Lock a video post-pipeline into a skill with local scripts
Re-explaining the same video toolchain every run burns tokens and invites drift.
What hurt
@zoomq had already talked through a macOS toolchain that turns local raw video into a YouTube episode without Jianying. Once that flow was clear, Grok Bot ran it from a saved skill plus the matching scripts, so token use stayed low. Not affiliated with xAI.
What to install or create
Agree the pipeline once → save skill + scripts → rerun with one line pointing at local files.
Bots
Video pipeline bot
Runs the saved skill and local scripts on raw video paths.
Plugins
None on day one. Follow the first-run steps.
Routines
None on the first run. Watch one manual pass first.
The prompt
This is a tip, not a pasteable system prompt. The author did not publish one. Follow the first-run steps.
First run
- 1Read https://x.com/zoomq/status/2113431367111557608 (credit @zoomq).
- 2Walk one full video edit with the bot until the toolchain and order are clear.
- 3Ask it to save that flow as a skill that calls your local scripts (not a chat essay).
- 4Point it at a raw video folder and let the skill drive the post pipeline.
- 5Only re-open the skill when the toolchain itself changes.
Approval fence
You approve the first pipeline and any publish; later runs stay on the saved skill.
What to tweak
Steal 'skill + scripts': the model orchestrates; the computer does the heavy edits.
