description

Use this skill for the video-search-and-summarization sample app whenever a developer wants to tune the summarization pipeline, improve summary quality, or diagnose why a video is too slow to process. Trigger especially for requests to change frames per chunk, adjust chunk duration, turn audio transcript on/off, tune frame sampling or multi-frame settings, or explain latency/compute/quality trade-offs in VSS.

VSS pipeline configuration knobs

Use this skill when helping developers tune the Video Search & Summarization (VSS) sample application's summarization pipeline. Ground every answer in the current repository: if code changed, re-open the cited files before giving final guidance. For a full tabular reference, read references/parameter-reference.md.

Environment setup (run first)

This skill drives the Video Search & Summarization app through its real source files, so the VSS application must be present and you must run commands from its app root. Do this before anything else, and it works whether or not the VSS source is already in your workspace.

Run the bundled bootstrap. It first tries to find an existing VSS checkout - walking up from the current directory and inspecting the enclosing git repo - and reuses it without ever re-cloning. Only when no checkout is found does it do a shallow, single-branch, sparse checkout of just sample-applications/video-search-and-summarization from main. It prints the resolved app root on stdout:

# SKILL_DIR is THIS skill's own directory (shown to you when the skill loads);
# in-repo it is .github/skills/vss-pipeline-config. Works the same if the skill is installed standalone.
