videodb
See, Understand, Act on video and audio. See- ingest from local files, URLs, RTSP/live feeds, or live record desktop; return realtime context and playable stream links. Understand- extract frames, build visual/semantic/temporal indexes, and search moments with timestamps and auto-clips. Act- transcode and normalize (codec, fps, resolution, aspect ratio), perform timeline edits (subtitles, text/image overlays, branding, audio overlays, dubbing, translation), generate media assets (image, audio, video), and create real time alerts for events from live streams or desktop capture.
npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill videodb --agent codex
Same command for any agent — swap --agent for claude-code, cursor, copilot.
Weekly change comes from our own snapshots, not the repository page — it measures attention, not adoption.
# VideoDB Skill **Perception + memory + actions for video, live streams, and desktop sessions.** ## When to use ### Desktop Perception - Start/stop a **desktop session** capturing **screen, mic, and system audio** - Stream **live context** and store **episodic session memory** - Run **real-time alerts/triggers** on what's spoken and what's happening on screen - Produce **session summaries**, a searchable timeline, and **playable evidence links** ### Video ingest + stream - Ingest a **file or URL** and return a **playable web stream link** - Transcode/normalize: **codec, bitrate, fps, resolution, aspect ratio** ### Index + search (timestamps + evidence) - Build **visual**, **spoken**, and **keyword** indexes - Search and return exact moments with **timestamps** and **playable evidence** - Auto-create **clips** from search results ### Timeline editing + generation - Subtitles: **generate**, **translate**, **burn-in** - Overlays: **text/image/branding**, motion captions - Audio: **background music**, **voiceover**, **dubbing** - Programmatic composition and exports via **timeline operations** ### Live streams (RTSP) + monitoring - Connect **RTSP/live feeds** - Run **real-time visual a

What does the videodb skill do?
See, Understand, Act on video and audio. See- ingest from local files, URLs, RTSP/live feeds, or live record desktop; return realtime context and playable stream links. Understand- extract frames, build visual/semantic/temporal indexes, and search moments with timestamps and auto-clips.

How do I install it?
Run `npx skills add mturac/everything-openai-codex --skill videodb --agent claude-code` — it drops the skill into your project so the agent can pick it up. Swap the --agent value for codex, cursor or copilot if you use one of those.
Where does this skill come from?
From mturac/everything-openai-codex, a repository with 84 stars. We read it straight from the repository tree rather than a submitted listing, so what you see here is what is actually published.
Is a popular skill a good skill?
Not necessarily. Stars measure attention, not adoption — a repository can trend for a week and be abandoned. That is why we show the weekly change from our own snapshots next to the total, instead of a single flattering number.
