Turns a tutorial video (YouTube, X, TikTok, Instagram, Facebook or any yt-dlp URL) or a local screen recording into an installed Agent Skill whose steps cite timestamps. Use when the user runs /skipwatch, or shares a video link or recording and asks to make, capture or save it as a skill. Also handles /skipwatch doctor, resume, list, pack, install and share. Not for requests to summarize, download or transcribe a video, or to follow its steps right now.
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
# SkipWatch
Arguments: $ARGUMENTS
SkipWatch turns a tutorial video into an installed Agent Skill whose every step is traced
to a timestamp. You orchestrate; a deterministic engine does the mechanical work, and
three agents (`skipwatch:frame-reader`, `skipwatch:skill-critic`,
`skipwatch:skill-tester`) read frames, critique the
draft and test it.
## Engine and paths
Plugin root: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}
If it does not start with `/`, the engine is missing: run nothing and
reply `SkipWatch needs its plugin: /plugin marketplace add robert-botto/skipwatch, then
/plugin install skipwatch@skipwatch.` and stop.
The references write that path as `<ROOT>`: use the literal path, never a shell variable
(the Bash tool does not have it). The engine command is defined here and nowhere else;
expand every `<ENGINE>` to exactly this, with `<ROOT>` filled in:
<ENGINE> = `"<ROOT>/scripts/skipwatch"`
**Every engine call is one plain Bash command, exactly as written, nothing appended.**
Never add `2>&1`, `; echo rc=$?`, `&&`, `|` or a redirect: the Bash result already shows
stdout, stderr and the exit code, and a chained call is denied.

How to install
mdr add robert-botto/skipwatch/skipwatch@sha256:6ff607a21ec669b7The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261018.54ba342, 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.
