muapi-youtube-shorts
Auto-generate viral 9:16 YouTube Shorts (or TikTok / Reels clips) from a long-form video. Thin platform-aware wrapper around the AI Clipping skill — picks sensible defaults for short-form social platforms (9:16, 30–60s sweet spot) and delegates the actual highlight extraction + crop to muapi.ai's `/ai-clipping` endpoint.
npx skills add SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --skill youtube-shorts --agent claude-code
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for codex, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# YouTube Shorts Generator **Long video → ranked vertical short clips, tuned for short-form social.** This skill is a platform-aware preset over the [AI Clipping](../../edit/ai-clipping/) primitive. It picks the right aspect ratio and clip count for the target platform and delegates highlight extraction, dedupe, and face-tracked auto-crop to muapi.ai's managed `/ai-clipping` endpoint.

Auto-generate viral 9:16 YouTube Shorts (or TikTok / Reels clips) from a long-form video. Thin platform-aware wrapper around the AI Clipping skill — picks sensible defaults for short-form social platforms (9:16, 30–60s sweet spot) and delegates the actual highlight extraction + crop to muapi.ai's `/ai-clipping` endpoint.
How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills --skill youtube-shorts --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 SamurAIGPT/Generative-Media-Skills, a repository with 3,976 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.
