Excerpt

OpenChatCut Plugin Basics

Purpose

Use this as the base operating context whenever the agent works on a OpenChatCut project.

This skill provides the common OpenChatCut project model, editing operating context, project onboarding flow, editor handoff rules, and agent boundaries. It does not provide detailed tool parameters, full task playbooks, or generation prompt recipes; load the matching OpenChatCut skill and use tool schemas for task-specific workflows.

Tool surface

Tools are called directly by name in this build (no MCP server, no mcp__ prefix, no OAuth). The tool schemas in context are the runtime contract.

Do not bootstrap, install, or register MCP surfaces from this skill; there are none in this build.

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