hyperresearch vs ffmpeg-skill

Q: Which is better, hyperresearch or ffmpeg-skill?

By GitHub stars, hyperresearch has more community adoption, but the best choice depends on your specific use case.

hyperresearch: Hyperresearch is a deep research harness installed into Claude Code or OpenAI Codex, running a tier-adaptive 16-step pipeline that turns one prompt into an adversarially audited report with full source provenance. Every source it reads is stored in a searchable markdown-plus-SQLite vault that later sessions reuse.; 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.
