Claude Code can read files, write code, browse the web, and process documents. It cannot watch a video. I kept running into this. I would find a video I wanted to study, copy the URL, paste it in, and hit a wall. Claude had no way to see what was actually in it. So I built a skill that fixes this entirely. /video-analyze takes any video URL, downloads it, extracts frames at the correct timestamps, pulls the transcript, and passes everything to Claude for analysis. It works with TikTok, Instagram, YouTube, Reddit, X, etc. But the part that changed how I work is what Claude does after. It does not just describe the video. It reverse-engineers it. You get: - The hook broken down (spoken line, visual, category, plus a fill-in-the-blank template to swipe with your own wordings) - A timestamped table of every beat in the video, from open to CTA - The exact engagement mechanic the creator used and when they placed it - A replication playbook with 3-5 specific things you can copy into your own content Here is the GitHub repo. Just download the entire folder and run it in Claude Code (VS Code/Desktop) to install it globally. https://github.com/Mharis-code/videoanalyzer One command. The installer handles everything. If you study content for your own strategy, this saves hours every week. (DON'T FORGET TO STAR THE GITHUB REPO IF YOU FIND VALUE IN THIS SKILL) Drop a comment below and tell me what you analyzed. Curious what you find. PS: I know, thumbnail inspired by the great Nate Herk.
