Ingests a video's content (YouTube and similar) for agent context, routing by capability, task need, and video length — a natively multimodal engine (Gemini via agy or the Gemini API) for direct-URL and long video, Claude vision over ffmpeg-extracted frames when no such engine is present, yt-dlp captions when the transcript alone suffices, and the logged-in claude-in-chrome session for auth-gated videos. The governor cross-checks any multimodal comprehensive-read. Triggered by…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# video-ingest — Video Content Ingestion (capability-routed) A video carries two separable signals: the **spoken transcript** (text) and the **visual content** (on-screen demos, slides, UI). Captions give only the first. So the route is chosen by **what the task needs** × **what engine is available** × **video length** — not a single fixed path. This reuses frontier-digest's capability-over-engine logic and adds on-demand, need-based routing, a Claude-native frame path, output normalization, and a governance cross-check. FH's increment over a raw video executor (sister asset `claude-video`, github bradautomates/claude-video; cross-audit note in a private companion store): the executors *watch*; FH **governs** — the governor never trusts a multimodal "comprehensive read" at face value, it cross-checks claims against the transcript / a second pass. Same compose pattern as the other FH↔executor pairs. ## Triggers - "ingest this video" · "what does this video show / demonstrate" - "get the transcript from this YouTube video" · "pull the captions from <URL>" - "summarize what's on screen in this video" - "video-ingest" ## Step 0 — What does the task need? (picks the tier) …

How to install
mdr add chrono-meta/forge-harness/video-ingest@sha256:b09c4e6314c15ee9The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260712.836c8df, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
