Individual skill
watch-video
When you want to extract content from a video — YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Riverside, Zoom recording, local MP4, X/IG video, anything yt-dlp supports. Three depth modes user picks per invocation — transcript (just words, fast/free), visual (transcript + ffmpeg frame extraction + Claude vision pass on key moments), multimodal (Gemini native video ingestion if $GEMINI_API_KEY set, else dense Claude vision). Uses local Whisper for transcription (MLX-Whisper on Apple Silicon, faster-whisper elsewhere), falls back to platform-provided transcripts when available (Loom, Riverside, YouTube auto-subs). Saves to ~/Documents/videos/<source>-<slug>-<date>/ and optionally captures summary to second-brain raw/ as call-/meeting-/note-. Triggers on "/watch-video <url>," "watch this video," "transcribe this loom," "analyze this video," "summarize this recording," "key moments from this," "what happened in this video." For a post's text and engagement, use social-fetch.

# /watch-video — Transcribe and analyze any video at the depth you choose
Replaces and broadens the prior `youtube-transcript` skill. YouTube is now one of many sources; depth is user-controlled.
## Step 1 — Parse input
Accept:
- **YouTube**: full URL, `youtu.be/<id>`, `youtube.com/shorts/<id>`, raw 11-char ID
- **Loom**: `loom.com/share/<id>` or `loom.com/embed/<id>`
- **Vimeo**: `vimeo.com/<id>`
- **Riverside**: download URL or local file
- **Zoom**: local `.mp4` from a downloaded recording
- **X / IG / TikTok video**: URL — defers to `social-fetch` for metadata, uses yt-dlp for the file
- **Local file**: any path to an `.mp4` / `.mov` / `.webm` / `.mkv`
