Review the result
The agent follows the SKILL.md steps, scripts and references bundled with the skill.

The instructions your agent reads when the skill is triggered.
Video Transcription
Use When
- The input is a video file and the goal is speech extraction, timed transcript, caption generation, multilingual transcript, or edit-prep timestamps.
- Use
media-analysisinstead when the user needs semantic visual analysis.
If a timed transcript already exists and only subtitle output is requested, skip transcription and read the local subtitle conversion reference.
Do Not Use When
- The task needs new creative generation or visual analysis rather than speech or subtitles.
- Required inputs are missing and guessing would change the result.
Execution Boundary
- Hosted video transcription runs through the public
postplus media transcribeverb and is async. The generated example below shows the endpoint key. - Pass a local path, HTTPS URL, existing PostPlus media reference, or data URI
directly to
--video. The CLI validates and prepares local media before the single hosted submit. - Request timestamps by default when results drive subtitles or edit decisions.
- Hosted video transcription is async. Submit records the run handle, current status, and transcript artifacts when available. Inspect the returned format; do not assume a fixed normalized transcript schema.
Source And Path
- Before submit, derive
durationSecondsfrom the source video or URL and pass it through the endpoint's duration flag for request validation. - Start with one source file before larger batches.
- Keep internal requests, responses, normalized transcripts, and downloaded
artifacts under
.postplus/video-transcription; keep final user-facing transcript exports outside.postplus.
Handoff
- If status is pending, preserve the result path and follow the CLI-returned action or resume command for the same operation. Do not submit another job. Stop and report when the CLI wait/recovery boundary is reached.
- When SRT/ASS is requested, use the actual timed transcript and read local subtitle conversion. Convert locally without another hosted request; do not invent a CLI export command.
Stop Conditions
- Stop when required user intent, source evidence, or owned input artifacts are missing and guessing would change the result.
Public Command Boundary
-
Choose the smallest matching command or workflow from the user input and run it directly.
-
Readiness diagnostics:
postplus doctor --skill video-transcription. -
Use
postplus media schema --jsononly when you need the full endpoint, flag, and enum contract or are repairing an unknown request shape. -
Run the hosted transcription job with the generated command below; do not use another execution interface.
-
Pass the source directly through
--video; do not pre-upload it or construct a manual request object. -
Requested tasks use existing PostPlus credits after the current price and balance are checked. Estimate-only requests do not execute. Stop on insufficient credits; do not recharge, buy a subscription, or repeat an uncertain paid operation.

Follow the CLI's structured result and reported next action; do not infer recovery from free-text messages. Wait for explicit user approval when requested; an action does not authorize spending, publishing, or overwriting. Resume the same operation through its returned checkpoint or action; never resubmit uncertain work, repeat exhausted recovery, or switch providers to bypass failure.
