video-memory
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.

Install
Works with every agent the skills CLI supports.
npx skills add https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill --skill video-memory- 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 video-memory 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.
Video memory
Every video ever watched on this machine is still here — frames, OCR,
transcripts, and past answers, in one persistent index under
~/.watch-skill/. You never have to say "I don't remember that video."
Sessions don't expire it; watching more videos makes it more useful.
What's in the library?
watch-skill list
Every indexed video: id, title, duration, when it was analyzed. Check here before watching anything — it may already be in memory from a previous session.
Find something across all of it
watch-skill search "<phrase or keywords>"
Hybrid keyword + semantic search across every video, any language (Arabic folding, CJK and Thai segmentation are handled). Hits come back with video + timestamp; follow up on a hit with:
watch-skill ask <video_id> "<the user's actual question>"
watch-skill ask <video_id> "what is on screen at <timestamp>?"
Questions that span videos
"What did we decide about the pricing page across those meetings?" — questions no single video answers go to the library synthesizer:
watch-skill library ask "<the question>"
It answers from distilled notes across every indexed video, drills into
real evidence, and cites video + timestamp for each finding. When it
says the library does not clearly answer, trust that — do not stitch a
guess together from weak search hits. watch-skill library overview
shows what the library knows (videos, note counts, entities recurring
across videos).
For "which video showed X" (locate, not synthesize), plain search is
the right tool; then ask the hit video.
Batches build memory fast
A playlist or a folder of recordings goes in as one call —
watch-skill batch "<playlist-or-folder>" — and the whole set becomes
searchable memory (see watching-videos).
FAQ
What does the video-memory skill do?
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.
How do I install video-memory?
Run npx skills add https://github.com/oxbshw/watch-skill --skill video-memory in your project. The skills CLI detects the agents you use and copies the skill into the right folder. For Claude Code you can also place the skill folder at ~/.claude/skills/video-memory/ (personal) or .claude/skills/video-memory/ (project).
Which AI agents can use video-memory?
Any agent that supports the open Agent Skills format (a folder with a SKILL.md file), including Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, GitHub Copilot, Gemini CLI, Windsurf, Cline, OpenCode and more.
Is video-memory safe to install?
No partner security audit is available yet. Skills can run commands and scripts, so read the SKILL.md and any bundled files before installing.

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.
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.
recovering-from-errors
oxbshw/watch-skill
A Watch Skill command failed, video download broke, ffmpeg or yt-dlp is missing, a provider returned an error, local vision stopped, or the user asks "why can't it watch this" or "repair my setup". Use this to diagnose and apply the engine's structured fix before retrying the original operation.
