Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.

OpenChatCut

OpenChatCut is a local-first, agent-native video editor. This skill is the single external entry point; specialized editing guidance remains inside the running editor and is loaded on demand with load_skill.

Route the task

  • Install, connect, or diagnose the MCP server: read references/getting-started.md.
  • Inspect or modify a project: read references/editing-workflow.md.
  • Recover from a failed tool call, stale session, or missing editor: read references/known-errors.md.

Essentials

  1. Start OpenChatCut before connecting. The default MCP endpoint is http://localhost:5199/api/external-mcp/mcp.
  2. Call openchatcut_status, then list_projects. Select a project only when the user names it or the current context identifies it.
  3. Call load_skill before specialized work. It is read-only and requires neither begin_edit_session nor editSessionId; available names and support files come from the live MCP tool description. With progressive exposure enabled, this call reveals the skill's referenced tools and emits tools/list_changed; refresh the list before continuing.
  4. Before project reads or edits, call begin_edit_session. Keep its editSessionId and pass it to every draft-safe editor tool.
  5. Set reuseExisting: true on begin_edit_session to reuse your active draft or adopt an unchanged orphan. Existing operations and approval mode are kept. If reuse is rejected, call list_edit_sessions. Use recover_edit_session only with a listed recoveryActions value; another online owner must finish or discard its own session.
  6. Use approvalMode: "manual" unless the user explicitly asks for unattended application. In manual mode, the user approves the complete proposal in OpenChatCut. In auto mode, review_edit_session applies the complete draft.
  7. Finish with review_edit_session. Report success only after get_edit_session returns applied.
