video-to-notes

video-to-notes is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from KIRVO-REPORTING/video-to-notes. It costs 101 tokens per session (1,236 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool that turns a supported video link into timestamped notes and a report based on the video's transcript. It can handle YouTube, YouTube Shorts, Bilibili, and similar video URLs.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to make notes from videos, download or translate subtitles, or extract a transcript. Reports can be saved locally or sent to configured Notion or Obsidian destinations.
Why use it?
It saves you from watching a whole video and writing down its main points yourself. The notes are tied to points in the video so you can find the source again.

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

video-to-notes 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 4d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/process_video.py, scripts/serve_dashboard.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.

Video to Notes

Turn a supported video URL into a transcript-backed report. Prefer downloadable captions; use the configured local Whisper backend only when captions are missing or unusable.

Non-negotiable behavior

  • Treat a message containing only a supported video URL as a complete request. Start the full report workflow immediately; never reply with “What do you want me to do with this link?”
  • Treat YouTube watch, Shorts, live, and youtu.be URLs equally. Preserve query parameters such as t, list, or tracking parameters when passing the URL to the processor.
  • When the user states a narrower goal such as “only download,” “only translate,” or “only extract subtitles,” perform that goal instead of forcing the full report workflow.
  • Do not ask for cookies, credentials, language, or output destination before the first safe attempt. Ask only after a concrete failure proves user input is required.
  • Respect <workspace>/config.json preferences. If no configuration exists, use local output and mention configuration only after delivering the result.
  • Read metadata.json and the complete transcript.txt before writing claims about the video.

Bare URL workflow

  1. Run video-to-notes doctor and use the workspace path it returns. Do not assume the current repository or shell directory is the video workspace. If the command is missing or doctor fails, follow references/setup.md.

  2. Process into local artifacts first, regardless of the configured publishing target:

    video-to-notes process "VIDEO_URL" --environment local
    

    This prevents an incomplete report from being published before summary.md and tags.json exist.

  3. Read the returned metadata.json and the entire transcript.txt.

  4. Follow references/reporting.md to write grounded summary.md and tags.json.

  5. Finalize only after both files are ready. Select exactly one route:

    • Local: video-to-notes finalize "VIDEO_FOLDER" --environment local
    • Notion with CLI credentials: video-to-notes finalize "VIDEO_FOLDER" --environment notion
    • Notion connector without CLI credentials: finalize with --environment local, then follow references/notion.md.
    • Obsidian: follow references/obsidian.md.
  6. Return the primary reader-facing artifact: the Notion row URL, Obsidian note path/URI, or local report.html. Include the local report as the backing archive when publishing remotely.

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.
