About watch

watch
Watch a video (URL or local path)
watch is a Claude Code skill that lets an agent watch a video from a URL or a local file path. It downloads the video with yt-dlp, extracts frames with ffmpeg at a scale chosen automatically for the length of the video, and gets a transcript. The transcript comes from the video's native captions when they exist, and otherwise from a chosen local or cloud transcription backend such as WhisperX. There are two engines. With the gemini engine, which needs a GEMINI_API_KEY, Google's video model watches the video and the report includes a timestamped answer for the agent to relay. With the local engine, the script produces timestamped frames and a transcript, and the agent views the frames and answers from that evidence. The skill is strict about one point: a transcript alone cannot establish visual facts, so anything about what appears on screen must come from the frames or the video model. The commands use python3 on macOS and Linux, and on Windows the skill asks you to check for Python 3.10 or later. It is installed with npx skills from the bradautomates/claude-video repository, and its security audits show Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket passing, with Snyk showing a warning.
