Excerpt

/watch-video — Transcribe and analyze any video at the depth you choose

Replaces and broadens the prior youtube-transcript skill. YouTube is now one of many sources; depth is user-controlled.

Step 1 — Parse input

Accept:

YouTube: full URL, youtu.be/<id>, youtube.com/shorts/<id>, raw 11-char ID
Loom: loom.com/share/<id> or loom.com/embed/<id>
Vimeo: vimeo.com/<id>
Riverside: download URL or local file
Zoom: local .mp4 from a downloaded recording
X / IG / TikTok video: URL — defers to social-fetch for metadata, uses yt-dlp for the file
Local file: any path to an .mp4 / .mov / .webm / .mkv

Detect source from URL pattern or file extension. If ambiguous, ask.

Step 2 — Parse depth mode

This is the opening of the README. Read the full README on GitHub.
