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
# stage-decide
The hard, valuable part of editing real footage is not executing a cut you already chose — it is
**figuring out WHAT to cut**: understanding opaque raw material, removing its intrinsic defects
(dead air, fillers, weak takes), and reducing it without losing the point. This skill is the
"understand → decide" layer; `stage-edit` executes the cuts you land on.
Host-neutral: describe what to produce; the host provides the operations. In Orkas, use skill scripts:
`stage-edit edit_video --op trim_silence` / `--op remove_fillers` (deterministic auto-cuts that return evidence),
`stage-edit analyze_media --op scenes` (cut candidates), `--op quality` (blur/exposure/black/freeze flags),
`video_studio` `op: "speech.transcribe"` for transcription, and `stage-edit analyze_media --op silence`.
## Use this when
The user supplies real footage AND the work is to **select or clean**, not to run a known edit:
"cut this 40-min recording to a 2-min highlight", "remove the ums and dead air", "make 3 clips from
this podcast", "tighten this talking-head". If they already gave you timecodes ("trim 0:10–0:35"),
skip this — that is plain `stage-edit`.
## Method
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add orkas-ai/orkas/stage-decide@sha256:847f023277389c2aThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261104.00a1599, 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.
