Video Watching Skill

Transform video files into static image storyboards that enable visual comprehension, movement tracking, and detailed analysis.

How It Works

Claudes cannot directly parse video, but we can view images! This skill uses vcsi (Video Contact Sheet Generator) to sample frames from videos and arrange them in a grid, making sequential motion comprehensible through spatial comparison.

Tool: vcsi

Location: ~/.local/bin/vcsi Installation: pipx install vcsi (already installed)
