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?

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

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:

watch-skill ask <video_id> "<the user's actual question>"
watch-skill moment <video_id> <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:

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).
