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 Analysis Analyze video files using either **native model understanding** or **frame extraction + transcription**. ⚠️ **URL input (YouTube / TikTok / IG / Apple Podcasts / Spotify / any link)?** This skill takes a **local file path**. For a link, do NOT download the media. Route by input type, in order, and STOP at the first level that yields text: 1. **Podcast episode link or episode name** (Apple Podcasts, Spotify, Overcast, publisher site, or just "the a16z episode about X") → `web_search` for the publisher's episode page / show notes / transcript page, then `web-crawler.scrape_markdown(url)` to read it. Most major shows publish text. 2. **Video URL** → `web-crawler.youtube_video(url)` / `youtube_transcript(url)` (cloud captions, ~1 s, no download; TikTok has `tiktok_transcript`). 3. **`web_fetch` came back empty** (`empty_extraction`, JS-rendered page) → retry the same URL with `web-crawler.scrape_markdown` — it renders JS. Never conclude "no transcript" from an empty plain fetch. 4. **Nothing found** → report exactly that and ask. Local download + `analyze_video()` runs ONLY when the user explicitly asks to download the …

mdr add starchild-ai-agent/official-skills/video-analysis@sha256:b6689bd3caadc3d7The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.3.0, 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.
