Roughcut

Category: Content  ·  Sub-category: editorial  ·  Last updated:
type:review
Builds a roughcut YAML and exported XML (Final Cut, Premiere, or Resolve) from an approved plan markdown file produced by `cut-planner`. Spins up a sub-agent that reads the library directly, builds the cut iteratively, reviews against format conventions, then returns paths plus conversational editorial notes. If the user asks for a "roughcut", "sequence", or "scene" and no plan exists yet, run `cut-planner` first.

From the source SKILL.md

Turns an approved plan into a working roughcut YAML and exported XML. The sub-agent runs async — it commits to a complete cut and returns with notes you can dialogue about.
