Add Filaxy Watch skill

[Othmaro Fallas Rojas (othmarodev)]

What problem it solves

Claude can read text and see images, but has no native way to watch a video — no frame decoding, no audio transcription, no built-in logic for how many frames a 5-minute vs 45-minute clip needs. Filaxy Watch closes that gap: it downloads a video (URL or local file), extracts an auto-scaled set of frames with ffmpeg, pulls a timestamped transcript (native captions or Whisper fallback), and hands both to Claude to Read and answer from — grounded in what it actually saw and heard, not a guess from a title or filename.

Who uses this workflow

Diagnosing a bug from a shared screen recording, summarizing a long video instead of watching it at 2x, breaking down a competitor's video/ad, or answering "what happens at the X minute mark?" This is a different job than the existing Video Downloader (just downloads, no analysis) or youtube-transcript (transcript only, no visual understanding) entries already in this category — Filaxy Watch is the "understand the video" skill, not the "get the file" or "get the words" skill.

Attribution / inspiration source

This is a rebrand/fork of claude-video by Brad Bonanno (@bradbonanno), MIT licensed. Credited in the SKILL.md's "Inspired by" section per the contributing guidelines. On top of the rename, this fork adds a download cache (skip re-fetching a URL you already asked about), live extraction progress (ffmpeg's own frame/time stats streamed as a throttled heartbeat instead of the process going silent), and multi-video support (watch.py video1.mp4 video2.mp4 ... in one call). Verified against the original project's full test suite (77/77 passing).
