Make Claude "watch" a video — local file, public URL (yt-dlp), or Jira attachment (fully automated when an Atlassian API token is configured). Extracts keyframes with ffmpeg and transcribes audio with faster-whisper (multilingual), then Claude reads frames + transcript to answer the user's question. Use when the user wants to analyze a screen recording, bug repro video, demo capture, or any video they point at. Triggers - "watch this video", "analyze this video", "what happens in <file>.mp4", "transcribe and watch", "process this bug repro", a Jira ticket key followed by "watch the video", a YouTube/Loom/TikTok/etc. URL with "watch this" or "summarize this".
