README (SKILL.md)
Auto Shorts Repurposer
Goal
Turn long-form media into a short-form clip plan with clear timestamps, captions, and platform-ready packaging notes.
Best fit
- Use when the user provides a long video, livestream, or podcast and wants 3 to 20 short clips.
- Use when the user wants hooks, captions, titles, and thumbnail direction drafted for short platforms.
- Use when the user can provide brand tone, audience, and target platforms.
Not fit
- Avoid when the user requests auto publishing or account access to post content.
- Avoid when the user lacks rights or consent to repurpose the source media.
- Avoid when the source has no usable audio or transcript and the user cannot provide one.

Required inputs
- Source media file path or URL, plus any existing transcript.
- Target platforms and constraints (length range, aspect ratio, language).
- Desired clip count and focus topics.
- Brand tone, keywords, and banned topics.
Expected output
- Clip shortlist with timestamps, hook lines, and rationale.
- Caption drafts and on-screen text per clip.
- Hashtag and title suggestions.
- Thumbnail brief or cover-frame suggestions.
- Optional cut list instructions for an editor.
Operational notes
- Work from transcripts when possible and verify timestamps against the source.
- Prefer short, self-contained moments with a clear hook in the first 1 to 2 seconds.
- Deliver outputs as drafts only; do not publish or upload.
Security notes
- Do not request account credentials or access tokens for posting.
- Avoid sharing source media beyond the user-provided context.
Safe mode
- Analyze media and produce draft clip plans, captions, and metadata only.
- Use read-only tooling and keep outputs in local files when requested.
Sensitive ops
- Publishing or uploading content is out of scope and must not be attempted.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent and low-risk, but take these common-sense precautions before using it: 1) Only provide media and transcripts you have the rights to repurpose and avoid sending private conversations or minors' content. 2) If you choose to run a third-party transcription service, supply your own API key to the tool (if required) and do not paste credentials into chat; prefer local transcription when privacy is important. 3) Be careful with private or pre-signed URLs — treat them as sensitive. 4) Confirm the agent does not actually publish or post content; the skill forbids publishing but verify outputs before any manual upload. 5) If the skill ever asks for social-login or posting credentials, do not provide them. These checks will keep the expected workflow private and proportional to the task.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: auto-shorts-repurposer
Version: 1.0.0
The skill bundle is clearly benign. It contains strong, explicit instructions across multiple files (`SKILL.md`, `references/auth.md`, `references/safety.md`) that forbid malicious actions such as publishing content, requesting user credentials, storing API keys, or exfiltrating source media. The documentation consistently reinforces a 'drafts only' and 'analysis-only' scope, and any mentioned network interactions (e.g., transcription APIs, webhooks) are for legitimate, stated purposes with security best practices outlined. There is no evidence of prompt injection attempts, malicious execution, data exfiltration, or obfuscation.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the actual instructions: the skill takes a long-form media source and produces clip plans, captions, and packaging notes. It does not request unrelated capabilities (no cloud creds, no publishing).
Instruction Scope
Runtime instructions are narrowly scoped to segmentation, timestamping, captioning, and packaging. Required inputs (media path/URL, transcripts, platform constraints, tone) are reasonable for this task. The docs explicitly forbid requesting posting credentials and publishing, and recommend local processing when possible.
Install Mechanism
No install spec and no code files — this is instruction-only, so nothing is written to disk or pulled from external URLs by the skill itself.
Credentials
The skill declares no required environment variables, credentials, or config paths. Mentions of optional transcription APIs are advisory and the docs instruct using user-managed API keys and not storing them, which is proportionate to the stated function.
Persistence & Privilege
always is false, user-invocable is true. The skill does not request permanent presence or system-wide changes. Autonomous invocation is allowed (platform default) but the skill contains no privileged operations that would exploit that.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install auto-shorts-repurposer - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/auto-shorts-repurposer - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
