Claude Video is an agent skill that gives Claude and compatible coding assistants the ability to analyze video content. It accepts public video URLs or local video files, then extracts the information needed to answer user questions about what happened on screen and in the audio. The workflow checks captions first, downloads only what is necessary, extracts timestamped frames, and produces a transcript through native captions or Whisper fallback. It supports different detail levels so users can trade speed, token cost, and visual coverage depending on the task. The skill is useful for summarizing videos, reviewing screen recordings, analyzing content structure, diagnosing visual bugs, and turning course material into notes. It can be installed through Claude Code, agent skill hosts, claude.ai, or manual setup.
