What it does

Video To Text is an agent skill from davepoon/buildwithclaude. 视频转文字。用户发抖音分享链接(获取标题/作者/点赞等元数据),或本地视频文件(语音转写全文)时使用。抖音链接用 SSR 解析无需 Cookie。Video to text: extract metadata from Douyin share links, or transcribe speech from local video files.

Its SKILL.md is about 300 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/douyin_extract.py` and `scripts/vtt.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. It works with Douyin. The repository describes itself as: A single hub to find Claude Skills, Agents, Commands, Hooks, Plugins, and Marketplace collections to extend Claude Code, Claude Desktop, Agent SDK and OpenClaw. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Transcription

Example prompts

  • “/video-to-text”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. 抖音分享链接 → 元数据
  2. 本地视频文件 → 语音转写

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 616deb5. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • v.douyin.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Video To Text loads about 295 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 56 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~47
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~295

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Video-to-Text 视频转文字

把视频变成可复制、可搜索的文字。支持抖音分享链接(元数据,无需登录)和本地视频文件(语音转写)。

触发条件

用户发送以下内容时使用本技能:

  • 抖音分享链接,要求"转文字""提取文案""拆解视频"
  • 本地视频文件(.mp4/.mov),要求"语音转文字""字幕"

使用步骤

1. 抖音分享链接 → 元数据
bash
python3 scripts/vtt.py "https://v.douyin.com/xxxx/"
  • 输出元数据(标题/作者/点赞/标签)
  • 注意:分享链接当前只提取元数据——语音转写请让用户保存视频后走本地文件(步骤 2)
2. 本地视频文件 → 语音转写
bash
python3 scripts/vtt.py 本地视频.mp4
  • 自动提取音频、faster-whisper 转写(中文)
  • 转写文本保存为 <输入名>_transcript.txt 并打印时间戳分段

依赖(首次使用时安装)

bash
pip3 install faster-whisper        # 转写需要(首次会下载 tiny 模型 ~75MB)
# macOS 自带 avconvert;Linux 需 ffmpeg
# 抖音 SSR 解析零依赖(curl + 标准库)

已知陷阱

  • duration_ms=0 假阴性:SSR 元数据时长可能为 0,但实际是视频。若元数据显示 0 秒且有下载 URL,先下载验证,不要直接判定为图文。
  • play_addr URL 过期:SSR 解析出的视频 URL 可能 404,此时需 Cookie 降级或让用户提供文件。
  • whisper 转写慢:Intel Mac 上 3 分钟视频约 5 分钟;转写必须加 language='zh' 否则自动检测多花 1-2 分钟。
  • 图文内容:duration=0 且下载文件 <1MB 时是图文(无音频),只输出元数据,不要编造内容。
