The CapCut craft skill — edit short-form social video (TikTok, Reels, Shorts) fast and safely: retention-paced cuts, auto-captions, beat-synced sound, exports. Use when someone wants to edit in CapCut, cut a reel/short, set up auto-captions, use CapCut's AI tools, pick a plan, or asks whether CapCut music/assets or client work are safe commercially. Uses the EDITS framework. Reads short-form-video-script + brand-profile/design-and-templates + voice-builder first. The agent plans the edit and flags the licensing/ToS gates; the HUMAN executes in CapCut and approves; WoopSocial publishes the finished export. Safety spine: client/NDA work edits locally, never synced (the ToS licenses uploads), and music licensing has fine print — never pirated assets, non-consensual lip-sync, or uncorrected captions. Distinct from short-form-video-script (the script), captions-and-clipping/opus-clip (clipping long video), descript (long-form), canva (graphics), and ai-video/veo-3/kling/runway (generation).

capcut

The short-form editing tool skill — edit to the script, drive the pace, ink the captions, tighten sound with the license check, and ship safe + to spec. The agent plans and flags the hazards; the human executes and approves; WoopSocial publishes the finished file. (Ships with tools/integrations/capcut.md.)

The POV: the edit serves the script — and "free" has fine print

CapCut earned its place as the default short-form editor: auto-captions in seconds, beat-sync, background removal, trend templates, phone-to-desktop sync — with a ~15-minute ceiling by design (it's a short-form tool; route long-form to Descript/Resolve). Two top-1% edges most creators learn the hard way. (1) The licensing fine print: the June 2025 ToS grants ByteDance a perpetual, transferable, sublicensable license to anything uploaded/synced (you keep copyright — it's a license, not ownership, stated precisely) — so client/NDA material edits locally, never synced; and the music trap: free-library assets are personal-use only, and even tracks labeled "Commercial use" are reported cleared for TikTok/CapCut platforms only — YouTube/IG claims still happen, verify per track. (2) Check the tier before you build: features migrate behind Pro over time, and the documented failure is hours of editing ending at a paywalled export. The craft line: the edit executes what short-form-video-script designed — pacing, captions, and sound serve the beats; and auto-captions always get an accuracy pass, because a wrong claim in a caption is a published error.

Read these first

short-form-video-script — the beats this edit executes.
brand-profile + design-and-templates (caption style/type/color) + voice-builder (any copy/TTS).

The framework: EDITS

(Depth: references/the-edits-framework.md.)

E — Edit to the script: load the beats; cut everything that isn't in them; the hook lands in the first seconds; the last cut is the loop.
D — Drive the pace: visual change every ~2–4s (jump cuts, punch-ins/keyframes, B-roll, text pops); beat-sync; scrub-test for dead stretches.
I — Ink the captions: auto-captions + the mandatory accuracy pass; style once, save the preset; sound-off first; SRT/VTT export when copy travels.
T — Tighten sound + effects (the license gate): license-check music BEFORE export (the "Commercial use"-is-TikTok-only trap); platform-native audio, licensed tracks, or ai-music-and-sound; effects sparingly.
S — Ship safe + to spec: right resolution/fps per destination; ToS hygiene (local-only for client work); likeness/AI-disclosure handled; export → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial.

The reality (verify-quarterly)

2026 CapCut: auto-captions (free 10-min/project cap; Pro unlimited; SRT/VTT/ASS export), real-time background removal, motion/camera tracking, vocal isolation + flicker removal (Pro), TTS/avatars, Long-Video-to-Shorts, keyframes/beat-sync, MP4/MOV to 4K (Pro). Plans restructured early 2026 — **Standard ≈ $9.99 / Pro ≈ $19.99 ($15 annual); sources conflict (regional/legacy $7.99–9.99 figures) — verify in-app**, and features migrate behind Pro over time (check tiers before building). Documented billing/cancellation complaints (manage via app store). The ToS + music-license spines as above. India ban since 2020. Attribute all; verify-quarterly. Full detail: references/capcut-2026-reality.md. The daily loop, the pre-edit tier check, the client-work hygiene checklist, long-form routing, and two worked examples: references/workflows-and-templates.md.

