Media Extract

Universal media extraction and analysis skill for Claude Code. Extracts structured knowledge from YouTube videos, web articles, local files, and pasted content.

Features

• YouTube videos - transcript-based analysis OR visual analysis via Gemini
• Web articles - fetch and analyze any URL
• Local media - video, audio, PDF, text files
• Pasted content - transcripts, meeting notes, any text
• Batch mode - multiple sources with comparison
• 11 workflows - summary, golden nuggets, chapters, quotes, workflows, commands, breakdown, full extraction, visual analysis, download, batch

Prerequisites

Required

• yt-dlp - YouTube data extraction
• jq - JSON processing

brew install yt-dlp jq

Required for visual analysis

Visual analysis (Gemini multimodal) lets Claude see what’s on screen in videos - code, terminal, UI, diagrams. It requires:

• Python 3.8+
• The gemini-api-dev Claude Code skill
• A Gemini API key

Install the Gemini skill (pick one method):

# Using Vercel Skills CLI
npx skills add google-gemini/gemini-skills --skill gemini-api-dev --global

# OR using Context7 Skills CLI
npx ctx7 skills install /google-gemini/gemini-skills gemini-api-dev

Then install the Python SDK (used by the extraction script):

pip install google-genai

Installation

1. Copy the skill to your Claude Code skills directory:

cp -r media-extract ~/.claude/skills/content/media-extract

2. (For visual analysis) Set up your Gemini API key:

cd ~/.claude/skills/content/media-extract
cp .env.example .env
# Edit .env and add your Gemini API key

3. Make the fetch script executable:

chmod +x ~/.claude/skills/content/media-extract/fetch.sh

4. Verify installation:

# Test yt-dlp
yt-dlp --version

# Test jq
jq --version

# Test Gemini skill + SDK
python3 -c "from google import genai; print('OK')"

Usage

The skill activates automatically when you share content with Claude Code:

# YouTube - transcript summary (default)
Summarize this: https://youtube.com/watch?v=...

# YouTube - visual analysis (sees code on screen)
Watch this and extract the code: https://youtube.com/watch?v=...

# YouTube - download
Download this video: https://youtube.com/watch?v=...

# Web article
Summarize this article: https://example.com/blog/post

# Local video
Analyze this video: /path/to/tutorial.mp4

# Pasted text
[paste transcript] Extract the golden nuggets from this

# Batch
Compare these two videos: [url1] [url2]
