What it does
A Claude Code plugin that extracts frames with ffmpeg and transcribes audio with timestamps — Gemini, OpenAI or local Whisper — handing both to the model. YouTube URLs work directly via yt-dlp. It deliberately stops at perception: the interpretation is the model's. Frames and transcript go wherever your backends point, which matters for recorded meetings and anyone else who appears in them, and sampling too sparsely means the model simply never sees the moment you asked about.
