analyze-footage
57 / 100 · Review before installing
Check before installing. Some of what it can do is expected: a media skill usually calls an AI service over the internet.

Analyze one footage file in pull-driven levels L0–L3 and record only observed evidence in analysis.json v0. By default, run L0 metadata and L1 audio (`akari media probe` → `waveform` → `transcribe` only when speech is likely); cloud transcription requires approval. Inspect keyframes, editing events, and hooks at L2, or person tracks at L3, only when requested. Use for new footage, pre-edit analysis of one file, or footage analysis needed before plan-edit.
Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

Install
Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.
if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'analyze-footage' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'analyze-footage' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named analyze-footage already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/AkariLabs/akari-video' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '12b63130cc05dfc1efff973508a33f4fe3a27129' -- 'skills/analyze-footage' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'skills/analyze-footage' ~/.agents/skills/'analyze-footage' && rm -rf "$d"; fi
Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'analyze-footage' ~/.claude/skills/'analyze-footage' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
