openchatcut

Connect an MCP-capable coding agent to OpenChatCut and edit local video projects. Use when the user asks to install, connect, or set up OpenChatCut; inspect or edit an OpenChatCut project; work with its timeline, transcript, captions, media, generation, motion graphics, audio, color, or export tools; or recover from an OpenChatCut MCP error.

Markdown instructions
A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.
Works with any LLM
AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.
5 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by 0xsline on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Openchatcut AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.

Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills

git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/0xsline/OpenChatCut.git /tmp/OpenChatCut
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/OpenChatCut/skills/openchatcut .claude/skills/openchatcut

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Openchatcut in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Openchatcut on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Openchatcut is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

Loaded only when it is needed
The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.
Switch models mid-chat
Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

OpenChatCut

OpenChatCut is a local-first, agent-native video editor. This skill is the single external entry point; specialized editing guidance remains inside the running editor and is loaded on demand with load_skill.

Route the task

Install, connect, or diagnose the MCP server: read references/getting-started.md.
Inspect or modify a project: read references/editing-workflow.md.
Recover from a failed tool call, stale session, or missing editor: read references/known-errors.md.

Essentials

Start OpenChatCut before connecting. The default MCP endpoint is http://localhost:5199/api/external-mcp/mcp.
Call openchatcut_status, then list_projects. Select a project only when the user names it or the current context identifies it.
Call load_skill before specialized work. It is read-only and requires neither begin_edit_session nor editSessionId; available names and support files come from the live MCP tool description. With progressive exposure enabled, this call reveals the skill's referenced tools and emits tools/list_changed; refresh the list before continuing.
Before project reads or edits, call begin_edit_session. Keep its editSessionId and pass it to every draft-safe editor tool.
If begin_edit_session reports an active session, call list_edit_sessions. An orphaned session may be resumed or discarded with recover_edit_session using an action listed in recoveryActions; an online owner must finish or discard its own session.
Use approvalMode: "manual" unless the user explicitly asks for unattended application. In manual mode, the user approves the complete proposal in OpenChatCut. In auto mode, review_edit_session applies the complete draft.
Finish with review_edit_session. Report success only after get_edit_session returns applied.

Skill version

2026-09-04.1

The OpenChatCut MCP server announces its required skill baseline. If the server baseline is newer, run:

bash
npx skills update openchatcut

Fallback command:

bash
npx skills add 0xsline/OpenChatCut --skill openchatcut

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Openchatcut AI skill do?

Why use Openchatcut on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Openchatcut is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Openchatcut in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/0xsline/OpenChatCut/tree/main/skills/openchatcut. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Openchatcut?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Openchatcut?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Openchatcut with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Openchatcut AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by 0xsline under the AGPL-3.0 license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
