AutoShorts — Daily Viral Clip Pipeline

Pipeline tooling lives at ~/Documents/skill-autoshorts/. Each day this skill picks ONE long video from INPUT_FOLDER, extracts every viable short-form clip (Gemini 3 Flash decides), shows them to the user for approval, and publishes the approved ones via Upload-Post.

Overview

A once-a-day pipeline that turns one long video into a batch of publishable short clips. Each run: pick a video from INPUT_FOLDER, transcribe it with Whisper, let Gemini 3 Flash find every viable short-form moment, cut each with FFmpeg, overlay a hook, show the candidates to the user for approval, and publish the approved ones via Upload-Post to TikTok, Instagram Reels and YouTube Shorts.

Nothing publishes without explicit approval — the user sees every candidate first.
