# video-to-skill

Turn a video, playlist, or course into an evidence-grounded Skill that Claude Code or Codex can teach from, quiz you on, use as a reference, and apply to real work.

## Install

Paste this request into Claude Code or Codex:

```text Install video-to-skill globally as a standalone Skill from https://github.com/Lum1104/video-to-skill. Prepare and verify its private runtime, then confirm that video-to-skill is available. ```

Or install it for both hosts with the open [Agent Skills installer](https://github.com/vercel-labs/skills):

```bash npx skills add Lum1104/video-to-skill --skill video-to-skill --global --agent claude-code --agent codex --yes ```

The command-line option requires Node.js and `npx`. Start a new host session after installation.

On first use, the Skill creates a private Python runtime and downloads its third-party dependencies from PyPI; that setup needs Python 3.11–3.13 and network access. Processing media also requires FFmpeg with ffprobe. If a course later needs local speech recognition or OCR, the host enables that capability inside the same private runtime; you do not create a virtual environment or run a package manager yourself.

## Create a course Skill

Give the generator a video, playlist, course URL, or local media file:

| Host | Example | | --- | --- | | Claude Code | `/video-to-skill https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=...` | | Codex | `$video-to-skill https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=...` |

You can add the desired outcome naturally:

```text Build a Skill that teaches this course and can apply its method to my projects. ```

One invocation inventories the accessible course, acquires and investigates the evidence, builds and validates a course-specific Skill, and installs it for the active host. Interrupted work resumes from its private evidence wo
