video-analyse

video-analyse is a skill for Claude Code, Codex from lfurze/claude-skills. It costs 102 tokens per session (1,145 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A video-analysis workflow that extracts timestamped images and spoken-word text, then creates a structured analysis document.

In plain words
What is it for?
Summarising videos, creating meeting notes, examining what happens in a recording, and linking observations to times in the video.
Why use it?
It helps review a recording without watching the entire file manually or relying only on memory.

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-analyse 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (analyse_video.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 Analyse

Instructions

You are analysing a video file for the user. Follow these steps precisely.

Step 1: Find the video

If the user provided a path as an argument, use that. Otherwise, look for video files in the current directory:

ls -1 *.{mp4,mov,mkv,avi,webm,m4v} 2>/dev/null

If multiple videos are found, ask the user which one. If none are found, ask for a path.

Step 2: Check dependencies

Before running anything, verify the tools are available:

which ffmpeg && python3 -c "import whisper; print('whisper OK')"

If ffmpeg is missing: tell the user to run brew install ffmpeg (macOS) or apt install ffmpeg (Linux). If whisper is missing: tell the user to run pip install openai-whisper.

Step 3: Determine frame rate

The script at ~/.claude/skills/video-analyse/analyse_video.py has auto mode built in. Unless the user specified a frame rate, use --auto which selects based on duration:

Duration FPM Interval Approx frames
< 5 min 2 30s ~10
5–15 min 1 60s ~15
15–45 min 0.5 2 min ~15–22
45–90 min 0.33 3 min ~15–30
90+ min 0.2 5 min ~18–24

If the user asked for a specific rate, pass --fpm <value> instead.

Step 4: Run the extraction pipeline

python3 ~/.claude/skills/video-analyse/analyse_video.py "<video_path>" --auto

This creates a {video-stem}-analysis/ directory containing:

  • summary.md — frame index and metadata
  • transcript.md — timestamped Whisper transcript
  • frames/ — numbered JPG stills with timestamps

The script will take a while for long videos (transcription is the slow part). Let the user know it's running.

Step 5: Read all outputs

Once the script completes, read everything into context:

  1. Read {video-stem}-analysis/summary.md
  2. Read {video-stem}-analysis/transcript.md
  3. Read every frame image in {video-stem}-analysis/frames/ (use the Read tool on each .jpg — Claude can see images)

What ships with it

3 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.
