| description | Reference for the video-editing plugin's per-user data store. Other skills in this plugin (setup-index, profile-system, render-profiles, setup-nas, etc.) read and write to this location. Linux-only — Windows users will need to fork.

Plugin Data Store
All persistent state for this plugin lives in a single per-user directory. Skills read and write to this directory; nothing belongs under ~/.claude/.
Location
${CLAUDE_USER_DATA:-${XDG_DATA_HOME:-$HOME/.local/share}/claude-plugins}/video-editing/
Files
| File | Purpose |
|---|
index.json | Path to the user's video index (base dir holding all projects) |
system-profile.json | Detected GPU, ffmpeg encoders, codecs |
render-profiles.json | Named, reusable render presets (codec, resolution, bitrate) |
nas.json | NAS path / mount, raw + render destinations |
preferences.json | Per-user prefs: EQ preset path, loudness target, default render profile, python venv path, installed tools |
presets/ | Bundled-in copies of user-supplied presets (e.g. talking-head EQ) |
venv/ | Shared uv-managed Python virtualenv for moviepy, auto-editor, etc. |
tools/ | Cloned repos for tools without a PyPI release (VideoAgent, vit) |
Conventions
- All paths stored absolute (use
realpath to canonicalize).
- All timestamps ISO-8601.
- Read with
jq when available; fall back to grep -oP for portability.
- Write atomically: write to
<file>.tmp then mv.
- Never silently overwrite — always show the existing value and ask before changing.
Linux-only assumption
This plugin assumes Linux: lspci, nvidia-smi, vainfo, pactl, rsync, ffmpeg, mlt, kdenlive. Windows or macOS users should fork and adapt.
