Watch

mathiaschu/watch

Watch a video from YouTube, Instagram, X/Twitter, Vimeo, TikTok or any of ~1800 yt-dlp sites (or a local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or local mlx-whisper fallback, no API key), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take mathiaschu/watch from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.

Install what it needs

The instructions reference pip. Without those the skill loads but fails at the first command.
