watch-n-learn: Instructions file for Claude Code

AGENTS.md

watch-n-learn AGENTS.md is an instructions file for Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode from axel-pm/watch-n-learn. It costs 628 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MIT.

Repository instructions for Watch & Learn, a tool that turns a how-to video into reusable instructions for an AI coding agent. It explains the repository contents, installation, and agent-specific setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use them when working on Watch & Learn or converting a local tutorial video into a reusable agent skill.
Why use it?
They help an agent understand how the video-to-skill workflow works and how to install or use it correctly.

Instructions file for Claude CodeCodexOpenCode

Written for Claude Code and Codex and OpenCode: Claude Code plugin machinery, but also the file is AGENTS.md. Also seen: mentions subagents; mentions Claude Code; mentions AGENTS.md.

This is axel-pm/watch-n-learn's own configuration. It tells Claude Code, Codex and OpenCode how to work on watch-n-learn itself, so it is not a mod to install elsewhere. Copy it as a starting point and replace the rules that are about this project. Everything watch-n-learn configures →

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

watch-n-learn AGENTS.md scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

AGENTS.md — using Watch & Learn with any AI coding agent

This file is a short guide for AI coding agents (and the people running them). Watch & Learn is packaged as a Claude Code plugin, but the skill inside it is written in an open format that several other agents understand too. Here's how to use it wherever you work.

What's in this repo

  • skills/watch-and-learn/ — the skill itself: a SKILL.md (plain instructions), a couple of Python scripts, and some reference notes. This folder is the portable part. Everything else is packaging.

The skill takes a how-to video and turns it into a reusable skill your agent can follow later. It watches the video locally (still frames plus a transcript), writes up the procedure, and checks that the result actually works.

Install, by agent

Claude Code — install it as a plugin:

/plugin marketplace add axel-pm/watch-n-learn
/plugin install watch-and-learn@wnl

OpenAI Codex, and other agents that read the open skill format — copy (or symlink) the skill folder into the place that agent looks for skills. For Codex and several others, that's an .agents/skills/ folder in your project or home directory:

git clone https://github.com/axel-pm/watch-n-learn
mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills
cp -R watch-n-learn/skills/watch-and-learn ~/.agents/skills/

Any other agent — you can still use it. Point your agent at skills/watch-and-learn/SKILL.md and tell it to follow the steps. The instructions are plain Markdown and the scripts are plain Python, so nothing is locked to one vendor.

What it needs to run

  • Python 3 on the machine.
  • A one-time setup the first time: bash skills/watch-and-learn/scripts/install-tools.sh. This installs the local video tools (for reading frames and transcribing audio) into ~/.video-watch-tools. It needs internet once, and downloads a ~150MB transcription model on first use. After that it runs offline for local video files.
  • No API keys, no paid services.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
