mcncarl/yichen-skills

On an Apple Silicon Mac with a matching version of CapCut, generate editable draft projects headlessly, modify independent copies of existing multi-track drafts, or export native MP4s upon explicit request. Requires cloning the Jianying Headless core project separately; pure transcription does not use this skill.

What is yichen-skills?

The `mcncarl/yichen-skills` skill enables headless automation of CapCut (Jianying) on Apple Silicon Macs. It allows users to generate new, editable draft projects from scratch, create independent copies of existing multi-track drafts for modification, or export final videos as native MP4 files—all without opening the CapCut graphical interface. This skill is designed for developers and AI agents who need to programmatically control CapCut for batch video production, template-based editing, or integration into CI/CD pipelines. It requires a matching version of CapCut installed on the machine and the separate checkout of the Jianying Headless core project. The skill explicitly notes that pure transcription workflows should not use it, as it focuses on draft generation and manipulation rather than speech-to-text. Supported platforms include Apple Silicon Macs (M1, M2, M3, etc.).
