bradautomates/claude-video: README-based editorial guide

bradautomates/claude-video describes itself in the README as "Give Claude the ability to watch any video. /watch downloads, extracts frames, transcribes, hands it all to Claude.". This article keeps to facts that can be checked in the repository. Stars, forks, and promotional badges are signals of attention, not proof of quality. Under "/watch", the README says: Claude Code (recommended , auto-updates via marketplace):. That establishes the project's stated boundary, not a production test.

The README's "Detail modes , measured" section gives a useful starting point for deciding whether the project fits: One sampling rule across frame modes. Each detects all candidates across the full range, then even-samples (first + last always kept) down to its cap. The modes differ only in candidate source (keyframes vs.. If that problem is not yours, popularity is a poor reason to adopt it. Project names, commands, and component names are kept as written so a reader can return to the primary source without guessing at terminology. Another checkable README item is: Image tokens use Anthropic's (width × height) / 750 , at the default 512px width these 720p frames are 512×288, ≈197 tokens/frame; --resolution 1024 roughly 4×s that.. It can shape a first test, but it does not replace testing in the intended environment.

The operating model is spread across sections such as "/watch". The source evidence includes: (-g installs globally for your user, available across all projects. Drop it to scope per-project.). This article does not turn missing architecture, performance, or security details into claims. A real deployment still needs a look at the repository layout, configuration files, and release history.

Start installation from the README's documented entry point. A command that can be checked in the source is: git clone https://github.com/bradautomates/claude-video.git ln -s "$(pwd)/claude-video/skills/watch" ~/.claude/skills/watch # or ~/.codex/skills/watch When the README contains no runnable command, this article does not invent one. Open its "What people actually use it for" section and confirm system dependencies, default ports, and first-run initialization before using a public server.
