# watch Answers questions about a video or audio file, summarizes it, locates scenes and pulls quotes with timestamps. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 1700 installs · ★ 146 - Author: diffusionstudio - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/diffusionstudio/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/watch/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-22 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/diffusionstudio-watch ## What it does The `watch` skill wires your agent into Diffusion Studio so it can work through footage: find a moment from a description, recap a recording, pull lines, check a claim about what a file contains. Video and audio both. The guidance ships inside the Diffusion Studio app, so it matches the version you have installed. Docs sit in the app bundle — `Diffusion Studio.app/Contents/Resources/docs` on macOS, `%LOCALAPPDATA%\DiffusionStudio\app-\resources\docs` on Windows. Start at `skills/watch.md` and follow it for the session; it links to the tool reference and prompt guides in the same folder. Tools run through the `diffusion` CLI (alias `dapi`). Doc names are MCP tool names, and each maps to a command: `grab` is `diffusion grab`, while `diffusion --help` lists the options. Connected MCP tools behave the same way. Keep the app in the background with `diffusion open --background` and surface the result with `diffusion window show`. If `diffusion` or the app is missing, the skill points you at `references/installation.md` — worth checking before you start. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add diffusionstudio/skills --skill watch -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/watch/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/watch/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add diffusionstudio/skills --skill watch -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/watch/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add diffusionstudio/skills --skill watch -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/watch/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install diffusionstudio/skills watch ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/watch/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add diffusionstudio/skills --skill watch -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/diffusionstudio/skills --path skills/watch ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/watch/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add diffusionstudio/skills --skill watch -a opencode ``` ### Claude.ai **Claude.ai** - Zip the folder and upload it in Settings → Capabilities → Skills Where a file is given instead of a command, copy the files from the source to that path: https://github.com/diffusionstudio/skills/tree/HEAD/skills/watch/SKILL.md ## When to use it - find a scene by description in a long recording - summarize a webinar or interview - pull quotes with their timestamps - verify what a file actually says - describe what happens in footage and when ## Example prompts - Watch this video and find the moment where the settings panel appears - Give me a short recap of the meeting recording - Pull every line about the budget with timestamps ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE d6242711ce882c26 ```text --- name: watch description: >- Watch and understand footage with Diffusion Studio: answer questions about a video or audio file, summarize it, find scenes and moments, pull quotes, and describe what happens and when. Use whenever the user asks what's in a piece of footage, wants a summary or recap, wants to locate a moment ("where does X happen", "find the scene where..."), or needs a claim about a video or audio file checked. --- The guidance for this skill ships with the Diffusion Studio app, so it always matches the installed version. Read it from there and trust it over memory; it belongs to the app, so never edit it. The docs live inside the app bundle at `Diffusion Studio.app/Contents/Resources/docs` (usually under `/Applications`); on Windows, at `%LOCALAPPDATA%\DiffusionStudio\app-\resources\docs`. Start with `skills/watch.md` and follow it for the rest of the session. It links to the tool reference and prompt guides in the same folder. Use the tools through the `diffusion` CLI (alias `dapi`). The docs use MCP tool names, and each one is a command: `grab` is `diffusion grab`, and `diffusion --help` lists its options. If the MCP tools are connected, they work the same. Work with the app in the background (`diffusion open --background`), then show the result with `diffusion window show`. If `diffusion` or the app is missing, read [installation.md](references/installation.md). ``` END THIRD-PARTY FILE d6242711ce882c26 The third-party file has ended.
