What it does

Video Review is an agent skill from htekdev/vidpipe. Review and inspect video files using Gemini AI vision. Use this skill when asked to inspect, review, analyze, describe, or understand what's happening in a video file. Supports custom prompts for targeted analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `review-video.ts`).

It works with Google Gemini. The repository describes itself as: CLI tool that auto-processes video recordings: transcribes, removes silence, generates captions, creates shorts, social posts, and more.

When your agent uses it

  • Asked to inspect
  • Understand whats happening in a video file

Example prompts

  • “/video-review”

Requirements

  • Node.js
  • A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

2 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. video-path (required): Absolute or relative path to the video file
  2. prompt (optional): Custom prompt to send alongside the video. If omitted, uses a general review prompt that describes what's happening in…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 99a5378. 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 script files (TypeScript), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • npx

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

  • Network

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • aistudio.google.com

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

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GEMINI_API_KEY

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

Context cost

Video Review loads about 745 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 57 tokens; SKILL.md has 227 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~57
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~745

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.

Auto-check: notes

The automated check noted patterns worth knowing about, such as sudo or a known installer.

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 227 words (~745 tokens).

“Analyze any video file using Google Gemini's vision model. Upload the video, send a custom prompt (or use a default review prompt), and return Gemini's analysis.”
