bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • It carries the browser-use insight into a new medium - give the LLM a structured representation, a transcript plus an on-demand composite rather than a 30,000-frame firehose, and editing becomes a reasoning task instead of a vision-bandwidth problem.
  • It ships as a skill you register with Claude Code, Codex, or any shell agent, so the editing craft travels with the agent rather than living locked inside a separate app.
  • It closes its own loop - the agent self-evaluates the rendered output at every cut boundary and re-renders until it passes, so you only see work that already checked itself.

under the hood

  • Layer one is an ElevenLabs Scribe transcript with word-level timestamps, speaker diarization, and audio events, packed into a roughly 12KB markdown file that serves as the agent’s primary reading surface.
  • Layer two is a timeline view, an on-demand filmstrip plus waveform plus word-label composite the agent renders only at ambiguous decision points.
  • A Transcribe to Pack to Reason to EDL to Render to Self-Eval pipeline on FFmpeg, with filler-word cuts, automatic color grading, 30ms audio fades, burned subtitles, and session memory persisted to project.md.
