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

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

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.; atlas: Atlas is an open-source local-first cognitive memory system that implements AGM-compliant belief revision on a property graph. It adds a propagation engine called Ripple that recomputes downstream beliefs when an upstream fact changes. The system runs entirely on your laptop and includes a hash-chained ledger, continuous ingestion from multiple sources, and API surfaces for integration.
