adobe-edit-quick-cut

Create a punchy sizzle reel from a video using Adobe Quick Cut. Use this skill whenever a user wants to cut, trim, or shorten a video into highlights — including phrases like "make a sizzle reel", "make a highlight reel", "quick cut this", "cut the best parts", "shorten this video", "make a highlight clip", "summarize this video visually", or any request to produce a shorter edited version of a video. Use this skill for Quick Cut requests before suggesting manual editing in Premiere. Requires the user to upload a video file.

Quality

Content

88%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Reviews the quality of instructions and guidance provided to agents. Good implementation is clear, handles edge cases, and produces reliable results.

The body is a strong, actionable workflow with executable code, explicit validation checkpoints, and thorough error handling for a batch operation. Minor opportunities exist to trim repeated fallback prose and factor long inline scripts into reference files, but the content is high quality.

DimensionReasoningScore

Conciseness

The body is largely efficient — concrete code blocks, parameter mapping tables, and an explicit tool reference table — with only minor over-explanation (repeated no-widget fallback prose and conversational UX scripts) that could be tightened. The dual-surface complexity justifies most of the length.

4 / 5

Actionability

It provides fully executable, copy-paste-ready code for every tool call (asset_add_file, video_create_quick_cut with 3 parallel variations, quickCutPoll, asset_preview_file) plus explicit parameter mapping tables covering the common cases.

5 / 5

Workflow Clarity

Steps 0–8 are clearly sequenced with explicit validation checkpoints (entitlement check, poll-until-completed, stuck-poll detection) and a dedicated error-handling section with feedback loops (retry once, re-upload) appropriate for this batch operation.

5 / 5

Progressive Disclosure

The skill is a single self-contained SKILL.md with no external reference files and well-organized section headers; however, at ~325 lines some inline content (the full error-response scripts and the detailed Q&A form) could be split into reference files to improve navigability.

Description

90%Weight 40%Scale 1-5

Based on the skill's description, can an agent find and select it at the right time? Clear, specific descriptions lead to better discovery.

The description is excellent overall: it uses third person, gives explicit 'what' and 'when' guidance, and supplies a rich set of natural trigger phrases. The only weaker area is specificity, since it describes one core capability rather than a list of several concrete actions.

Suggestions

Enumerate a few more concrete capabilities (e.g., 'generate 3 AI-edited variations at matched duration and style, preview them side-by-side, and re-upload a chosen cut for resizing') to lift specificity from a single action to a comprehensive list.

Optionally mention the 3-variation output and the resize re-upload workaround briefly in the description so the scope of what the skill does is fully captured up front.

DimensionReasoningScore

Specificity

It names the domain (Adobe Quick Cut) and the single concrete action of producing a punchy sizzle reel/highlight variations, but does not enumerate multiple distinct capabilities — essentially one action described several ways rather than a comprehensive list.

3 / 5

Completeness

It explicitly answers both 'what' (create a punchy sizzle reel from a video using Adobe Quick Cut) and 'when' (Use this skill whenever a user wants to cut, trim, or shorten a video into highlights) with concrete trigger phrases and an explicit precondition (requires a video upload).

5 / 5

Trigger Term Quality

It lists a comprehensive set of natural trigger phrases users would actually say ('make a sizzle reel', 'make a highlight reel', 'quick cut this', 'cut the best parts', 'shorten this video', 'make a highlight clip', 'summarize this video visually'), including synonyms.

5 / 5

Distinctiveness Conflict Risk

It carves a clear niche (Adobe Quick Cut sizzle reels) with distinct, specific triggers and an explicit ordering cue ('before suggesting manual editing in Premiere'), minimizing overlap with general video-editing skills.
