video-to-claude

Use Gemini's video understanding to extract build instructions from any video.

Quick Start

python ~/.claude/skills/video-to-claude/scripts/video_to_claude.py <source> [flags]

Flags

• --micro - Detailed micro-interaction specs (exact colors, timing, easing)
• --pro - Use Gemini Pro instead of Flash (4x cost, better quality)

Examples

# YouTube tutorial
python ~/.claude/skills/video-to-claude/scripts/video_to_claude.py "https://youtube.com/watch?v=..."

# UI micro-interaction (detailed specs)
python ~/.claude/skills/video-to-claude/scripts/video_to_claude.py --micro button.gif
