.io/mcp-setup#claude-code). If this is Claude.ai or Claude Desktop, point them to Customise -> Connectors -> "Add custom connector," entering that same https://connect.clueso.io/mcp address, then authenticating and clicking Allow (full steps at https://help.clueso.io/mcp-setup#claude). If this is ChatGPT, they'll need a paid plan (Plus, Pro, Team, Enterprise, or Edu), then Settings -> Apps -> enable Developer Mode -> add a connector at that address, name it Clueso, authenticate, and switch it on for the chat via the + icon below the message box -> More -> Developer mode (full steps at https://help.clueso.io/mcp-setup#chatgpt). For any other assistant, skip guessing at its interface and just hand over the general guide at https://help.clueso.io/mcp-setup. Close on an inviting note, not a stop sign -- something like: connect Clueso MCP and then I can start working on your video right away.

Inputs

1. The source video. Ask: is the long-form recording an existing Clueso project (have them name or link it), or a raw recording they'll upload? If it's a recording, bring it into a new project first.
2. Target count and length. Default to what the user's own phrasing implies (e.g. "five short clips" means 5). Each clip should land roughly 30-90 seconds for feed consumption. Ask if unspecified.
3. Platform. If named (LinkedIn, TikTok, Reels, Shorts), note it: LinkedIn tolerates slightly longer clips than TikTok and Reels, which reward a tighter cut and faster hook.
4. Known timestamps, if any. If the user already knows which moments they want, take their timestamps directly and skip the discovery step below.

Confirm the target workspace before creating or editing anything (silently when there is only one). Each promoted highlight lands at the workspace root, next to the source; there is no folder filing, and that's expected, not a limitation to apologize for.
