loom-analyze

loom-analyze is a skill for Claude Code from ao92265/claude-code-playbook. It costs 70 tokens per session (614 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for downloading a Loom recording, turning its speech into text, and optionally saving images from the video. Loom is a service for sharing recorded screen videos.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to transcribe Loom videos or extract visual details from recordings when the user provides a Loom share link.
Why use it?
It lets a coding agent inspect a recorded explanation without requiring the user to describe or transcribe it manually.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT variable.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

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

loom-analyze 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 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (loom-analyze.sh, setup.sh), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 51 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Loom Analyze

Local pipeline (no API key, no third-party MCP) that turns a Loom share URL into:

  1. A plain-text transcript via whisper.
  2. Optional keyframe PNGs for visual analysis when the user asks about UI / screen content.

When to invoke

  • User pastes a https://www.loom.com/share/... URL.
  • User says "transcribe", "analyze", or "watch this loom".
  • /loom-analyze <url> is typed.

How to run

The shell wrapper lives next to this file: loom-analyze.sh. Always call it through Bash.

${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude}/skills/loom-analyze/loom-analyze.sh <URL> [--model M] [--frames N] [--keep]

Flags:

  • --model base|small|medium|large — whisper accuracy/speed tradeoff. Default base (~140 MB download first time).
  • --frames N — also extract one PNG every N seconds into frames/. Skip this for transcript-only (faster).
  • --keep — keep MP4/MP3 after transcribing. Default deletes them.

Output goes to ~/Downloads/loom-transcripts/<id>/. The transcript is printed to stdout, so the agent gets it in the tool result.

Decision rules for the agent

  • Transcript-only is the fast default. Don't request frames unless the user asks about visuals, UI, screen content, or a demo walkthrough.
  • Long videos (>10 min): stick to --model base. --model small or larger only when the user specifically complains about transcript accuracy.
  • When frames are extracted: read the PNGs from ~/Downloads/loom-transcripts/<id>/frames/ via the Read tool when the user asks what's on screen at a given time. Don't bulk-read every frame; pick the ones that match the question.
  • First-time setup: if the script exits with "Missing dep", run ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude}/skills/loom-analyze/setup.sh once, then retry.

Setup (per-machine, one-time)

bash ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT:-$HOME/.claude}/skills/loom-analyze/setup.sh

Installs yt-dlp, ffmpeg, openai-whisper via Homebrew + pip. Idempotent.

For machine requirements, model disk sizes, troubleshooting, and limitations, see references/usage.md.

What ships with it

Changes

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.
