Is the Video Analysis skill free?

Yes. The skill itself is free from domitriusclark/claude-skills. SkillProof publishes the install command and an independent test verdict at no cost.

What is the Video Analysis SkillProof Score?

9.2/10 — installs cleanly 5/5, triggers reliably 5/5, output vs. baseline 9/10, docs & honesty 4/5.

How do I install Video Analysis?

Copy the install command from this page, run it in your terminal, and restart Claude Code. Skills live in ~/.claude/skills/ (global) or .claude/skills/ inside a project.

Can I use Video Analysis with Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Codex or other AI tools?

The SKILL.md format is native to Claude (Claude Code, Desktop, claude.ai). The instructions inside adapt to other assistants: Cursor rules, GitHub Copilot instructions, Windsurf rules, Custom GPTs, AGENTS.md for OpenAI Codex, and GEMINI.md for Google Gemini CLI — our conversion guides cover each, and the free converter on the tools page does the wrapping for you.

Test report

Verdict: Tested · Works
Score: 9.2/10
Tested: Jul 16, 2026
Environment: Claude Code 2.x (agent harness)
Upstream re-checked: Aug 10, 2026 · a0551e1

Actually ran the bundled extract_frames.sh against a real synthetic 12-second local video: it auto-picked 1 fps, pulled 14 valid JPEGs, and a sampled frame read back correctly as a real image — a baseline agent without this skill has no reproducible way to 'watch' a video at all, so this is a genuine capability gap, not just formatting polish.

Scored on four weighted criteria — install, triggering, output vs. baseline, docs. How scoring works

What Video Analysis does

Downloads video from YouTube/Vimeo/Twitter/Twitch URLs (via yt-dlp) or reads local files, extracts frames at an auto-selected rate (0.033-1 fps, duration-scaled to land in the 60-200 frame range) via a bundled ffmpeg script, then reads the frames with the Read tool for visual analysis. Triggers on requests to review, summarize, compare moments in, or extract screenshots from a video or recording.

How to install Video Analysis
