Agentic video understanding

Agentic video understanding is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills. It costs 77 tokens per session (963 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A goal-directed tool for finding specific moments, quotes, objections, hooks, or evidence in long videos and audio recordings. It can use video frames, sound, or a transcript instead of processing everything equally.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to mine sales calls, podcasts, YouTube episodes, Loom recordings, and discovery calls for timestamps and supporting quotes.
Why use it?
It helps extract only relevant evidence from long recordings when a full recording review would take too much time or cost.

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

Agentic video understanding 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 10d 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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 95 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Agentic video understanding

Hireable understanding layer. The model takes a goal and decides what to watch, at what speed, and through which modality (frames, audio, transcript), fetching only the moments needed. Vendor claims: up to ~66% lower cost and ~88% fewer tokens vs static fixed-FPS ingest, with higher accuracy.

What this is / is not

Is: goal → watch only what you need → timestamps + quotes + confidence.

Is not: a video editor. Do not cut, overlay, caption-burn, render, schedule, post, email, or write CRM from this skill. Hand cuts to Overlap, FFmpeg, or net-new-video-editor. Approvals stay with the calling lane.

When to use

  • Pre-call / sales-call mining: buyer objection, next step, competitive mention
  • Shortform scoring: find a 3-second standalone hook and in/out points
  • Longform / X research: named-person + contrast moments in podcast or YouTube tape
  • Talent review: bar evidence in a Loom or trial recording
  • Client audit: every mention of a keyword across a discovery recording

Skip when the job is already a clean transcript and you only need text search.

Inputs

Field Required Notes
source yes URL or local media path the runtime can read
goal yes One sentence retrieval goal
keywords no Extra strings to bias retrieval
max_moments no Default 5
modality no auto (default), frames, audio, or transcript

Process

  1. Restate the goal as 1–3 retrieval queries. Done when each query is falsifiable (you would know if a moment matched).
  2. Call Gemini agentic video understanding (Gemini API or AI Studio) with source, queries, max_moments, and modality preference. Prefer the agentic path over fixed-FPS full ingest when available. Done when the API returns candidate windows or an explicit empty set.
  3. Normalize moments into the output schema below. Flag paraphrase vs verbatim. Drop fabricated timestamps. Done when every kept moment has t_start, t_end, modality, quote, why, confidence.
  4. Stop and hand off to the caller. Do not cut, overlay, schedule, publish, email, or CRM-write.

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.
