The review-first prompt is selected by default. You can switch to a direct command or download a local copy.
Read SKILL.md and any companion files shown by SkillsMP before deciding whether to install.
Install with Codex or Claude Copy this prompt, paste it into Codex, Claude, or another assistant, and let it review the skill page and install it for you.
A direct command skips the review prompt. Inspect the source before running it.
npx skills add https://github.com/benchflow-ai/skillsbench --skill ffmpeg-video-editingThe command stays on one line. Scroll horizontally to inspect it before copying.

SkillsBench contribution workflow. Use when: (1) Creating benchmark tasks, (2) Understanding repo structure, (3) Preparing PRs for task submission.
SkillsBench task authoring — walk a contributor from idea to submission-ready task following CONTRIBUTING.md and the task-implementation rubric. Use when the user wants to create a new SkillsBench task, scaffold a task from an existing workflow (notebook, Excel workbook, document, dataset), convert a prompt or a benchmark item into a SkillsBench task, write skills for a task, or prepare a SkillsBench PR. Pairs with `task-review` (run that as a self-check before submitting).
SkillsBench task PR review — classifies the task track (standard / research / multimodal), runs static policy checks against the track-specific rubric, benchmarks the task across oracle plus Claude and Codex (with and without skills), audits trajectories for cheating and skill invocation, and produces a `pr-N-task-timestamp-run.txt` review report alongside a `prN.zip` bundle of trajectories. Use when reviewing a SkillsBench task PR (by number, branch, or local task path), when the user asks to review a task, run benchmarks on a PR, audit a submission, classify a task as research or multimodal track, or prepare a comment to post on a SkillsBench PR.

Basic video editing operations: cutting, trimming, concatenating, and splitting videos.
# Cut from 10s to 30s (using -ss and -to)
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10 -to 00:00:30 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4
# Cut from 10s for 20 seconds duration
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10 -t 20 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4
# First 60 seconds
ffmpeg -t 60 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4
# Last 30 seconds (need duration first)
ffmpeg -sseof -30 -i input.mp4 -c copy output.mp4
# With re-encoding (more precise)
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10 -i input.mp4 -t 20 -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
# Keyframe-accurate (faster, may be less precise)
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10 -i input.mp4 -t 20 -c copy output.mp4
# Create list.txt file:
# file 'video1.mp4'
# file 'video2.mp4'
# file 'video3.mp4'
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c copy output.mp4
# If all videos have same codec/format
ffmpeg -i "concat:video1.mp4|video2.mp4|video3.mp4" -c copy output.mp4
# Re-encode for compatibility
ffmpeg -f concat -safe 0 -i list.txt -c:v libx264 -c:a aac output.mp4
# Split into 60-second segments
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -c copy -f segment -segment_time 60 \
-reset_timestamps 1 output_%03d.mp4
# Split at specific timestamps
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:00:00 -t 00:01:00 -c copy part1.mp4
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:00 -t 00:01:00 -c copy part2.mp4
# When you need to change quality/codec
ffmpeg -ss 00:00:10 -i input.mp4 -t 20 \
-c:v libx264 -crf 23 -c:a aac -b:a 192k output.mp4
# Extract multiple segments
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 \
-ss 00:00:10 -t 00:00:05 -c copy segment1.mp4 \
-ss 00:01:00 -t 00:00:10 -c copy segment2.mp4
-c copy for speed (no re-encoding)-ss before -i is faster but less precise-ss after -i is more precise but slower-c copy
