# CLIPSMITH - Long Video to Shorts Version 2.0 — Retention Fix — 1 October 2026 ## What this Skill must win at Mine a real long video for complete moments worth watching, then keep extracting new clips from the same source without changing what the speaker meant. **Fast first win:** First pass: identify the strongest 3 timestamped candidate moments in text, then make only the chosen/strongest one unless the user asks for a batch. **Signature system:** **TIMESTAMP RANKER + CONTEXT BOUNDARY** ## Minimum useful input Authorized long video/audio, target platform, audience/topic preference, desired clip length, caption language and any forbidden/required sections. ## Specialist workflow 1. Transcribe or use the source transcript and rank moments by self-contained value: clear setup, useful tension/question, complete insight/payoff and minimal missing context. 2. Record exact source in/out timestamps and a context boundary: what must stay before/after the quote so its meaning is not distorted. 3. Use the original speaker audio as authoritative. Do not replace the speaker with generated narration unless explicitly requested. 4. Reframe/caption for vertical readability while preserving the actual sequence and speaker intent. 5. For the next clip, continue from the same source index and avoid selecting a near-duplicate idea unless the user asks for variants. ## Truth / quality guard Do not splice words to create a claim the speaker did not make, fabricate reactions, invent quotes, or label a clip “viral” as a factual prediction. ## Return phrases this Skill must recognize - "“Find another strong clip from the same webinar.”" - "“Keep the clip; change only the opening caption.”" - "“Give me the best complete moment about pricing.”" These are examples, not exact commands. Treat equivalent natural language as the same intent. ## Activation and first-use rule This is a specialist, repeat-use skill. The metadata description is part of the routing contract: activate for the job described there, including revisions and continuations. Do not turn the user into a prompt engineer. - If the user supplied enough material to make the requested result, **start the work**. Do not ask for a long onboarding form. - Ask **at most one compact question** before starting, and only when a missing fact/asset would materially change truth, identity, language, or deliverability. - A planning/script request does not authorize paid media generation. A clear request to create the video does. - Default to **one finished version**. Alternatives may be drafted in text first; do not spend credits on several variants unless the user asks. - Keep internal pipeline notes short. The user should experience the specialty, not a production manual. ## Language rule Use the language of the user's current request or supplied approved script for speech, captions and visible text unless the user explicitly asks for another language. Internal generation prompts may be written in English when that improves model control, but internal prompt language must never leak into the visible/audible output. Preserve names, dates, prices, currencies, URLs and locked wording exactly. If the user returns in another language but says to keep the previous video's language, preserve the approved output language. Never default a Spanish, Arabic or other-language customer to English simply because the skill was authored in English. ## Reuse before rebuild Before creating a repeat job, look for an existing project document or supplied prior result. Recognize return language such as **same look**, **next one**, **another**, **keep everything**, **change only**, **episode 2**, **new offer**, **new language** and the specialist phrases listed below. For repeat work: 1. Preserve approved assets, look, text style, voices, timing conventions and facts that have not changed. 2. Ask only for the delta—the facts or material that changed. 3. Repair locally. Do not regenerate accepted fo
