Individual skill
claude-real-video
Watch a video for the user. Use when the user shares a video URL (YouTube etc.) or local video file and wants it summarized, analyzed, or discussed — Claude can't ingest video directly, so this skill extracts scene-aware keyframes + transcript first, then reads those.

# claude-real-video — let Claude actually watch a video
## When to use
The user gives you a video (URL or file path) and asks what's in it, to summarize it, to analyze its structure, or to answer questions about it.

## Steps
1. Run the extractor (add `--grid` to cut image count ~9x — recommended):
