wtf is baocut?

BaoCut agent skill gives an AI coding assistant like Claude Code or Codex the ability to control BaoCut, a macOS app for video editing tasks such as transcribing speech, adding and translating subtitles, reviewing who is speaking, cleaning up talking head video, and exporting the result. Instead of clicking through the app yourself, you describe what you want in plain language and the agent runs the underlying baocut command line tool for you. This repository is only the skill wrapper, not BaoCut itself. To use it you need a Mac, since BaoCut is a Mac only app, and you must separately install the actual BaoCut app from its website. The skill drives the command line interface that comes bundled inside that app, it does not include the video processing engines on its own. Installation is done either through a one line command using the skills.sh installer, which requires Node.js and links the skill into both Claude Code and Codex automatically, or manually by cloning the repository and creating symbolic links for whichever agent you use, which needs no Node.js at all. Once installed, you simply ask your agent to do something like transcribe and translate the subtitles of a video file into Chinese, and it runs the appropriate baocut commands behind the scenes, such as an automatic transcribe, polish, and translate step, followed by an export step that produces subtitle files. If the baocut command is not found on your system path, a bundled resolver script locates it inside the installed BaoCut app or tells you to install the app if it is missing.
