ndi-docs

ndi-docs is a skill for Claude Code from damionrashford/media-os. It costs 200 tokens per session (2,350 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

An official-documentation lookup tool for NDI, a technology for sending video, audio, and related data over networks. It searches and fetches pages from Vizrt's NDI documentation and the DistroAV project.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to look up NDI APIs, network ports, HDR and HX3 support, SDK capabilities, or NDI integration with OBS Studio.
Why use it?
It helps verify technical details instead of relying on memory or incomplete search results. This is useful for checking ports, SDK differences, supported features, and current NDI terminology.

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

ndi-docs 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 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/ndidocs.py), 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 — 198 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

NDI Docs

Context: $ARGUMENTS

Quick start

  • Find an NDI API / feature / spec detail: → Step 2 (search --query <term>)
  • Read the full section for a topic: → Step 3 (section --page <page> --id <anchor>)
  • Grab a whole doc page: → Step 4 (fetch --page <name>)
  • Prime cache for offline use: → Step 5 (index)

When to use

  • User asks "what port does NDI use?" or "what's NDI|HX?" or "does NDI 6 support HDR?"
  • Need to verify a wire-protocol detail before recommending config (mDNS 5353, TCP 5960, streams 5961+).
  • Need the exact SDK-vs-Advanced-SDK feature matrix (routing, multicast, access-control, compressed passthrough).
  • Need the official NDI 6 / HX3 / Agilex 7 feature list before claiming support.
  • Need to cite the canonical docs.ndi.video URL.
  • Integrating NDI with OBS → check DistroAV (not "obs-ndi" — that repo was renamed/forked).

Step 1 — Know the page catalog

The script only works against a fixed list of known docs.ndi.video pages plus the DistroAV GitHub README. Get the list:

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/ndidocs.py list-pages

Common picks:

Question Page
"Which NDI SDK do I need?" sdk-landing
"What changed in NDI 6?" tech-ndi6
"Release notes / version history" sdk-release-notes
"Which ports does NDI use?" sdk-port-numbers
"Does NDI support HDR? PQ / HLG?" sdk-hdr
"SDK vs Advanced SDK differences" faq-sdk-vs-advanced
"OBS + NDI setup" distroav
"NDI docs root / landing" docs-root

Read references/pages.md for the full catalog + use-cases.


Step 2 — Search first

When the user names an NDI feature / port / flag / function, search across all pages:

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/ndidocs.py search --query "multicast" --limit 5

When you know the page, scope it (faster, less noise):

uv run ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/ndidocs.py search --query "5960" --page sdk-port-numbers

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

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.
