Generate Podcast Clips

Use this skill to convert a long-form spoken video into multiple short clips through the Subscut

/podcast-to-clips

API.

What This Skill Does

The skill is an opinionated wrapper around the API outcome:

• extracts up to 10 strong short clips from a long-form video
• favors viral and high-retention spoken moments
• adds captions
• returns titles, scores, and rendered clip URLs

Think in outcomes, not transport:

• Good framing: "Extract viral short-form content from this podcast"
• Bad framing: "Call some video API"

When To Use

Use this skill when:

• the input is a long podcast, interview, webinar, or talking-head video
• the user wants growth, repurposing, shorts, reels, or TikTok content
• the user wants minimal manual editing

Avoid this skill when:

• the source is already short-form
• the content is mostly non-speech
• the user wants manual, frame-by-frame editing decisions

Do not use it as a generic video editing tool.

Input Contract

Use this compact input shape when planning or explaining the tool call:

{
  "video_url": "https://example.com/video.mp4",
  "max_clips": 5,
  "clip_style": "viral",
  "captions": true
}

clip_style

maps to the API

style

field.

Recommended defaults:

• max_clips

  :

  5

• clip_style

  :

  viral

• captions

  :

  true

Output Contract

Expect JSON in this shape:

{
  "clips": [
    {
      "video_url": "https://...",
      "title": "Why Most Founders Get This Wrong",
      "score": 0.92
    }
  ]
}

CLI Entry Point

Once the skill is installed, the agent runtime should invoke the bundled CLI wrapper:

npm --prefix .agents/skills/generate-podcast-clips run generate-podcast-clips -- \
  --video-url "https://example.com/podcast.mp4" \
  --max-clips 5 \
  --clip-style viral \
  --captions true

Required environment variables:

• SUBSCUT_API_KEY

  or

  --api-key

Default base URL:

• https://subscut.com

Install Model

This skill is meant to be published once by Subscut and then installed by users through the marketplace.

End-user flow:

1. Install the published skill from ClawHub / OpenClaw.
2. Set

   SUBSCUT_API_KEY

   .
3. Let the agent call the skill when it needs to turn a long-form spoken video into short clips.

The skill should not ask users to publish or package anything themselves.

Agent Workflow

1. Confirm the source is a long-form spoken video.
2. Prefer the CLI wrapper over hand-written

   curl

   .
3. Keep the request simple unless the user asks for custom clip counts or style changes.
4. Return the resulting clip URLs, titles, and scores.
5. If the API fails, surface the status and response body clearly.
6. Keep a human in the loop before final publishing if the downstream workflow is public.

Natural-Language Triggers

Likely user intents that should map to this skill:

• "Turn this podcast into reels"
• "Make shorts from this interview"
• "Repurpose my long video into clips"
• "Find the viral moments in this podcast"
• "Generate YouTube Shorts from this episode"

Notes

• The API route is

  POST /podcast-to-clips

  .

• clip_style

  maps to the API

  style

  field.
• The script is executed through the skill-local

  npm

  script.
• The skill is intentionally opinionated and keeps the parameter surface small for better agent usage.
• This package is for installation and runtime usage, not for publisher-only deployment steps.
