⚡ Setup Guide

Option 1 — Claude Code (recommended, auto-updates via marketplace):

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

Option 2 — Codex (and Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, or any Agent Skills host):

Prompt
npx skills add bradautomates/claude-video -g

-g installs globally across all projects. Drop it to scope per-project only.

Then paste any video URL and ask Claude to watch it:

Prompt
/watch https://youtu.be/[YOUR-VIDEO-URL] what hook did they open with?

⚠️ Important: Before running /watch, make sure you're logged into Instagram, TikTok, YouTube, or whichever platform the video is on — in your default browser. The tool uses your browser's cookies to download the video. Not logged in = it won't work.

🎬 Bonus Use Cases

  • Reverse-engineer viral videos — Drop any viral video URL, ask Claude what made it work, replicate the structure for your own content
  • Competitor ad breakdowns — Feed it a competitor's video and extract the hook, offer, and CTA structure in seconds
  • Strip the hype from launch videos — Ask Claude what's actually new — skip the hype and get just the substance, none of the fluff
  • Turn courses into notes — Run /watch on any tutorial video and get a clean, skimmable summary you can actually reference later
  • Bug diagnosis — Send Claude a screen recording of something broken and ask what's going wrong? — it finds the exact frame where the issue appears
  • Meeting & call recaps — Paste a recorded call URL and get a structured summary with key points pulled from what was actually said
