Lots of people are posting “Claude edited my video,” nobody is posting a skill family that compounds. I created a system that incorporates every new skill you download from X and cascades the capabilities into each video format skill as needed. This is how you grow an arsenal of video editing formats one copy paste at a time. I call it the Video Editor Hivemind. The first version was built by scouring X for the best and most shared Claude video editing capabilities and folding them into one skill. That skill holds everything that’s the same across all my videos: how the tools behave, how I deliver, how I check quality, what I like. One small skill per format (long form, shorts, ads) holds only what’s different about that format and loads the Hivemind first. So the next capability someone posts goes into the Hivemind once and every format is running it the next time it opens. A plain log on my drive catches every lesson the moment it happens and gets folded back in. Proof, this LSN episode: Claude read the transcript against my script and kept the last clean take of every line, cut 29 minutes of raw to 17, placed every screenshot and clip on the exact word I say it, built the intro and outro, laid in music, dropped chapter markers, ran the audio pass, pushed it to Frame.io for my notes, then cut 10 vertical shorts from the finished episode as their own sequences. My editor took it the last 10 percent. Because the edit is mostly done the day I shoot, I publish more, more videos bring in more revenue, and he’s getting more hours on the clock, not fewer. If it keeps going this way he gets promoted to producer and I hire a junior editor under him. The Hivemind, a blank format template, and my real long form and shorts skills as worked examples are on GitHub: github.com/emmett007/video-e…
