Find B-roll in the user's iCloud Photos, meaning clips and photos of places and scenes without the user or close-up people. Filter by length, place and scene labels (city, sunset, office, food), rank by Apple's aesthetic scores, keep variety across moments, review visually and download originals. Use for video edits, reels, and post backgrounds.
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
# B-roll picker
Needs `icloud-photos-bridge` set up (its `setup.sh` saves where its scripts live).
```bash
PY=$(cat ~/.config/icloud-photos/python 2>/dev/null); B=$(cat ~/.config/icloud-photos/bridge_dir 2>/dev/null)
[ -x "$PY" ] && [ -d "$B" ] || echo "icloud-photos-bridge is not set up: run its scripts/setup.sh first"
```
`scripts/pick.py` below is in this skill's own folder.
## Steps
1. **Catalog:** `$PY $B/catalog.py --out catalog.jsonl --since <date> --kind all`
2. **Rank:**
```bash
$PY scripts/pick.py catalog.jsonl --owner $($PY $B/owner.py get) --kind video --top 48 \
[--min-sec 3 --max-sec 30] [--label city --label sunset] [--place "Lisbon"]
```
- Leaves out selfies, anything with the owner in it, and by default anything with faces or people labels.
`--people small` allows small background people (street scenes).
- At most one pick per 10 minutes (`--window-min`), so you get different scenes.
- `--kind photo|all` for stills. Labels are Apple's scene labels; look at a few catalog lines to see the vocabulary.
3. **Look before you pick.** `$PY $B/montage.py broll_picks.json m.jpg --n 48` (videos show their poster frame).

How to install
mdr add getedgehq/skills/broll-picker@sha256:62092dd329ac4af9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261103.d5d2554, 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.
