Example workflow with illustrative content and results.

  • Start from a reference you chose

    Save a reel you love. Ask your AI to identify its structure and draft your own take in your voice.

  • Finished edits from your clips

    Hand off cuts, captions, sound and motion graphics. Watch the result and ask for changes before you post.

  • Posting from the chat

    Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and LinkedIn. You say go, it schedules.

  • A next step from your results

    Ask what stands out in the available metrics, then choose one change to test next.

How it works

You save a reel. Your agent does the rest

Your agent is in charge: Claude, ChatGPT or any other. The free skills teach it how to make videos. The FavStash connector gives it your saves, your accounts and your results.

  1. 01

    Save a reel you love

    You

    Spot a reel that works? Share it to FavStash from Instagram, TikTok or YouTube.

  2. 02

    It breaks the reel down

    Your agent

    Your agent finds it and reads the available transcript, hook and notes. Ask which parts of the structure you could adapt.

  3. 03

    It makes it yours

    Your agent

    It adapts the idea to your topic and voice, writes hooks to test and a script you can film.

  4. 04

    It edits your clips

    Your agent

    It cuts your takes, adds captions, sound and motion graphics, and checks the video at phone size.

    It learns from the results

    Your agent

    It compares the metrics your platforms provide and suggests a change to test in your next post.

What it learns

The free skills teach it what pro editors know

These rules live inside the skills. Your agent follows them on every edit, so you never have to learn them.

  • Hooks that stop the scroll

    It uses your references to draft opening lines in your voice. Choose one to test rather than copying another creator's wording.

  • One clear story

    Hook, proof, a twist, then the payoff. Every line gives people a reason to keep watching.

  • No boring bits

    It cuts retakes and dead air, shows proof right after the promise, and changes the picture when the story moves.

  • Safe zones

    Text stays where the app leaves space, away from the like button, your name and the caption.

  • Captions you can read

    Big words, one or two lines, timed to your voice, never over your face.

  • Motion graphics

    Moving charts, steps and text when a picture explains it faster than words.

  • Sound that fits

    A click when something is clicked, a pop when something appears. Music gets quiet when you talk.

  • It checks its own work

    It watches the finished file at phone size and checks the sound before you ever see it.

Editing styles

Multiple editing styles, ready on day one

Your agent picks the style that fits your clips, or you choose. Each style is a free skill, and your own look always wins.

  • Adaptive glass style: three frames from an edited reel

    Adaptive glass

    adaptive-glass

    You talking, with your real screen proof in glass panels. Best for product and tool videos.

  • Paper grid style: three frames from an edited reel

    Paper grid

    paper-grid

    A clean grid above you, one moving card for every line. Best for explaining tools.

  • Breakout card style: three frames from an edited reel

    Breakout card

    breakout-card

    Your head pops out of a card, with big one-word captions. Best for talking-head tips.

  • Text over footage style: three frames from an edited reel

    Text over footage

    text-over-footage

    One line of text over clips that match it. Best for jokes and quick stories.

  • Clean talking head

    No style on top: tight full-camera cuts with readable captions. Best for personal stories.

  • Your own look

    Give it your fonts and colors, or a reel you love, and it follows them in every edit.

Previews are frames from real reels made with the skills, with the speaker replaced by a placeholder.

10-minute setup

Set up in 10 minutes: you paste, your AI does the rest

Five steps. You do the easy parts: copy, paste, click Allow.

  1. 01

    Open your AI app

    You · ~1 min

    Use Claude Code (in the Claude desktop app or your terminal), Codex (sign in with your ChatGPT account), OpenClaw or Hermes. It must run on the computer where your videos are.

  2. 02

    Paste the prompt

    You · ~1 min

    Copy the prompt below, paste it into the chat and press Enter. That's the only thing you type.

    The setup prompt
    Set up FavStash creator skills for my short-form workflow.
Clone https://github.com/alisadiq-ai/favstash-ai-video-editing-skills and follow:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/alisadiq-ai/favstash-ai-video-editing-skills/main/INSTALL_FOR_AGENTS.md

Install all eight skills and the local media tools they need in my workspace.
Check whether FavStash is connected; if not, connect it with the FavStash CLI
(Codex or Claude Code) or guide me through sign-in. Verify the setup, then tell
me how to start my first reel.
  3. 03

    Let it install

    Your AI · ~6 min

    It downloads 8 skills and free video tools (FFmpeg and HyperFrames), then makes a tiny test video to prove it works. If it asks, click Allow.

  4. 04

    Sign in to FavStash

    You · ~1 min

    A browser window opens. Sign in (it's free) and click Allow. That's the connector. Skip it if you only want editing.

  5. 05

    Link your accounts

    You · ~1 min

    Connect Instagram, TikTok, YouTube or LinkedIn inside FavStash. Only needed for posting and results.

Done. Now make your first reel

Try saying
  • “Find 3 reels I saved that I could make my own version of.”
  • “Break down this reel and write 3 hooks for my idea in my voice.”
  • “Edit these clips into a 30-second reel with captions.”
  • “Post it Friday at 6pm on Instagram and TikTok.”
  • “Which of my last 10 videos kept people watching longest?”
Stuck? If your AI says it can’t run commands, you’re in a web chat. Open Claude Code, Codex, OpenClaw or Hermes on your computer and paste the prompt there.
Prefer to install it yourself? The GitHub repo has manual steps and a Claude plugin.
The payoff

Get your editing hours back. Know what to test next.

Your agent prepares an edit for review and helps compare the results your platforms provide. You decide what to change and what to publish.

Your weekly workload

How much work could you hand off?

Editing and posting you could hand off:

7.5 hours every week

6 h of editing + 1.5 h of posting. That's about 33 hours a month.

Set it to your week

3 videos
2 hours
3 channels

An estimate from your numbers: your editing time plus about 10 minutes to post to each channel. This is work you could delegate, not guaranteed time saved. Setup, rendering, revisions and your review still take time.

Your analyst

See what the results suggest testing next

ExamplePeople left here: weak hook
  • Finds the second people leave, from YouTube retention curves
  • Compares watch time, average view and skip rate on Instagram
  • Suggests a hook, pacing or payoff change to test
  • Picks one change to test in your next video

Retention curves are available for YouTube videos posted through FavStash. Instagram watch time and skip rate appear when Meta provides them; TikTok shares views, likes, comments and shares.

Your agent does the work. You choose the direction.
