cutcli cookbook
Cookbook, JSON templates and prompts for cutcli, a CapCut/Jianying draft CLI, to generate editable drafts from code or an MCP agent.
How to set it up
- Install cutcli per docs.cutcli.com.
- Clone the cookbook and copy an example folder.
- Run it to produce a CapCut draft, then open it in CapCut.
This is a plain-English summary of the project's own instructions. Commands and versions change, so always follow the current README at the source link.
Safety notes
- cutcli uses a cloud API key (saved once per README).
General rule: open a duplicate of your project before letting any agent make changes, and read what a script does before approving it.
