JimLiu/baocut

Open-source Agent Skill that drives the BaoCut macOS app CLI (transcribe · subtitle · translate · cut) from Claude Code, Codex, and other agents

What it solves

It allows AI coding agents (like Claude Code or Codex) to control video editing and subtitling tools. Instead of manually editing timelines or transcribing audio, users can use natural language to perform complex video processing tasks.

How it works

The project provides an "Agent Skill" that acts as a bridge between an AI agent and the BaoCut CLI and Subtitle Studio. It uses a resolver to detect the user's operating system and hardware (such as NVIDIA GPUs on Windows) to run the appropriate version of the baocut command-line tool to perform tasks like transcription, translation, and exporting.

Who it’s for

Users of AI coding agents who want to automate video subtitling, transcription, and timeline editing using natural language commands.

Highlights

  • Natural Language Control: Perform tasks like transcribing and translating subtitles via simple prompts.
  • Cross-Platform Support: Works on macOS and Windows x64 (with CPU or CUDA 13 builds).
  • Agent Integration: Compatible with Claude Code, Codex, and any skills.sh-compatible agent.
  • Comprehensive Video Tasks: Supports transcription, speaker review, timeline editing, overlays, and exporting.
