What it is

Plans a vertical crop for a horizontal clip: key subject position per shot, the safe area, and where to re-frame. It produces a plan and a crop specification rather than rendering — which is the honest boundary, because a bad crop is obvious to a human in one second.

Install

Clone the repository, then copy the skill folder into your agent's skills directory — ~/.claude/skills/ for Claude Code. Skills are plain files: no build step, no daemon.

Terminal
npx skills add vertical-crop

How to judge it

Read the SKILL.md before you install. A good skill states when it applies, what it must not do, and how to verify the result. A skill that only lists adjectives will change the agent's tone without improving its output — skip those.
