Auto cut a Tella video

Cut the mistakes, the fillers and the silences from every clip, then read the result back and fix what the cuts left behind: pauses that joined across a cut, doubled words and leftover fragments.

This skill needs the Tella MCP. If tools such as get_timeline are missing, follow the connection steps in the tella skill first.

Scope

Auto cut is a direct action: cut, then report what you did. Don't ask for approval of the mistake list first; the user can restore or adjust afterwards. Ask only when you can't tell which video or clip is meant.

It cuts silent stretches even when something is happening on screen. Pace is the silence mode: natural (pauses over 800 ms) unless the user asks for fast (500 ms) or faster (300 ms). If the user only wants some of the steps ("just the silences"), do only those, but still run the final pass.

Don't change layouts, zooms, overlays or captions.

Workflow

Work clip by clip; transcripts, word indices and cuts are all per clip. get_timeline lists the clips. Before cutting, call get_clip on each one and keep its cuts, so you can say how to restore it.
