Claude Watch is Live

This custom Claude skill watches video frame by frame, not just the transcript, the actual visuals. Because in any good video, half the meaning is happening on screen, not in the words. Now Claude sees both. Here's how you can use it. Say YouTube video goes viral. You just type

YouTube video goes viral. You just type {slash} Claude watch, paste the URL, hit enter. Claude studies the whole thing frame by frame and writes you a full video breakdown. A 30-minute video broken down and rewritten in under 2 minutes. You can also do this with every top creator in your niche. Paste the

top creator in your niche. Paste the URL, Claude breaks down what's working, the hooks, the visuals, the trends, and pipes it straight into your Obsidian vector library. Your second brain just keeps getting smarter on autopilot. You are never out of content

are never out of content ideas. Now, here's how it works under the hood. Claude doesn't have a native video model, so the skill splits every video into the two things Claude does understand, images and text. It uses YTDLP to pull the video from

any site on the internet, YouTube, Loom, Instagram, and over all platforms. Then FFmpeg rips out frames across the whole video and pulls a clean audio track. The audio gets transcribed, free if YouTube has captions, or through

free if YouTube has captions, or through Whisper on Claude's free tier if not. Then everything gets handed to Claude with the timestamps lined up. So Claude isn't guessing from a transcript anymore. It's flipping through the frames a flipbook while reading the script. It knows exactly what's on

script. It knows exactly what's on screen the moment something is being said, all running locally, no expensive video API. Here is how you can set this up. Just copy this GitHub repo link, check description, and paste it in the Claude code app. And ask the Claude code to

install this skill into your system. Once installed, you will get the {slash} Claude watch access, and you just have to paste in the YouTube URL as in here, and simply ask, "Hey, analyze this video and give me the hooks and the script structure for why this is trending
