# Video talk to essay

Write a technical article people can read alongside the talk, not a polished report about what the speaker argued. Preserve the recording's progression, mechanisms and personality; improve the explanation without inventing evidence. Keep detailed provenance private and the reader experience uncluttered.

Apply `swyx-writing` as the shared voice and editing layer and
`research-grounded-writing` for external research, attribution, and claim
verification. This skill owns the transcript, chronology, timestamp, code, and
visual rules specific to recorded talks.

## Inputs and boundaries

Obtain the source video URL or local video, transcript, and any authoritative title, speaker, event, and date metadata. Prefer timestamped segments containing `startMs`, `endMs`, speaker label, and text.

Use available video descriptions and metadata to seed research, especially project, slide and notebook links. Fetch missing metadata separately from the recording so research need not wait for a full video download.
