Turn Long YouTube Videos Into Ranked Short Clips (Claude Cowork Self-Install Kit)

One upload in, a ranked queue of ready-to-post clips out.

You record 45 minutes and then spend longer than the recording hunting for the 30 seconds worth cutting. So the long-form goes up, nothing gets repurposed, and the Reels and TikTok versions never happen.

The leak isn't your long-form output. It's that finding the moment costs more than posting it, so every recording you make gets used once and then goes quiet.

What this kit does

The kit sends your upload to Opus Clip, which reads the whole thing, scores every segment for hook strength and retention, and returns captioned vertical clips ranked by viral likelihood. You paste the YouTube URL and get a clip queue back, with no editing software in the loop.

What you can expect

One recording session turns into 10 to 20 platform-ready short clips, and the ranked order tells you which to post first. You get back 2 to 5 hours a week you'd have spent scrubbing long-form for clip moments, and the queue comes back in under 10 minutes.

Who it's for

Built for content creators, coaches and consultants, and agencies sitting on long-form that deserves a second life. This is a self-install kit you run yourself with your own AI agent, built for Claude Cowork first.

What's included

Skip building from scratch. No coding. You get the complete kit your own AI agent reads, sets up, and runs for you, step by step:

• A Start Here guide, so you know exactly what to open first
• The agent install instructions, the part that lets your own AI agent stand the workflow up for you
• A guided setup that interviews you about your business, so the workflow fits how you actually work
• Workflow Briefing: the plan, the inputs, and what done looks like
• Task List your agent follows to build it
• MCP Connection Guide for the tools involved
• Tool Setup notes for accounts, keys, and permissions
• Prompt Library, including the ready-to-run prompt for this workflow
• Troubleshooting and maintenance guide for the common snags
• A Next Steps and Roadmap, so you know what to automate next once this one is running
• A Run Guide you keep, so you can run it any time with no setup again

This one's free, and it's a real kit, not a teaser. You keep it, you run it on every long-form you publish, and the Next Steps and Roadmap inside points you at what to automate once this one is running.

What you'll need (not included)

The kit is the workflow, the prompts, and the setup guide. It does not include the tool subscriptions it runs on. You'll need your own Claude with Cowork account and an Opus Clip account. Those are billed by the tools themselves, not by us.

You'll also need your Claude account on Cowork's Pro plan or higher, so your agent can connect your tools and use the most capable model while it installs the workflow.

Not on Claude? The kit is plain files that describe what to achieve rather than which buttons to press, so a capable AI agent on another platform, like ChatGPT Work, can follow the same steps. If anything doesn't map to your setup, email support and we'll get you working.

How to install this kit

Connect Opus Clip to Claude using the MCP Connection Guide in the kit and authorize your account. Open the kit in Claude Cowork, run the included prompt, and paste in a video you already know has a good moment in it. Step-by-step instructions ship inside every kit, so you're never guessing. See How Self-Install Kits Work for the full walkthrough.

Install once, not every month

If you've been pricing video repurposing software, this is the install-it-once alternative. You set it up yourself with your own AI agent and keep it, with no monthly seat. Add it to your cart, open it in Claude Cowork, and turn your last upload into a week of shorts.
