Check SRT or WebVTT captions and subtitles against published standards (Netflix English, BBC subtitle guidelines, DCMP Captioning Key) for reading speed, line length, line count, time on screen, gaps and overlaps, then fix failures by retiming before rewording. Use when asked to QA, lint or validate captions, check whether subtitles read too fast, prepare captions for Netflix, broadcast or educational delivery, or add a caption check to CI.
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
# Caption QA Captions fail delivery and accessibility review on numbers: characters a second, characters a line, time on screen and the gap between captions. Each standard publishes its own limits, and they differ, so "are these captions OK?" has no answer until you know where they are going. This skill picks the right set of limits, measures every cue the same way the published limits are written, and fixes failures without cutting the speaker's words. ## When to Use This Skill - The user has an `.srt` or `.vtt` file and asks whether it is ready to ship, or why a platform rejected it. - The user asks whether captions or subtitles read too fast, or have lines that are too long. - Captions are headed for Netflix, a broadcaster, or US educational media, and must meet that spec. - The user wants caption checks in CI so a bad file fails the build. ## Pick the Standard If the user names no target, use Netflix English (adult) and say that you did. | Standard | Reading speed | Line length | Lines | Time on screen | Gap between captions | |---|---|---|---|---|---| …

How to install
mdr add github/awesome-copilot/caption-qa@sha256:bfeb304c8de9f756The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261025.8c3d33b, 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.
