An edit decision list from a timestamped transcript. It prints the cuts. You apply them. No transcript yet? Ask for one, or produce one first - whisper, faster-whisper, or the caption track YouTube generates on an unlisted upload all work. Do not guess at timings. DEAD - gaps longer than the floor, trimmed from the MIDDLE so both sides keep a breath. Cutting flush against speech is what makes a tightened take sound gasping. FILLER - cues that are nothing but "um", "so yeah", "basically". REPEAT - a sentence restarted. Compared against the last cue that was actually speech, not the literal previous cue, because most retakes have an "um" between the two attempts. It does not touch media. It has no opinion about your B-roll. A 40% cut on the report is a 40% cut of SPEECH, and if the video has a long silent demo in it that number is wrong - check the report against the footage before you trust the runtime at the bottom. Nothing here publishes. This skill writes and you publish. Every output ends in a block the user copies, and the last line of every run is the question: ship it, or change it?
