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.
Self-contained
Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.
Open source
Published by timscheuerai on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Shorts 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/timscheuerai/linkedin-funnel/tree/main/skills/shorts-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/timscheuerai/linkedin-funnel.git /tmp/linkedin-funnel
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/linkedin-funnel/skills/shorts-edit .claude/skills/shorts-edit

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Shorts 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 Shorts 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 Shorts 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.

Edit a short

Read the supplied brief and inspect the actual footage. Preserve source files. Establish the intended message, aspect ratio and target runtime; infer routine edit choices within the request.

Keep raw/, transcripts/, edit/ and renders/ inside the requested ignored output directory. Create an edit decision list with source file, start/end times, beat and reason. No prebuilt video pipeline is bundled.

Use shorts-cut for take selection, shorts-audio for audio treatment, and shorts-motion for useful graphics. Captions come from the final cut's words/timings, not stale source offsets. Keep names, numbers and units manually checked against the recording.

Prefer one final encode from preserved sources when practical. Cache generated/transcribed material with enough configuration to distinguish versions. Inspect installed tools before using their command grammar.

Run shorts-qa against the final artifact. Deliver the file, EDL/project, source-to-output map and verification results. A script that has not rendered successfully is not a completed edit.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Shorts Edit AI skill do?

Turn raw talking-head recordings into finished shorts using reviewed take selection, audio, captions, cue-based graphics and final QA.

Why use Shorts Edit on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/timscheuerai/linkedin-funnel/tree/main/skills/shorts-edit. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Shorts 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 Shorts Edit?

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

Is the Shorts Edit AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by timscheuerai 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.
