A fenced bash/python block in SKILL.md carries a natural-language imperative — "now run this", "execute the following command" — directing the agent to execute the fenced content. What looks like documentation becomes an executable payload the agent may run without ever asking you.

Use mcp-video when an agent needs a structured video-editing surface instead of hand-writing FFmpeg commands. It exposes MCP tools, a Python client, and a CLI for editing, analysis, subtitles, audio, Hyperframes, and local repurposing workflows.
