What it does

Extracting Structure is an agent skill from oxbshw/watch-skill. The user wants structure pulled out of a watched video — "make chapters for this video", "where does the bug appear in this recording", "turn this screen recording into a bug report", "how strong is my intro/hook". Use this for deterministic extraction from the index — chapters with timestamps, a fileable bug report with the exact frame, or a scored hook analysis.

Its SKILL.md is about 490 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Testing & QA, covering QA and bug reports. It works with DeepSeek. The repository describes itself as: Give AI agents eyes, ears, and verifiable results. Watch Skill turns video, audio and screen activity into searchable, timestamped evidence and proves work with deterministic… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve QA and bug reports

Example prompts

  • “make chapters for this video”
  • “where does the bug appear in this recording”
  • “turn this screen recording into a bug report”
  • “/extracting-structure”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): Bash, Read

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit f1317c8. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • Bash
    • Read

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash).

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

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Extracting Structure loads about 490 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 97 tokens; SKILL.md has 192 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~97
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~490

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.

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.

Extracting structure

Three extractors turn an already-watched video into something structured. All of them answer straight from the persistent index — deterministic, no extra model calls. The video must be watched first (see watching-videos).

Chapters

bash
watch-skill extract chapters <video_id-or-source>

Titled chapters with start/end timestamps, built from scene changes plus transcript topic shifts. Good for long tutorials, lectures, meetings — give the user the chapter list with timestamps, not a prose summary.

Bug report from a screen recording

bash
watch-skill extract bug-report <video_id-or-source>

Pinpoints where an error appears: timestamp, the exact frame, the on-screen error text as OCR read it, and the steps that led up to it (from the transcript/actions preceding the failure). Returns found: false honestly when no error signal exists — report that as "no error found in the recording", not as an error.

Paste the output into the user's issue tracker format when they ask for a fileable report; the frame path is the attachment.

Hook analysis (creators)

bash
watch-skill extract hook <video_id-or-source> [--seconds 15]

Scores the opening seconds on four measured axes — attention trigger in the opening line, speech pacing, visual change rate, on-screen text — each with an actionable critique, plus a 0–100 score and verdict. Give the user the per-axis critiques; the number alone helps nobody.
