## What it 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.

## Install

### Claude Code (native platform)

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill premiere -a claude-code
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `~/.claude/skills/premiere/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/premiere/

### Codex

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill premiere -a codex
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.agents/skills/premiere/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/

### Cursor

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill premiere -a cursor
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.cursor/skills/premiere/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/

### GitHub Copilot

1. **GitHub CLI**
```bash
gh skill install SFKislev/Flue premiere
```

2. **Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.github/skills/premiere/SKILL.md`

### Gemini CLI

1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill premiere -a gemini-cli
```

2. **Platform CLI**
```bash
gemini skills install https://github.com/SFKislev/Flue --path skills/premiere
```

### Windsurf (Devin Desktop)

**Manually: put the files in place**
- File: `.devin/skills/premiere/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works

### OpenCode

**Skills CLI (Vercel)**
```bash
npx skills add SFKislev/Flue --skill premiere -a opencode
```

### Claude.ai

**Claude.ai**
- Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills

Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/SFKislev/Flue/tree/HEAD/skills/premiere/SKILL.md

## When to use it
- 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
- show me the sequences open in Premiere
- list the clips in the current project
- read markers on the active timeline

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.
