Documentation

README

Excerpt

OpenChatCut

OpenChatCut is a local-first, agent-native video editor. This skill is the single external entry point; specialized editing guidance remains inside the running editor and is loaded on demand with load_skill.

Route the task

Install, connect, or diagnose the MCP server: read references/getting-started.md.
Inspect or modify a project: read references/editing-workflow.md.
Recover from a failed tool call, stale session, or missing editor: read references/known-errors.md.

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
