- ▌ House Style 2 · samuelgurskyThe editorial and finishing preferences this project's work is judged against — cut rhythm, shot selection, delivery conventions, and the corrections that have already been given. Load before assembling, restructuring, or refining any cut so the same note does not have to be given twice.
- ▌ Resolve MCP 2 · samuelgurskyOrientation and index for DaVinci Resolve MCP work — grading, editing, conforming, delivery, media analysis, and .drp/.drt/.drx file work, live in a running Resolve or offline with none open. Load this for a map of the domain skills, the live-vs-offline servers, and the cross-cutting safety rules. The per-domain skills (resolve-color / resolve-edit / resolve-conform / resolve-delivery / resolve-media-analysis) carry the depth and self-trigger on their own descriptions; use this as the map, or when a task spans several domains.
- ▌ Resolve Edit 2 · samuelgurskyEditing, cutting, trimming, pacing, and timeline restructuring in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when duplicating/moving clips, copying ranges, building variants, tightening or restructuring a cut, editing selects, or generating an editorial changelist/turnover — live in a running Resolve OR offline against .drt timeline files. Routes to the live edit tools, the offline editorial tools, and the project's editorial craft guidance.
- ▌ Release Check 2 · samuelgurskyWalk through a version bump and release for the DaVinci Resolve MCP server — version selection, every file that needs updating, required validation, tag, and GitHub Release.
- ▌ Resolve Audio 2 · samuelgurskyAudio and Fairlight work in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when setting audio properties, syncing audio, isolating voice, generating subtitles, planning Fairlight track/bus layouts, checking loudness, routing buses, or splitting/trimming/converting audio — live in a running Resolve OR offline. Routes to the live audio tools, the offline audio planning/bus-routing tools, and the Fairlight kernel.
- ▌ Resolve Color 2 · samuelgurskyColor grading and look work in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when grading, correcting, matching shots, developing looks, or applying/modifying LUTs, CDLs, DRX grades, or copied grades — live in a running Resolve OR offline against .drx/.drp files. Routes to the live Python color tools, the offline advanced grading/QC catalog, and the project's color craft guidance.
- ▌ Resolve Fusion 2 · samuelgurskyFusion composition work in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when building or editing Fusion comps — titles, motion graphics, VFX, merges, masks, trackers — on a timeline item live in a running Resolve OR authoring a .comp declaratively offline. Routes to the live fusion_comp tools and the offline fusion authoring tool.
- ▌ Resolve Conform 2 · samuelgurskyConforming, relinking, and finishing prep in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when importing/relinking editorial, checking a conform against a reference, repairing reversed/retimed subclips, tracing grades across a re-conform, building relink plans, or QCing a conformed timeline frame-by-frame — live in a running Resolve OR offline against .drt/.drp files and the project DB. Routes to the live conform tools, the offline conform QC engine, and the online-editor craft skill.
- ▌ Resolve Session 2 · samuelgurskyStart a Resolve working session — connect, confirm the bridge and edition, open the project, and report timeline and media-pool state before any editing begins.
- ▌ Resolve Delivery 2 · samuelgurskyDelivery, rendering, and deliverable QC in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when preparing render jobs, validating render settings, QCing a finished render against a spec (video/loudness/blanking/completeness), building or reconciling a render manifest, expanding texted/textless/stems/slate deliverables, verifying media ingest, or producing a provenance/episode report — live in a running Resolve OR offline against rendered files and the project DB. Routes to the live render tools, the offline deliverable/media/provenance tools, and the deliverables craft skills.
- ▌ Resolve Rough Cut 2 · samuelgurskyAssembling a short-form social rough cut from raw behind-the-scenes or vlog footage in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when asked for a rough cut, first cut, assembly, or "make me a timeline" from a folder of footage — day-in-the-life, BTS, process, or product-shoot material destined for Reels, TikTok, or Shorts. Covers ingest, shot finding at scale, vertical timeline setup, and gapless assembly.
- ▌ Resolve Media Pool 2 · samuelgurskyMedia pool ingest and organization in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when importing media, building multicam timelines, organizing/relinking clips, normalizing metadata, setting clip marks, or verifying/inventorying a card before ingest — live in a running Resolve OR offline. Routes to the live media_pool tools and the offline media front-end tool. For reading/analyzing footage content use resolve-media-analysis; for deliverable-side media QC use resolve-delivery.
- ▌ Resolve Media Analysis 2 · samuelgurskyMedia intelligence layer for the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Uses FFprobe, FFmpeg, and optionally Whisper to READ and ANALYZE source media — never modify, transcode, convert, or create derivatives. Provides the MCP with full context of what footage actually is so it can take informed actions within Resolve.
- ▌ Resolve Tighten Recording 2 · samuelgurskyTightening one long single-take recording — talking-head, screencast, tutorial, podcast video — by removing dead air in the DaVinci Resolve MCP. Apply when asked to tighten a recording, remove silences or dead air, cut the pauses out of a long take, or turn a raw one-take recording into a first cut. The subtractive counterpart to resolve-rough-cut, which selects shots from many clips; this skill removes time from one clip.
