Evaluate and plan the CUTS / editing of a short-form video / reel using Walter Murch's "Rule of Six" — the priority hierarchy that defines an ideal cut: Emotion (51%) > Story (23%) > Rhythm (10%) > Eye-trace (7%) > 2D plane / photographic grammar (5%) > 3D spatial continuity (4%), with one doctrine — when a cut can't satisfy all six, sacrifice from the BOTTOM up and never sacrifice emotion. Produces a cut sheet (JSON), a human edit sheet (Markdown) and plain director notes (txt), and can seed…
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
# Rule of Six — reel edit guide Decide the **cuts** of a short-form video (reel / TikTok / Short) so every edit earns its place. The framework is Walter Murch's **Rule of Six** (from *In the Blink of an Eye*): not six rules, but a **hierarchy of six criteria** that ranks what makes an ideal cut. A perfect cut satisfies all six; when you can't have them all, the ones at the **top** win. Where [`viral-video-script`](../viral-video-script/SKILL.md) writes the **words** (the beat sheet → narration), this skill plans the **montage** — where, when and why to cut. Its outputs annotate the cuts of a reel this repo assembles with [`avatar-reel-composer`](../avatar-reel-composer/SKILL.md) (hard cuts at every scene boundary). ## The hierarchy (six criteria, top = most important) | # | Criterion | Weight | The question the cut must answer | |---|---|---|---| | 1 | **Emotion** | 51% | Does the cut convey / evoke the feeling the moment needs? Is this what the viewer will *remember*? | | 2 | **Story** | 23% | Does the cut advance the plot / develop character / clarify the theme — does it deliver new info? | …

How to install
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/rule-of-six-edit@sha256:227237ea01ab2e26The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260713.037b8e1, 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.
