Premiere — Claude Code skill for Adobe Premiere Pro via Flue
Control Adobe Premiere Pro from the shell through Flue. The agent pipes ExtendScript into premiere_bridge.py and gets structured JSON back.
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill premiere -a claude-codeWhat Premiere does
This skill lets a coding agent operate Adobe Premiere Pro on the desktop through Flue, a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes ExtendScript into premiere_bridge.py and receives structured JSON. The chain is simple: agent shell → premiere_bridge.py → ExtendScript → JSON result.
Use it when a request involves work inside Premiere itself — inspecting the open project, sequences, clips, markers, or making bounded edits. A CLI agent cannot act inside Premiere without a bridge like Flue.
The skill asks the agent to read FLUE.md first: it covers how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example, and safety expectations. If Flue is already installed, the agent also reads SKILL.md and adapters/premiere_adapter/APP.md for the operational contract. If Flue is missing, the agent tells you and offers pip install flue && flue setup, but does not install without explicit approval in the current session.
Flue also supports Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Blender, Houdini, 3ds Max, Unity, and Microsoft Office through the same stdin/stdout contract. One install covers all adapters. MIT-licensed and reviewable on GitHub or PyPI. The skill prefers small, inspectable steps and avoids destructive actions unless explicitly requested.
What it helps with
- inspect the open project in Premiere
- list sequences and clips
- read markers on the timeline
- make bounded edits inside the project
- run small ExtendScript steps and get JSON back
Example prompts for the agent
- show me the sequences open in Premiere
- list the clips in the current project
- read markers on the active timeline

Questions about Premiere
How do I install Premiere in Claude Code?
Run npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill premiere -a claude-code. The skill lands at ~/.claude/skills/premiere/SKILL.md.
What does the Premiere skill do?
It connects a coding agent to Adobe Premiere Pro through the Flue bridge. The agent sends ExtendScript to premiere_bridge.py and gets structured JSON back, so it can inspect projects and make small edits.
Do I need Flue for this skill to work?
Yes, Flue is the required bridge. If it is not installed, the skill will tell you and offer pip install flue && flue setup, but it will not install without your approval in the current session.

--- name: Premiere description: Control Adobe Premiere Pro from the shell via Flue - ExtendScript bridges without an MCP server. --- This skill lets a coding agent operate **Adobe Premiere Pro** on the desktop through [Flue](https://github.com/SFKislev/flue), a local shell-to-application bridge. The agent pipes ExtendScript into `premiere_bridge.py` and gets structured JSON back. > agent shell -> `premiere_bridge.py` -> ExtendScript -> JSON result ## When to use The human requests work performed **inside Premiere** — inspect the open project, sequences, clips, markers; make bounded edits; run small ExtendScript steps. A CLI agent cannot act inside Premiere without a bridge like Flue. ## How to proceed 1. **Read `FLUE.md` in this directory first.** It explains how Flue works, the bridge contract, a worked ExtendScript example, and safety expectations. 2. **If Flue is installed:** also read `C:\Users\fredd\.claude\skills\flue\SKILL.md` and `adapters/premiere_adapter/APP.md` for the operational contract, then work from there. 3. **If Flue is not installed:** tell the human. The install command is `pip install flue && flue setup`. Do not install without explicit approval in the current session. ## Other apps Flue also supports Photoshop, After Effects, Illustrator, InDesign, Audition, Blender, Houdini, 3ds Max, Unity, and Microsoft Office through the same stdin/stdout contract. One install covers all adapters. ## Safety Flue acts inside professional desktop software. Treat the human as the driver; prefer small, inspectable steps; avoid destructive actions unless explicitly requested. Flue is MIT-licensed and reviewable on GitHub / PyPI before use.
