3An edit decision list from a timestamped transcript. It prints the cuts. You apply them.

11track YouTube generates on an unlisted upload all work. Do not guess at timings.

13## What it finds
14 
15- **DEAD** - gaps longer than the floor, trimmed from the MIDDLE so both sides keep a breath.
16  Cutting flush against speech is what makes a tightened take sound gasping.
17- **FILLER** - cues that are nothing but "um", "so yeah", "basically".
18- **REPEAT** - a sentence restarted. Compared against the last cue that was actually speech, not
19  the literal previous cue, because most retakes have an "um" between the two attempts.

21## What it will not do
22 
23It does not touch media. It has no opinion about your B-roll. A 40% cut on the report is a 40% cut
24of SPEECH, and if the video has a long silent demo in it that number is wrong - check the report
25against the footage before you trust the runtime at the bottom.

27## The gate
28 
29Nothing here publishes. This skill writes and you publish. Every output ends in a block the user
30copies, and the last line of every run is the question: **ship it, or change it?**
