# video-memory A persistent index of every video the agent has analyzed on this machine: frames, OCR, transcripts and past answers. Useful when you need to recall what was in a recording. - skill · `type=skill` · Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, OpenCode · 510 installs · ★ 528 - Author: oxbshw - License: MIT · policy=mirror · the beginning of the file is at the end of this page - Source: https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill/tree/HEAD/skills/video-memory/SKILL.md - Updated: 2026-10-14 - HTML: https://affpapa.org/en/nevibecode/skills/video-memory ## What it does The skill keeps a library under `~/.watch-skill/`. Each analyzed video lands there with an id, title, duration and analysis time, so sessions do not wipe it — the more videos you run through, the denser the index gets. Search is hybrid: keywords plus semantics, with Arabic folding and CJK and Thai segmentation handled. Hits come back as video plus timestamp, and you can follow up with a question about that specific recording. For questions no single video answers, a library synthesizer works from distilled notes, drills into evidence and cites video plus timestamp for each finding. When it says the library does not clearly answer, take that at face value instead of stitching a guess from weak hits. The split is simple: "which video showed X" is `search`, while "what did we decide about X" is `library ask`. The skill needs `Bash` and `Read`, so the `watch-skill` commands have to be available on your system. A playlist or a folder of recordings goes in with a single `batch` call. ## Install ### Claude Code (native platform) 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill video-memory -a claude-code ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `~/.claude/skills/video-memory/SKILL.md` — Copy the whole skill folder; for one project use .claude/skills/video-memory/ ### Codex 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill video-memory -a codex ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.agents/skills/video-memory/SKILL.md` — For all projects use ~/.agents/skills/ ### Cursor 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill video-memory -a cursor ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.cursor/skills/video-memory/SKILL.md` — Cursor also reads .agents/skills/ and .claude/skills/ ### GitHub Copilot 1. **GitHub CLI** ```bash gh skill install oxbshw/watch-skill video-memory ``` 2. **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.github/skills/video-memory/SKILL.md` ### Gemini CLI 1. **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill video-memory -a gemini-cli ``` 2. **Platform CLI** ```bash gemini skills install https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill --path skills/video-memory ``` ### Windsurf (Devin Desktop) **Manually: put the files in place** - File: `.devin/skills/video-memory/SKILL.md` — The legacy .windsurf/skills/ path still works ### OpenCode **Skills CLI (Vercel)** ```bash npx skills add oxbshw/watch-skill --skill video-memory -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/oxbshw/watch-skill/tree/HEAD/skills/video-memory/SKILL.md ## When to use it - find which video showed a specific error - recall what a meeting decided about a topic - search a phrase across every watched recording - answer a question that spans several videos - check whether a video was already analyzed ## Example prompts - have we watched anything about this error? - which video had that slide, and at what timestamp? - what did we decide about the pricing page across those meetings? ## Source text · SKILL.md · MIT Below is the content of a third-party file.

BEGIN THIRD-PARTY FILE d6383069f3a8bc71 ````text --- name: video-memory version: "1.4.3" description: 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 don't remember. license: MIT user-invocable: true allowed-tools: Bash, Read --- # 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? ```bash 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 ```bash watch-skill search "" ``` 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: ```bash watch-skill ask "" watch-skill ask "what is on screen at ?" ``` ## 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: ```bash watch-skill library ask "" ``` 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 ""` — and the whole set becomes searchable memory (see `watching-videos`). ```` END THIRD-PARTY FILE d6383069f3a8bc71 The third-party file has ended.
