Use when turning one local video into a platform-ready short. Kinocut builds clip packages with manifests, review artifacts, and human approval gates.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Kinocut Repurpose

This is a pre-kernel, path-based v1 skill. It guides an agent to produce a good short
clip from one local video using only shipped Kinocut tools. Do not invent commands,
providers, kernels, schedulers, uploaders, or publishing steps.

## Install

From a checkout of this repository, install the skill into a Claude Code-compatible
host that discovers local path skills:

```bash
mkdir -p .claude/skills && cp -R skills/kinocut-repurpose .claude/skills/kinocut-repurpose
```

Run the pinned Kinocut MCP server when MCP tools are available. Do not edit another host's configuration from this skill:

```bash
uvx kinocut==1.16.5
```

For CLI-only hosts, install and verify Kinocut:

```bash
pip install kinocut==1.16.5
kino doctor
```

## Current Tools

Use these shipped surfaces only:

- MCP: `video_repurpose_plan`, then `video_repurpose`.
- CLI: `repurpose-plan`, then `repurpose`.
- Optional support tools when needed: `info`, `video-ai-transcribe`, `generate-subtitles`,
  `subtitles`, `resize`, `normalize-audio`, `thumbnail`, `storyboard`,
  `video-quality-check`.

Useful CLI shape:

```bash
kino --format json info input.mp4
…

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kyanitelabs/kinocut/kinocut-repurpose@sha256:530d678b17da3cba

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261027.49e08f8, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