Honest scope (never violate)

The agent plans the edit (cut plan, pacing, caption spec, sound plan + license gates, export spec) and flags every ToS/licensing hazard; the human executes in CapCut, judges footage, approves the cut (no CapCut agent connector — never pretend to see or edit video; never fabricate "that cut works"). WoopSocial publishes the finished export (TikTok's required fields validate there) — it does not edit video; CapCut's direct-to-TikTok path exists and the split is a stated choice.
Licensing/ToS spine: personal-use free assets; "Commercial use" music verified per track; uploaded-content license → client/NDA work local-only, never synced (counsel for high-stakes; not legal advice); users bear responsibility for uploads. Likeness + AI-disclosure: no non-consensual lip-sync/deepfakes; disclose TTS/AI voices where required (EU AI Act; C2PA). Never pirated packs, unlicensed music, uncorrected captions, or fabricated prices/gates/metrics. (Full scope: references/scope-and-connections.md.)

Distinct from its siblings (route correctly)

capcut (this) = the short-form timeline edit · short-form-video-script = designs the beats (read first) · captions-and-clipping / opus-clip = clip long video into shorts (feeds this) · descript = text-based talk/long-form editing (the >15-min route) · canva = graphics + simple motion · ai-video / veo-3 / kling / runway = generate footage (this edits it) · talking-head-and-piece-to-camera = the performance the footage comes from · tiktok-video-publishing / instagram-reels-publishing / youtube-shorts = platform publish specifics.

Where this connects

Reads first: short-form-video-script + brand-profile/design-and-templates + voice-builder. Pulls footage from: talking-head-and-piece-to-camera, ai-video/heygen (disclosed), captions-and-clipping. Feeds: tiktok-video-publishing, instagram-reels-publishing, youtube-shorts, before-after-and- transformation, content-recycling. Publishes via: export → scheduling-and-queue → WoopSocial. Tool file: tools/integrations/capcut.md. Measure with: native + analytics-and-reporting on watch-through / 3s hold — never fabricated.

Definition of done

A short-form edit that executes the script's beats (hook inside the first seconds, dead air gone, the loop cut last), paced with a visual change every ~2–4s and beat-synced sound, captioned via auto-captions plus the mandatory accuracy pass in a saved on-brand preset inside safe zones, with every asset license-checked before export (personal-use free assets avoided for commercial work; "Commercial use" music verified per destination platform; no pirated packs or unlicensed songs), the ToS hygiene held (client/NDA material local-only, never synced), likeness/AI-disclosure handled (no non-consensual lip-sync; TTS/avatars disclosed where required), and the export to spec per destination; tiers checked before the edit was built (no paywall surprise at export), the human executing and approving the cut, and the finished file published via WoopSocial; measured on watch-through/ 3s hold natively; no fabricated prices, feature gates, capabilities, or metrics; and correctly distinguished from short-form-video-script, captions-and-clipping/opus-clip, descript, canva, and the video generators.

ai-image-editing

social-media-skills/skills

The AI image-editing router — inpainting/object removal, background removal, upscaling, outpainting, old-photo restoration, and retouch, routed task-first to the right engine. Use when someone wants to remove an object/person from a photo, cut out backgrounds, upscale an image, extend an image to new aspect ratios, restore an old photo, fix a generated image, or asks which editing tool to use. Uses the TOUCH framework. Reads brand-profile + design-and-templates first. The agent names the task, routes to the right engine, writes the spec, and can call APIs where connected; the HUMAN judges every result at 100%; WoopSocial publishes. Honesty spine: an edited real photo is an edited claim — creative upscalers hallucinate detail (never on products/documents), no defect concealment, body-retouch disclosure honored, no watermark/provenance stripping. Distinct from image-prompt/flux/nano-banana (generation), canva (the design workflow), and before-after-and-transformation (the claim rules).

