yt-edit

Turn a raw recording's transcript into an edit decision list - dead air, filler cues and retakes, with timecodes. Use for "edit this", "cut the dead space", "tighten this video", "I rambled", or any request to shorten footage from a transcript.

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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by Jakeschincariol on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Yt Edit 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.
https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill/tree/main/skills/yt-edit
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/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill.git /tmp/youtube-agent-skill
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/youtube-agent-skill/skills/yt-edit .claude/skills/yt-edit

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Yt Edit 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 Yt Edit 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 Yt Edit 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.

yt-edit

An edit decision list from a timestamped transcript. It prints the cuts. You apply them.

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

No transcript yet? Ask for one, or produce one first - whisper, faster-whisper, or the caption track YouTube generates on an unlisted upload all work. Do not guess at timings.

What it finds

DEAD - gaps longer than the floor, trimmed from the MIDDLE so both sides keep a breath. Cutting flush against speech is what makes a tightened take sound gasping.
FILLER - cues that are nothing but "um", "so yeah", "basically".
REPEAT - a sentence restarted. Compared against the last cue that was actually speech, not the literal previous cue, because most retakes have an "um" between the two attempts.

What it will not do

It does not touch media. It has no opinion about your B-roll. A 40% cut on the report is a 40% cut of SPEECH, and if the video has a long silent demo in it that number is wrong - check the report against the footage before you trust the runtime at the bottom.

The gate

Nothing here publishes. This skill writes and you publish. Every output ends in a block the user copies, and the last line of every run is the question: ship it, or change it?

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 Yt Edit AI skill do?

Why use Yt Edit on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Yt Edit 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 Yt Edit in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill/tree/main/skills/yt-edit. 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 Yt Edit?

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 Yt Edit?

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

Is the Yt Edit AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Jakeschincariol under the MIT 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.
