transcription
Use when a video/audio task needs OpenChatCut transcription, captions, subtitles, subtitle styling, transcript search, transcript readiness checks, or enabling captions, including local or attached videos where the user asks to add captions/subtitles, transcribe, create bilingual subtitles, clean talking-head speech, remove filler words, or trim pauses.

# Transcription For newly imported local/client-held media, use `import_media` to start transcription, then wait with `track_progress`. Typical flow: 1. `read_project` with `view: "assets"` to get the video/audio asset ID and transcript status. 2. If this is a fresh client-held import, make sure it went through `import_media action=create_session` plus the OpenChatCut media import helper. 3. Call `track_progress` with `action:"wait"`, `target:"transcription"`, and `assetIds` set to the asset ID or prefix. 4. Use `find_transcript` to search transcript text and confirm word timestamps. 5. Use `edit_captions` action `enable` or `read_captions` as needed once transcription is ready. Example: ```json { "action": "wait", "target": "transcription", "assetIds": "13c1aa02cd" } ``` Uploaded assets start ASR automatically on ingest, but nothing waits for it. Always use `track_progress` for readiness. For local-only video assets with `local-only; original upload deferred` in `read_project`, transcription cannot run until the bytes are reachable by the backend. Import the source again via the `asset-import` skill (which uploads to S3) or `download_media` from a public URL; do not ask the user t

What does the transcription skill do?
Use when a video/audio task needs OpenChatCut transcription, captions, subtitles, subtitle styling, transcript search, transcript readiness checks, or enabling captions, including local or attached videos where the user asks to add captions/subtitles, transcribe, create bilingual subtitles, clean talking-head speech, remove filler words, or trim pauses.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add 0xsline/OpenChatCut --skill transcription --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From 0xsline/OpenChatCut, a repository with 805 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