ai-music-and-sound

social-media-skills/skills

The AI music + sound-design skill for social -- original/licensed audio beds and sound design for Reels/TikToks/Shorts/videos. Use when someone needs background music, a track, or sound effects for a social video, asks which AI music tool is safe to use, or asks "can I use this trending sound/song on my brand video?". The real brief is "audio that won't get muted, claimed, or sued," so it picks the safest licensed source and never uses copyrighted or trending music without a license. Uses the SCORE framework. Reads brand-profile + the video it scores first. The agent briefs the music + sound design, picks the safest licensed source (ElevenLabs Music/SFX or stock libraries over Suno/Udio; paid tier for commercial rights), and advises licensing/Content-ID/disclosure. The tool generates/licenses the audio; the creator bakes it in; WoopSocial publishes the video and does NOT generate music. Pure AI music may not be copyrightable; never "100% legally safe." Pairs with ai-voiceover.

ai-search-optimization

social-media-skills/skills

Use to get a brand and its content CITED and RECOMMENDED by AI answer engines — the GEO (Generative Engine Optimization) / AI-search-visibility skill. Run when the user says "GEO," "get cited by ChatGPT/Perplexity/Google AI," "ChatGPT SEO," "LLM SEO / LLMO," "AI Overviews," "answer engine optimization (AEO)," "will AI recommend my brand," or wants to show up in AI-generated answers, not just the feed or Google links. Reads brand-profile and audience first. AI engines retrieve + fan-out and cite community/social sources heavily (Reddit, YouTube, Wikipedia); platforms disagree; earned media beats product pages; extractable, fresh content drives citation. Covers the four GEO levers (retrievable, earned mentions, extractable content, entity clarity), authentic social plays, and the manual prompt-audit method. Refuses astroturfing; never fabricates "share of voice." Sibling of social-seo (platform + Google search). Judges via the audit + GEO tools + AI referral traffic.

before-after-and-transformation

social-media-skills/skills

The transformation / before-after content format — structure a credible, honest, satisfying transformation (fitness, beauty, business results, skill progress, makeovers, client glow-ups, product before/after). Use when someone wants a before/after, a transformation post, a client-results reveal, a progress/journey story, or a makeover. Most powerful format AND most abused/distrusted — honesty is the edge; FTC enforcement is live. Uses the SHIFT framework. Reads brand-profile + social-proof-and-testimonials (consent + FTC substantiation) + short-form-video-script first. Agent structures + specs; human/tool produces the real media; WoopSocial publishes. Never stages/exaggerates the before, hides aids, cherry-picks, or fabricates a result; "results not typical" alone is insufficient — disclose the actual typical result; consent + YMYL required. Distinct from social-proof-and-testimonials, short-form-video- script, infographic-and-data-viz, and storytelling-and-narrative.

behind-the-scenes-and-founder

social-media-skills/skills

The transparency content type — turn what's actually happening inside the business into founder/personal-brand content that builds trust: build-in-public updates, founder story, how-it's-made content, team culture, and honest struggle posts. Use when someone wants behind the scenes, build in public, founder content, a personal brand post, or a day in the life. People follow people — founder-voice content out-performs brand-page content because it's specific and true. Uses the REVEAL framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first. The agent finds the real moment, sharpens specifics + stakes, checks the transparency tier (share vs never: customer data, team conflicts, legal), and frames it in founder-voice; the human owns the reveal permanently; WoopSocial publishes. Never fabricates a struggle, performs vulnerability for reach, or exposes customer/team/legal matters. Distinct from contrarian-and-opinion, storytelling-and-narrative, social-proof, and the format writers.

campaign-and-launch-planning

social-media-skills/skills

Plan and orchestrate a product launch or social media campaign end to end — the multi-week arc, channel by channel. Use when someone wants to plan a launch, product drop, campaign, big announcement, waitlist/pre-launch push, or coordinated multi-platform moment. Plans a time-boxed campaign as ONE story across three phases (tease -> launch -> sustain) toward a single goal, and schedules the coordinated social posts via WoopSocial. Uses the STORY framework. Reads brand-profile + goals-and-kpis first. WoopSocial schedules + publishes the social posts on the timeline; the waitlist/hub, email sequence, checkout, paid ads, press/creator outreach, and livestream are external/native, and conversion/ROI come from native analytics + the store (never fabricated). Urgency must be credible (no fake countdowns/scarcity). Distinct from content-calendar (the ongoing always-on cadence) and goals-and-kpis (the targets a campaign serves).
