Workflow

How to turn it into an agent skill

Use these steps as a portable starting point for Codex, Claude Code, Kimi Code, Kimi Work, Antigravity 2.0, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and other coding agents.

1. Define the repeatable outcome

Define the repeatable outcome, inputs, output files, and quality bar.

2. Give the agent examples

Give the agent examples, naming conventions, scripts, and verification checks.

3. Run the workflow on one small asset first

Run the workflow on one small asset first, then batch it once the result is stable.

4. Review the final creative direction

Review the final creative direction, claims, captions, and publishing details before posting.

Guide

Implementation notes

Best-fit Codex workflows

Use Codex when the skill benefits from local files, scripts, deterministic checks, and repository conventions. A video workflow can combine transcript cleanup, clip planning, caption timing, FFmpeg commands, and rendered previews.

Skill structure

Write the skill as a repeatable playbook: trigger conditions, accepted inputs, output paths, required checks, and examples. Keep scripts in the skill folder when a task is mechanical, such as cropping frames, validating JSON, or exporting captions.

Verification loop

Ask Codex to verify the artifact it created: open rendered pages, inspect video metadata, check image dimensions, lint JSON, and summarize any failed checks before handoff.

FAQ

Agent Guide FAQ

Can Codex agent skills automate video editing?

Yes. A Codex skill can orchestrate scripts, transcripts, FFmpeg commands, captions, and preview checks so repeatable video editing tasks become agent-run workflows.

Can Codex generate TikTok or Instagram carousels?

Yes. A carousel skill can turn a topic into hook options, slide copy, image prompts, sourcing notes, and validation checks for the final storyboard.
