reelbench-skills is a set of three Claude Code and Codex skills for people who work with video. video-shots breaks a finished film into a shot-by-shot table: duration, shot size, camera move, frame description, and rhythm. video-sync composites the footage with that shot data alongside it, switching at every cut. video-scrub rebuilds a file with only picture and sound, leaving GPS, device, and account metadata behind. Apache 2.0 and free.
Install is a git clone and one script that symlinks the skills into your Claude Code or Codex skills folder, so a git pull updates them. Requirements are Node 18 or later plus ffmpeg and ffprobe. No npm dependencies and no API keys, because the model work runs on the agent session you already have. ffmpeg does the measuring and the model only makes the judgment calls.
Free at every size. Editors, film students, and anyone studying how a video is cut get the most from video-shots, whose output is a single offline HTML report with a player, a pace strip, and a searchable shot list. video-scrub is for anyone publishing footage who does not want to leak where and on what it was shot.
The catch: it is one person's project, the primary README is Chinese with an English translation alongside, and the author promotes a paid WeChat community in it. Shot analysis also spends your agent's tokens on every run.
Free vs Self-Hosted vs Paid
fully freeFree: Everything. Apache 2.0 skills for Claude Code and Codex: shot breakdown, synced shot-data video, and metadata scrubbing.
Self-hosted: Nothing to host. Needs Node 18 or later, ffmpeg, and ffprobe on your machine. No npm dependencies and no API keys.
Paid: None. The skills run on your existing Claude Code or Codex session, so the cost is whatever tokens that session uses. The author runs a separate paid WeChat community, which is not required for anything.
Completely free and open source. You spend tokens from the agent plan you already have.
