Video understanding and self-verification for AI agents. Turn videos, streams, and agent screen recordings into searchable, timestamped evidence—then use THE LOOP to inspect, fix, and verify the work. MCP, CLI, REST, local-first.
The user asks a question about a video that was already watched or indexed — "what did they say about X", "what error code appears", "what happens at 2:30", "does the video show Y". Use this to answer from the persistent index with timestamped evidence and a confidence score instead of re-watching or guessing.
The user wants to connect an LLM or vision provider, already has an API key, asks "can I use OpenAI/Anthropic/Gemini/OpenRouter", wants local Ollama, or needs different cheap and strong models. Use this to configure provider-neutral visual understanding without tying Watch Skill to one agent or model vendor.
The user wants structure pulled out of a watched video — "make chapters for this video", "where does the bug appear in this recording", "turn this screen recording into a bug report", "how strong is my intro/hook". Use this for deterministic extraction from the index — chapters with timestamps, a fileable bug report…
The user corrected an answer about a video — "no, it actually says X", "that's the wrong timestamp", "you misread the error code" — or asks why a video answer was wrong. Use this to record the correction as a lesson so future answers on similar questions improve, and to show what the system has learned and saved.
A Watch Skill command failed, video download broke, ffmpeg or yt-dlp is missing, a provider returned an error, local vision stopped, or the user asks "why can't it watch this" or "repair my setup". Use this to diagnose and apply the engine's structured fix before retrying the original operation.
The user wants to share or hand off what was found in a video — "send this analysis to my team", "make a page I can share", "export the findings", "give me something I can attach to the ticket". Use this to render a self-contained offline HTML viewer page with the frames, transcript, and every cached answer with its…
The user built or changed something visual — a UI, an animation, a game, a generated video — and wants it verified, or asks "why does my UI look wrong", "check that the fix actually worked", "does the animation glitch". Use this to record the running thing, critique the recording against plain-language pass criteria…
The user asks about videos watched in the past or across sessions — "have we watched anything about X", "which video showed that error", "what did that meeting decide", "search my videos", or a question that spans several videos. Use this to search and answer from the persistent cross-video index instead of saying you…
Watch any video (URL, stream, or local path) via Watch Skill. Downloads, extracts scene-aware deduped frames, OCRs them, transcribes (captions first, then local Whisper — offline by default), indexes everything, and hands the result to the agent. Follow-up questions are answered from the persistent index without…
The user shared a video URL, a YouTube/TikTok/stream link, a local video file, a screen recording, a meeting recording, or a playlist/folder of videos — "watch this", "summarize this video", "what's in this recording". Use this to actually watch the video — download, extract frames, OCR, transcribe, and index it …
