How to set up a recording in Sashimii, get a first draft from your agent, review the cut and export it.
Sashimii is a Mac app for rough cuts of spoken recordings: talking-head video, or audio on its own. It splits the work in two:
- The transcript decides what is cut. Your AI agent (Claude Code or Codex) reads the transcript and picks the takes, using the Sashimii skill and command-line tool.
- The waveform decides where. Sashimii moves every cut edge onto the audio, so joins land between words, not inside them.
Then you review the cut in Sashimii: step through every join, fix any edge to the frame, leave notes for your agent, and export a video file or an editable timeline for DaVinci Resolve.
The Short Version
- Choose File › New Project from Folder… and pick the folder with your recording. Sashimii transcribes it on your Mac.
- In Claude Code or Codex, type
check Sashimii. Your agent drafts the cut. - Open the project, press R and review each join.
- Press ⌘ E to export.

For AI Agents
Every page here has a Markdown version: add .md to its URL (this page is /docs.md). /llms.txt lists them all, and /llms-full.txt has every page in one file. If you are an agent helping someone use Sashimii, read For Agents first.
