# Video memory Every video ever watched on this machine is still here — frames, OCR, transcripts, and past answers, in one persistent index under `~/.watch-skill/`. You never have to say "I don't remember that video." Sessions don't expire it; watching more videos makes it more useful. ## What's in the library? ```bash watch-skill list ``` Every indexed video: id, title, duration, when it was analyzed. Check here before watching anything — it may already be in memory from a previous session. ## Find something across all of it ```bash watch-skill search "<phrase or keywords>" ``` Hybrid keyword + semantic search across every video, any language (Arabic folding, CJK and Thai segmentation are handled). Hits come back with video + timestamp; follow up on a hit with: ```bash watch-skill ask <video_id> "<the user's actual question>" watch-skill ask <video_id> "what is on screen at <timestamp>?" ``` ## Questions that span videos "What did we decide about the pricing page across those meetings?" — questions no single video answers go to the library synthesizer: ```bash watch-skill library ask "<the question>" ``` It answers from distilled notes across every indexed video, drills into real evidence, and cites video + timestamp for each finding. When it says the library does not clearly answer, trust that — do not stitch a guess together from weak search hits. `watch-skill library overview` shows what the library knows (videos, note counts, entities recurring across videos). For "which video showed X" (locate, not synthesize), plain `search` is the right tool; then `ask` the hit video. ## Batches build memory fast A playlist or a folder of recordings goes in as one call — `watch-skill batch "<playlist-or-folder>"` — and the whole set becomes searchable memory (see `watching-videos`).
