About I Hate Editing

Drop in raw talking-head takes. Get back something you can publish.

I named it after a note to myself: never hand back work that still needs fixing by hand.

Same recording on both phones. Left is what came off the camera; right is what came back. Instagram reel this footage shipped as .

The skill picks the take, decides the repo and the docs page were worth capturing, where to zoom, which line gets the highlighter, what goes on each card, and where every sound lands. You say "punchier." It owns the numbers.

Remembers corrections in taste.md so the tenth video is better than the first

Runs transcription on your machine with whisper.cpp . No cloud STT key.

That registers the skill with your agent. You still need the local tools ( ffmpeg , whisper-cpp , Playwright Chromium). Details in install.md .

It scans the machine, asks five questions, picks a Whisper model for your language and hardware, and starts. More in install.md .

The model does not watch the video. Audio is the clock. Scripts do the mechanical work; the agent only makes taste calls.

Joins love to leave a word sitting there twice. Cuts land mid-clause and flip what you meant. A whole-file transcript papers over both. So after the cut renders, verify re-transcribes short windows on each seam. Repeats are mechanical. Broken clauses get flagged for a human call.
