AI video editor for talking-head reels. Turns a raw phone recording of someone talking to camera (retakes, pauses, false starts) into a finished vertical 1080x1920 reel for Instagram, TikTok or Shorts: the best take of each sentence, pause trimming, word-timed captions that never cover the face, motion scenes on the spoken word, sound effects mixed against the voice and checked B-roll. Use when the user hands over a talking-head video and says "edit this", "make a reel…

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

# ghost-editor

One recording in, one reel out. The creative work is choosing takes and
planning beats. The scripts do everything else the same way every time: cut
math, zoom tweens, captions, SFX levels, asset copying, QA. Nothing on
screen says anything the speaker did not say. A meme is a reaction, so it
lands ON or just AFTER the punchline, never before it.

Skill dir: `~/.claude/skills/ghost-editor` (below: `$S`). A reel project is any
directory (`$P`); `build.mjs` copies what it needs into `$P/assets` so the
project renders on its own.

## Cost: one fresh helper per reel, the right model per step
Measured on a batch of 21 reels: looking at frames was ~5 % of the Claude usage. The cost is context re-read on every
turn (one helper that built 3 reels in a row re-read 212 M cached tokens over 464 turns) and new generator code written
per reel (two helpers per style each wrote their own lib). Numbers: docs/PLAYBOOK.md "Cost".
- **One reel = one FRESH helper** (Agent tool). Never one helper for several reels or a wave. The session that talks to
  the user orchestrates: fill `templates/briefs/build-one-reel.txt` (build -> preview -> stop), send them the preview,

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add kurbaitaev/ghost-editor/ghost-editor@sha256:95dbc1631836cbf0

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261030.ce17272, 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.
