origin vs ffmpeg-skill

origin: Origin provides a local memory and knowledge system for AI workflows, enabling agents to recall past context, capture decisions and lessons, and distill them into versioned wiki pages. It uses hybrid retrieval (vector + FTS + graph) and git versioning for auditable, refreshable context.; ffmpeg-skill: ffmpeg-skill is an Agent Skill and MCP server that lets Claude Code, Cursor, Codex or any MCP client edit video with local FFmpeg. It teaches a probe → edit → check → verify workflow and ships 42 tools for cutting, silence removal, captions, reframing, loudness and delivery checks, using only the Python standard library and no cloud or API keys.
