What youtube-clipper does

youtube-clipper takes a video, identifies interesting moments, cuts them out, and adds automated captions. The workflow covers the full cycle: from download to export-ready file. The skill runs in the background when you ask the agent to make a clip—just name the video or describe which moment to extract.

Installation varies by platform. For Claude Code, run npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill youtube-clipper -a claude-code, then open ~/.claude/skills/youtube-clipper/SKILL.md. On Cursor the command differs: npx skills add nexu-io/open-design --skill youtube-clipper -a cursor with the path .cursor/skills/youtube-clipper/SKILL.md. GitHub Copilot uses gh skill install nexu-io/open-design youtube-clipper.

Full operation requires YouTube API access and ffmpeg for video processing. The skill needs Node.js and an internet connection.

What it helps with

  • extract highlight clips from a long YouTube video
  • generate multiple short clips from a single source
  • automatically add captions to video fragments
  • export edited clips for social media platforms

Example prompts for the agent

  • cut a clip from this video focusing on the main feature, add captions
  • create a highlight reel: pick three best moments and title each one
  • auto-generate social media clips from this webinar recording
