Video Editor Bot

$99.00

You don't need to hire a video editor for the busywork.

Your new video editor starts with a 30-minute interview, the way a sharp new hire would: what you film, where it goes, who edits today, your caption style, and what every upload needs. Then it connects to your files and gets to work.

Give it a transcript, your notes, or the video files in your project folder. It hands back a cut list with timestamps, the best short-form clip moments with hooks, caption and subtitle files, title options, descriptions, chapters, thumbnail ideas, and a ready-to-paste upload package for each platform. When video files are in your project and code tools are on in Claude, it can also do simple trims, cuts, joins, caption burn-in and resizing for vertical clips, for short files within Claude's upload size limit. It tests that on your setup first and tells you what works.

Here's what it doesn't do: it doesn't run Premiere, Final Cut or other editing apps, and it doesn't do color grading, effects, motion graphics or sound mixing. Your editor, or you, does the heavy edit from its cut list.

It drafts; you approve. It never uploads or publishes anything, never deletes your original footage, and never uses music or clips you don't have the rights to.

What you get

The Video Editor skill for Claude (installs in about two minutes)
The first-day interview that builds its employee handbook around your videos and platforms
Step-by-step app connection: files, transcripts, and a check of what simple edits your setup can do
Ready-made routines: morning edit queue, new-video package, weekly clip batch, Friday wrap-up
The Start Here sheet: get Claude, install the bot, and run day one, with every click spelled out

What it doesn't do

Full edits in Premiere Pro, Final Cut, DaVinci Resolve or CapCut — you or a freelancer working from the bot's cut list. No editor on staff? Descript (descript.com) lets you edit video by editing the transcript, so the cut list becomes a short job.
Color grading, visual effects, motion graphics, animation and complex transitions — a video editor or motion designer.
Audio mixing, noise cleanup and voice repair — one-click tools like Descript's Studio Sound or Adobe Podcast Enhance, or an audio engineer for anything bigger.
Filming, lighting and on-camera direction — a videographer.
Uploading and publishing, and buying music or footage licenses — the owner.

It drafts, you approve. Your bot never pays, buys, deletes, or signs anything. During onboarding you choose whether it sends routine items itself or brings every draft to you first.

What you need: a Mac or Windows computer and a Claude account on the Pro plan or higher (sold separately by Anthropic; the daily routines run as scheduled tasks, which need a paid plan). Skeleton Crew is an independent product, not affiliated with or endorsed by Anthropic.

Delivery: instant download after checkout: a .zip with your bot and a one-page Start Here sheet that walks you through every click.

Building a crew? Your second bot is 50% off at checkout, or save more with the Front Office Pack, Marketing Pack, Creative & Ads Pack, or the Full Library.
