video-memory

video-memory is a skill for Claude Code from oxbshw/watch-skill. It costs 70 tokens per session (524 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A persistent library for finding and answering questions about videos watched on the computer. It stores video frames, text found in images, transcripts, and previous answers across sessions.

In plain words
What is it for?
Finding phrases or topics across videos, identifying what appears at a timestamp, and answering questions that combine information from several videos or meetings.
Why use it?
It avoids rewatching videos or relying on memory when information is spread across recordings.

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-memory 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 6d 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.

What it actually says

Video memory

Every video ever watched on this machine is still here — frames, OCR, transcripts, and past answers, in one persistent index under ~/.watch-skill/. You never have to say "I don't remember that video." Sessions don't expire it; watching more videos makes it more useful.

What's in the library?

watch-skill list

Every indexed video: id, title, duration, when it was analyzed. Check here before watching anything — it may already be in memory from a previous session.

Find something across all of it

watch-skill search "<phrase or keywords>"

Hybrid keyword + semantic search across every video, any language (Arabic folding, CJK and Thai segmentation are handled). Hits come back with video + timestamp; follow up on a hit with:

watch-skill ask <video_id> "<the user's actual question>"
watch-skill ask <video_id> "what is on screen at <timestamp>?"

Questions that span videos

"What did we decide about the pricing page across those meetings?" — questions no single video answers go to the library synthesizer:

watch-skill library ask "<the question>"

It answers from distilled notes across every indexed video, drills into real evidence, and cites video + timestamp for each finding. When it says the library does not clearly answer, trust that — do not stitch a guess together from weak search hits. watch-skill library overview shows what the library knows (videos, note counts, entities recurring across videos).

For "which video showed X" (locate, not synthesize), plain search is the right tool; then ask the hit video.

Batches build memory fast

A playlist or a folder of recordings goes in as one call — watch-skill batch "<playlist-or-folder>" — and the whole set becomes searchable memory (see watching-videos).

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.

video-memory is a skill published in the GitHub repository oxbshw/watch-skill (333 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 70 tokens to every session and 524 once invoked, about $0.0003 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
