ima-dai-sdk Claude Code skill: install and setup

Q: How do I install ima-dai-sdk in Claude Code?

Run `npx skills add google/skills --skill ima-dai-sdk -a claude-code`. The skill file is at `~/.claude/skills/ima-dai-sdk/SKILL.md`.

What ima-dai-sdk does

The skill covers Google IMA DAI SDK integration for livestream events configured in Google Ad Manager and video-on-demand content ingested into Google Ad Manager. It targets HLS and DASH streams, using an event asset key for livestreams or a CMS ID and video ID for VOD.

Platform guides cover Web, HTML5, ReactJs, NodeJs and Angular; ChromeCast; Android; iOS and tvOS; and Roku. The general workflow imports and initializes the SDK, adds stream event listeners, forwards timed metadata, requests a stream, then cleans up SDK resources if the stream fails or the user leaves. This is for DAI streams, not VAST or VMAP URLs. Install it when you are building a Google DAI integration; it is the wrong fit for loading a VAST or VMAP URL.

What it helps with

load a Google DAI HLS stream in a video player
request a livestream stream using its event asset key
load VOD using a CMS ID and video ID
forward timed metadata to stream handlers
clean up SDK resources when a viewer leaves a stream

Example prompts for the agent

Integrate the Google IMA DAI SDK into my video player and load an HLS livestream.
Show me the Android DAI integration using the Media3 Exoplayer IMA extension.
Add a VOD stream request using the CMS ID and video ID.
