What it does
Give Claude a video URL or file. Claude downloads it, extracts the transcript and key frames (or sends it to a video AI model if you have a Gemini key), and reviews both. You get answers to your questions about what happens in the video.
Who it’s for
A good fit for people who research markets, competitors or topics and busy people who want to get organised.
Do you need to code?
Some. To get the most from this one you may need to be comfortable with code, the command line or technical setup.
How to install
Add it as a skill, or as part of its plugin. This skill also ships inside a plugin, so you can upload just this skill to Claude, or install the whole plugin it comes in. See the step-by-step guide.
Safety note
Requires installing command-line tools like yt-dlp and ffmpeg; optional paid API key for cloud transcription; downloads files to your computer.
Script files included: 11
As with any add-on, only install skills from sources you trust, and read what it does first.
