videoanalyzer CLAUDE.md

Project-opening instructions for a Claude Code skill that turns social-media videos into structured reports about their content. They also describe checking required tools and an API key before setup.

In plain words
What is it for?
Preparing the video-analysis skill, checking dependencies and API access, and guiding installation when something is missing.
Why use it?
They make setup steps explicit and identify missing video tools or credentials before the skill is used.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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

videoanalyzer CLAUDE.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 2d 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.

video-analyze — Claude Code Skill

This is the setup repository for the video-analyze Claude Code skill. It reverse-engineers any social media video into a structured content intelligence report.

What You Do When This Project Is Opened

When someone opens this repo in Claude Code, run the following sequence automatically — do not wait for them to ask.


Step 1: Run the preflight check

python scripts/setup.py --check
  • Exit 0: all dependencies are installed and an API key is configured. Skip to the "Ready" section below.
  • Exit 2: binaries missing (yt-dlp / ffmpeg / ffprobe).
  • Exit 3: API key missing.
  • Exit 4: both binaries and API key missing.

If exit is non-zero, proceed to Step 2.


Step 2: Run the installer

Tell the user: "Running install.py to set up your dependencies and install the skill."

Run:

python install.py

Show the full output. If install.py exits with a non-zero code, surface the exact error and stop — do not proceed past a failed install.

Note for Windows: after winget installs binaries, a terminal restart is required for the new PATH to take effect. If the installer warns about this, tell the user to close and reopen their terminal, then re-run python install.py.

Note for Linux: install.py will print manual install commands and exit. Guide the user through running them, then ask them to re-run python install.py once done.


Step 3: Check the API key

After the installer finishes, run:

python scripts/setup.py --json

Parse the JSON output. If has_api_key is false, tell the user:

"The skill is installed. Transcription is optional — without a key, videos with native captions still get a full transcript, but videos without captions come back frames-only.

To enable transcription for caption-less videos:

  1. Open ~/.config/watch/.env
  2. Add your key: GROQ_API_KEY=your_key_here

Get a free Groq key at console.groq.com/keys."

If has_api_key is true, confirm which backend is active and move on.

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.
