Use when analyzing an existing video URL or local recording: "watch this video", "analyze youtube video", "summarize this video", "youtube transcript", "find this moment", "what happens on screen", "extract concepts from video", or "video key points". NOT for finding videos by keyword (use youtube-search) or creating videos (use animate, remotion-video, or html-video).

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

# Watch

Analyze an existing video from timestamped speech and locally inspected visual evidence. Answer the user's question first; preserve structured concept analysis for general summaries. A transcript explains what was said, not everything shown. Watch processes media locally and does not upload video or audio to a media-analysis service.

## When to Use

| Request | Evidence mode | Boundary |
|---|---|---|
| Summarize spoken ideas, an interview, or a podcast | `transcript` | No video download when captions suffice |
| Inspect a slide, code, UI demo, or private recording | `local` | Read bounded frames and available speech evidence |
| Search a long public video for a visual moment | `local` | Start with bounded sampling, then inspect focused intervals; coverage is not exhaustive |
| Recreate a visual reference | `local` | Pass inspected evidence to a generation skill; Watch does not generate video |
| Align supplied retention analytics with content | Focused `local` | Association is not proof of why viewers left |

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add mathews-tom/armory/watch@sha256:8af68e0ba755b8a7

The line at the top of this page pins the label v3.0.2, 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.
