ADD THIS SKILL
paste into a new chat

Copy this into a blank Wideframe chat. It tells the agent to build the skill, what to confirm with you first, the steps to follow, and how to verify the result.

PROMPT
I'd like you to add a skill to Wideframe called "interview-stringout".

What it should do:
Transcribe a batch and lay the spoken takes into a sequence, ready for Premiere.

Before you run anything, ask me to confirm:
- Radio edit (remove filler / false starts) or verbatim?
- Minimum clip length + silence-gap split threshold (seconds)
- Which speaker(s) to include
- Sequence frame rate + resolution

Then do the work:
1. caltools media-transcript-get-batch over $1 to get word-level timestamps for every file.
2. Segment the transcript into spoken runs using the confirmed silence-gap threshold.
3. If radio edit: mark filler tokens (um, uh, like) and false-start spans for removal; keep a log.
4. caltools sequence-create with the confirmed fps/resolution.
5. caltools sequence-clips-add each kept segment in source order; sequence-clips-update to trim handles.
6. Export with the native .prproj exporter.

Do not grade your own work. When the output is ready, hand it to a separate verification subagent that has its own context window. Give it the output, the choices I confirmed, and the pass criteria below. It reviews the quality, writes specific feedback, and returns PASS or FAIL.

Pass criteria:
- Each kept spoken segment appears exactly once, in order.
- A removed-segments log lists every cut span with timecodes.
- The exported sequence has zero offline/unlinked clips.

If it returns FAIL, apply the feedback, redo the affected work, and verify again with a new subagent. Repeat until it returns PASS, then show me the result.

Once it works, save it as a reusable skill named "interview-stringout" so I can run it again by saying /interview-stringout.
RUN IT AGAIN

Once it’s saved, run it on the next project with /interview-stringout, or just say:

“String out a clean A-roll of this interview. Drop the ums and keep just the subject.”

Run it on your own footage.
