editing-decision-engine is a Claude Code skill that turns A-roll, B-roll, scripts, and reference clips into a beat-by-beat short-form edit plan for a human editor or timeline tooling—not generic analysis or rendering.
About
editing-decision-engine is a PostPlus agent skill from postplusai/postplus-skills in the Media and Creative Production family. It plans short-form post-edit decisions from A-roll, B-roll, scripts, and reference videos—deciding where to stay on face, where to insert proof B-roll, and how to apply reference patterns—then packages an actionable edit plan for human editors or downstream timeline tools. Developers and producers reach for editing-decision-engine when they need structured cut guidance for social video, not generic scene detection or final render pipelines. The skill deliberately avoids rendering; it delivers beat-by-beat editorial decisions agents or editors can execute in NLE or automated timeline workflows.
- Beat-by-beat decisions: face vs proof B-roll per moment in the script
- Uses reference video patterns to inform cut structure, not generic scene description
- Packages an actionable edit plan for humans or downstream timeline tooling
- Explicit stop conditions when brief or source artifacts are missing
- PostPlus Media and Creative Production family skill with artifact contract inputs

How do you plan beat-by-beat cuts for short-form social video?
Turn A-roll, B-roll, scripts, and reference clips into a beat-by-beat short-form edit plan for a human editor or timeline tooling—not generic analysis or rendering.
Who is it for?
Video producers and developers building short-form social pipelines who need structured cut plans from scripts and footage instead of automated rendering or generic scene tagging.
Skip if: Teams seeking automatic video rendering, long-form documentary pacing, or analysis-only metadata extraction without actionable editorial decisions.
When should I use this skill?
A developer or producer needs beat-by-beat short-form edit decisions from A-roll, B-roll, scripts, and reference videos—not generic analysis or rendering.
What you get
A beat-by-beat edit plan specifying face holds, B-roll inserts, reference patterns, and packaging notes for editors or timeline automation.

Editing Decision Engine
Use When
- Plan short-form post-edit decisions from A-roll, B-roll, scripts, and reference videos. Use this when the goal is not generic video analysis or rendering, but deciding how to cut a social video beat by beat, including where to stay on face, where to insert proof B-roll, how to use reference patterns, and how to package an actionable edit plan for a human editor or downstream timeline tooling.
Do Not Use When
- The task belongs to ideation, QA, or another released skill listed in the handoff section.
- Required inputs are missing and guessing would change the result.
Required Input
- Explicit user brief or JSON input matching the artifact contract.
Stop Conditions
- Stop when required user intent, source evidence, or owned input artifacts are
missing and guessing would change the result.
- If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do
not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools.
Handoff
- Return the structured output, hosted result, poll command, or explicit blocker.
Public Command Boundary
- Choose the smallest matching command or workflow from the user input and run
it directly.
- If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do
not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools.

Does editing-decision-engine render final videos?
editing-decision-engine does not render videos or perform generic scene analysis. It produces actionable edit plans—where to cut, hold face, or insert B-roll—for human editors or downstream timeline automation.
Which PostPlus family includes editing-decision-engine?
