Maker Skills for Claude Code: Automated Video Analysis with /watch-video

X postCorey HainesTool

Corey Haines has released the /watch-video skill as part of Maker Skills, an open-source collection for Claude Code. The tool processes video content from various sources, analyses transcripts alongside visual frames via vision models, and saves structured notes into a second brain.

Key points

  1. The /watch-video command supports YouTube, Loom, Zoom recordings, Vimeo, and local files.
  2. It extracts transcripts and samples video frames to run a vision pass over key visual moments.
  3. Analysis results are organised as structured notes directly in a second brain system.
  4. The tool is included in Maker Skills, a suite of 18 free open-source skills for founders and operators.
  5. Users can install it in Claude Code using the plugin marketplace command.

Why it matters

Standard video summarisation tools typically rely solely on audio transcripts, missing slides, screen shares, and visual context. Combining frame extraction with vision processing captures multimodal information across client calls and educational videos.

Analysis

By deploying this workflow as a Claude Code skill, Haines demonstrates how agentic developer environments can be extended to handle multimodal knowledge management directly from the command line, bridging video consumption and personal note-taking.

I made a skill that watches videos for me /watch-video — YouTube, Loom, Zoom recordings, Vimeo, local files, anything. It pulls the transcript, extracts frames, runs a vision pass for key moments, and files structured notes into my second brain. I'm using it to study 100 t.co/OSwsJEN6Uw

  • @realprimesync @coreyhainesco transcript plus a vision pass on key frames is the combo most "summarize this video" tools skip, and it's why they miss every slide and screen share. the second-brain filing is the real unlock though. how are you naming the notes so future-you can actually find them?
