Claude Code

text
/plugin marketplace add bradautomates/claude-video
/plugin install watch@claude-video

Update later with /plugin update watch@claude-video.

Codex, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, and 50+ other hosts

The Agent Skills CLI installs the skill into whatever agents it detects:

bash
npx skills add bradautomates/claude-video -g

-g installs globally for your user (~/.codex/skills, ~/.cursor/skills, etc.); drop it to install into the current project instead. Useful flags:

  • -a, --agent <names…> — target specific hosts, e.g. -a codex -a cursor

  • -l, --list — list the skills in this repo without installing

  • --copy — copy files instead of symlinking (for filesystems without symlink support)

    • The CLI discovers the skill from skills/watch/SKILL.md and copies the whole folder — SKILL.md plus its scripts/ runtime — as a self-contained unit. SKILL.md resolves its own scripts relative to wherever it was installed, so it works the same on every host.

    Update later with npx skills update watch -g.

    claude.ai (web)

  • Download watch.skill from the latest release.

  • Go to Settings → Capabilities → Skills.

  • Click + and drop the file in.

    • Enable "Code execution and file creation" under Capabilities first — the skill shells out to ffmpeg and yt-dlp, so it won't run without it.

    Manual (developer)

    Clone the repo and symlink the self-contained skill folder into your host's skills directory — the symlink keeps the install in sync with your working tree as you edit:

    bash
    git clone https://github.com/bradautomates/claude-video.git
ln -s "$(pwd)/claude-video/skills/watch" ~/.claude/skills/watch   # or ~/.codex/skills/watch

    For claude.ai, build the .skill bundle from source: bash skills/watch/scripts/build-skill.sh produces dist/watch.skill.
