About
A Claude Code skill/plugin that lets Claude 'watch' any video by downloading it, extracting frames with scene-aware sampling, pulling captions or a Whisper-generated transcript, and reading the frames as images to answer questions grounded in what's actually shown and said. Includes tunable detail modes and frame deduplication to manage token cost on long videos.

Why it made the leaderboard
Gives a coding agent grounded comprehension of video — both what's said and what's on screen — without blowing the context window, thanks to scene-aware frame sampling, deduplication, and benchmarked detail modes. Useful for turning tutorials, demos, and bug recordings into something an agent can actually reason over.
