Also activate when processing multiple YouTube URLs in batch. Do NOT use for non-YouTube video platforms, local video files, or audio-only podcast URLs.

watch-video

When you want to extract content from a video — YouTube, Loom, Vimeo, Riverside, Zoom recording, local MP4, X/IG video, anything yt-dlp supports. Three depth modes user picks per invocation — transcript (just words, fast/free), visual (transcript + ffmpeg frame extraction + Claude vision pass on key moments), multimodal (Gemini native video ingestion if $GEMINI_API_KEY set, else dense Claude vision). Uses MLX-Whisper local on Mac for transcription, falls back to platform-provided transcripts when available (Loom, Riverside, YouTube auto-subs). Saves to ~/Documents/videos/<source>-<slug>-<date>/ and optionally captures summary to second-brain raw/ as call-/meeting-/note-. Triggers on "/watch-video <url>," "watch this video," "transcribe this loom," "analyze this video," "summarize this recording," "key moments from this," "what happened in this video." This skill replaces and broadens the prior youtube-transcript skill.
