yt-edit

An edit decision list from a timestamped transcript. It prints the cuts. The person applies them. Use it for "edit this", "cut the dead space", "tighten this video", "I rambled", or any request to shorten footage from a transcript.

From this skill's folder:

python3 scripts/deadair.py transcript.srt              # srt, vtt or whisper json
python3 scripts/deadair.py transcript.srt --floor 0.35 --json

Without a shell (claude.ai, ChatGPT) the script cannot run: read the transcript, mark the same three things by hand, and say the timings were not computed.

Nothing changes. Uplika has no transcript or editing tool and this skill calls none; it works the same for everyone.
