What This Skill Does

The auto-shorts-repurposer is a sophisticated AI agent skill designed to bridge the gap between long-form content and high-engagement short-form media. It functions as a strategic assistant for content creators, marketers, and social media managers by systematically analyzing long video or audio files to identify the most "viral" or impactful segments. Instead of performing the edits itself, it generates a comprehensive production roadmap. This includes precise timestamps, strategic hooks to capture attention in the first two seconds, audience-optimized captions, SEO-friendly titles, and creative briefs for thumbnail design. It streamlines the daunting process of content repurposing, transforming hours of raw footage into a structured library of clip ideas ready for an editor or automated video tool.

Installation

To integrate this skill into your OpenClaw environment, execute the following command in your terminal: clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/codedao12/auto-shorts-repurposer

Use Cases

• Podcasters: Extract 5-10 highlight clips from hour-long conversations to boost episode discovery.
• YouTubers: Repurpose long-form tutorial or deep-dive content into "Shorts" that showcase specific tips or "aha!" moments.
• Livestreamers: Analyze VODs (Video on Demand) to identify peak engagement moments suitable for TikTok or Instagram Reels.
• Corporate Communications: Condense long internal webinars or town halls into executive summaries and bite-sized highlights for internal newsletters.

Example Prompts

1. "I've attached my latest podcast transcript. Please identify 5 highlights where the guest discusses AI ethics. Provide timestamps, a 2-second hook for each, and caption drafts for TikTok."
2. "Here is a link to my 20-minute product demo. Create a clip plan for 3 YouTube Shorts. Keep the tone professional but energetic, suggest 3 hashtags per clip, and outline a thumbnail idea for each."
3. "Analyze this interview video for viral potential. I need 10 clips that are under 60 seconds each, focusing on controversial or surprising statements. Include a brief rationale for why each clip would perform well."

Tips & Limitations

• Quality Control: Always verify the generated timestamps against your source material, as AI transcript indexing can occasionally drift.
• Hook Development: The skill works best when you provide specific audience demographics; if you don't define the target, the output may be too generic.
• Operational Boundary: This skill is a planning tool. It cannot access your social media accounts, nor can it perform direct video editing or publishing. Ensure you have the necessary intellectual property rights for all source media processed, as the skill operates on a 'privacy-first' basis and does not interact with external distribution APIs.
