Is it a good fit?

Good for

  • Creators making video & media with a coding agent.
  • A project starting from a long 16:9 video or a YouTube link.

Not for

  • A hosted rendering service or a guaranteed one-click edit; the workflow runs in your coding agent.
  • Media you do not have rights to use, or recreating a public figure or another show's branding.

Requirements

  • A coding agent that can read local files and run commands, with access to your own or licensed input media.
  • Node.js 22+ and npm for HyperFrames 0.8.193; ffmpeg/ffprobe for local media processing and MP4 export.
  • Python 3 plus Whisper CLI and a downloaded speech model when deriving timings from audio. Supply a corrected transcript for captions.
  • A highlight-ranking workflow and a face-tracking/reframing tool, or manually approved timestamps and crop positions; neither specialist tool is bundled.

Install the Highlight Forge skill

Choose your agent and run one command. SkillGild signs you in when needed and connects the skill for you.

How it runs

  1. Your agent starts a session. SkillGild checks your access and allowance, counts one run, and sends the skill's instructions for this task.
  2. Your agent does the work with its own model and tools, in your project. SkillGild makes no AI model call.

Use it from code

Start a session, follow its guide, then end it. Create an API key under Account and pass it as a bearer token.

Terminal
# Prints the session ID, its tools and the instructions for your agent
skillgild session highlight-forge
skillgild end <session-id>
