learning-from-mistakes
The user corrected an answer about a video — "no, it actually says X", "that's the wrong timestamp", "you misread the error code" — or asks why a video answer was wrong. Use this to record the correction as a lesson so future answers on similar questions improve, and to show what the system has learned and saved.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill --skill learning-from-mistakes- 01
Install
Run the command in your project. The CLI asks which agents to install for.
- 02
Describe the task
Ask your agent for something this skill covers. It loads learning-from-mistakes automatically when relevant.
- 03
Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.
SKILL.md
The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Learning from mistakes
When a video answer turns out wrong, the correction is worth more than an apology. Report it and Watch Skill learns locally — the mistake is classified, stored as a lesson, injected into future similar questions, and where possible the original question is immediately re-asked to confirm the lesson actually fixes it.
Report a correction
The moment the user corrects a video answer, run:
watch-skill lessons add <video_id> "<question>" "<the wrong answer>" "<the correction>"
The output includes the lesson (error_class, guidance) and, when the
question was re-asked, whether the corrected answer now comes back —
tell the user which it was. Nothing is uploaded; lessons live in
~/.watch-skill/.

Lifetime token economics: what text-first answering and the semantic cache have saved versus stuffing raw frames into context. Quote real numbers from it when the user asks whether any of this is worth it.

More from oxbshw/watch-skill
watch
oxbshw/watch-skill
Watch any video (URL, stream, or local path) via Watch Skill. Downloads, extracts scene-aware deduped frames, OCRs them, transcribes (captions first, then local Whisper — offline by default), indexes everything, and hands the result to the agent. Follow-up questions are answered from the persistent index without re-processing.
watching-videos
oxbshw/watch-skill
The user shared a video URL, a YouTube/TikTok/stream link, a local video file, a screen recording, a meeting recording, or a playlist/folder of videos — "watch this", "summarize this video", "what's in this recording". Use this to actually watch the video — download, extract frames, OCR, transcribe, and index it — instead of guessing from the title or asking the user to describe it.
video-memory
oxbshw/watch-skill
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.
asking-with-evidence
oxbshw/watch-skill
The user asks a question about a video that was already watched or indexed — "what did they say about X", "what error code appears", "what happens at 2:30", "does the video show Y". Use this to answer from the persistent index with timestamped evidence and a confidence score instead of re-watching or guessing.
extracting-structure
oxbshw/watch-skill
The user wants structure pulled out of a watched video — "make chapters for this video", "where does the bug appear in this recording", "turn this screen recording into a bug report", "how strong is my intro/hook". Use this for deterministic extraction from the index — chapters with timestamps, a fileable bug report with the exact frame, or a scored hook analysis.
the-loop
oxbshw/watch-skill
The user built or changed something visual — a UI, an animation, a game, a generated video — and wants it verified, or asks "why does my UI look wrong", "check that the fix actually worked", "does the animation glitch". Use this to record the running thing, critique the recording against plain-language pass criteria, and iterate until it passes with before/after proof.

paper-context-resolver
lllllllama/rigorpilot-skills
Rigor Paper Context helper for README-first deep learning repo reproduction. Use only when the README and repository files leave a narrow reproduction-critical gap and the task is to resolve a specific paper detail such as dataset split, preprocessing, evaluation protocol, checkpoint mapping, or runtime assumption from primary paper sources while recording conflicts. Do not use for general paper summary, repo scanning, environment setup, command execution, title-only paper lookup, or replacing README guidance by default.
caveman-learn
juliusbrussee/caveman
Act on a Caveman learn report - review the ranked token sinks, apply cost-lowering fixes with per-edit consent, and report what those fixes returned. Use when asked to lower an agent's token cost, what caveman has saved, to trim a heavy CLAUDE.md, or to offload re-pasted context into cavemem.
