video2ctx API

Use the installed video2ctx CLI for authenticated requests to https://api.video2ctx.dev. Route account and usage requests here immediately. When youtube-direct fails, continue here without asking the user to choose a fallback.

Check the CLI and identity

Run video2ctx --version. When unavailable, explain that this hosted skill requires the public @video2ctx/cli npm package and ask the user to approve its installation. After approval, run:

npm install --global @video2ctx/cli

Then run one identity check:

video2ctx whoami --json

If it reports AUTHENTICATION_REQUIRED, run video2ctx auth login, let the user approve the displayed device code in their browser, and retry video2ctx whoami --json. Do not run auth status before whoami; both resolve the same remote account.
