video-search-and-summarization

Use this skill when producing a VSS analysis report — Mode A per-clip VLM, Mode B incident-range via video-analytics. Not for standalone video summarization, real-time alerts or ad-hoc Q&A.

Use this skill to run top-level VSS fusion search on archived video, or to ingest video files / RTSP streams for search. Do NOT use for ad-hoc visual Q&A (use vss-ask-video), live captioning (use vss-deploy-dense-captioning), or video summarization and reports (use vss-summarize-video).

Use to select, configure, deploy, verify, debug, or tear down a VSS profile (base, search, lvs, warehouse, edge). Not for standalone microservices — use the vss-deploy-* skill.

Use for VSS alert workflows — real-time monitoring, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, Slack notifications, incident queries, camera onboarding. Not for non-alert analytics.

Use to run AutoMagicCalib on local MP4s, RTSP, or the bundled sample dataset, and to deploy vss-auto-calibration when needed. Do not use for non-AMC calibration or runtime analytics.

Use to deploy the vss-behavior-analytics service standalone (entrypoint, config-source, optional calibration). Not for the full warehouse deploy.

Update the BDD test container image when its dependencies or runtime change. Determines version bump (major vs minor vs patch), rebuilds the Docker image, pushes to GitLab registry, and updates the image tag in start_test.sh. Test source (tests/, features/, scripts/, data/, conftest.py) is bind-mounted from the host repo at runtime, so pure test code changes do NOT require a container rebuild. Use only when files that the container bakes in are modified: Dockerfile, docker-entrypoint.sh, pyproject.toml, poetry.lock.

Use to deploy the vss-video-analytics-api REST service standalone (config-source, data-log bind, Elasticsearch, optional Kafka). Not for full warehouse deploy.

Use this skill to ask the VSS agent's video_understanding tool a fresh visual question about a recorded clip. Not for prior tool output, search hits, or metadata-answerable questions.

Use this skill when reading video-analytics metrics, incidents, alerts, and sensor data via the VA-MCP server (port 9901). Not for live VLM or incident-range narrative reports.

Deploy and operate the RTVI-CV-3D microservice as MV3DT (`MODE=mv3dt`): per-camera DeepStream perception plus BEV Fusion over calibrated cameras. Supports the bundled sample dataset, custom video files, and RTSP streams, and chains to `vss-generate-video-calibration` when calibration is missing. Use `vss-deploy-profile` for the full warehouse blueprint and `vss-deploy-detection-tracking-2d` for single-camera 2D detection.

Use to call the VIOS REST API (sensor list, timelines, clip extraction, snapshots, add/delete sensors and streams). Not for VLM inference or search.

Use this skill when deploying, operating, or integrating the VSS 3.2 GA RT-Embed Video Embedding microservice. Covers Docker Compose bring-up, GPU and storage prerequisites, the `/v1` REST API (file uploads, text and video embeddings, live RTSP streams, health and metrics), Redis/Kafka/OTel integration, common failure modes, and teardown.

Use to summarize a recorded video via the LVS summarization microservice (HITL-gated) with a VLM fallback. Not for report generation or live RTSP captioning.

Generates VSS video summary reports with LVS HITL and optional Enterprise RAG document grounding. Trigger when the user asks for a frag/RAG-assisted video report, knowledge-enhanced analysis, or Enterprise RAG context in a video summary.

Use this skill when deploying standalone RT-VLM dense captioning or calling its REST API (uploads, captions, streams, chat-completions, Kafka). Not for VSS profile deploy or video-search ingestion.

Use this skill when the user wants to deploy, run, debug, tear down, or call the REST API of the RTVI-CV 2D detection / tracking microservice. Trigger when the user says things like 'deploy rtvi-cv', 'start warehouse 2d', 'add a stream', 'check rtvi-cv health', or 'stop the perception container'. Not for VLM, embedding, or analytics — use the matching vss-* skill.
