What ReadyToEdit reads

What it takes from GitHub, Google Drive, uploads and social accounts, the file limits, and what it does not connect to.

What each connection reads

Everything below is read-only unless it says otherwise, and you choose what to connect for each project.

SourceWhat it readsWhat it leaves alone
GitHubCommit history, through a GitHub App on the repositories you choose: each commit’s message, SHA, author and time. When you connect, it reads the last 50 commits of each repository, and new pushes arrive as they happen.Diffs, pull requests, issues and the code itself.
Google DriveA folder link you paste, or files you pick. The files stay in your Drive, and the handoff links your editor to the originals. To transcribe and describe a video it reads a temporary copy, which is deleted afterwards. Transcription stops at 2 GB a file. Paste the folder link again to pick up new files.It keeps no copy of the file, and Drive sharing still decides who can open an original.
UploadsVideo (mp4, mov, webm) and images (png, jpg, webp) up to 500 MB each; documents (PDF, Markdown, plain text) up to 25 MB each.Audio-only files, so a podcast feed is not material yet.
Social accountsYour past posts on YouTube, TikTok, X, Instagram and LinkedIn, and their comments if you turn that on.It never posts, replies or schedules on these. You paste a draft there yourself and press Mark as posted.
Bluesky and MastodonConnect an account once per project. After you confirm the exact thread, it posts the draft’s text there, then reads its likes, replies and reposts about a day, a week and a month later.Video. It posts text only, and nothing is sent until you confirm.
Your AI agentDocuments your agent sends when you ask it to, over MCP: the full text, attached to the Piece you name. Sending the same file to the same Piece again replaces it.Everything else on your computer or in your repository. It receives only the text the agent sends.

What it does with a recording

It transcribes the speech and describes what is on screen, so a line of a script can cite a timecode and you can search your footage for a moment instead of rewatching it.

A description can miss a detail. A cited moment always carries its timecode so you can look, and a suggested clip is worth playing before you keep it.

What it does not connect to

There is no GitLab, Bitbucket, Perforce, Linear, Notion, Frame.io, Dropbox, Discord or Reddit connection. GitHub is the only repository host; for anything else, upload the changelog or the notes, or have your AI agent send them.

It never runs or opens what you build. It reads what you wrote and recorded about it.
