/watch
Run the bundled Python script. With the gemini engine (a GEMINI_API_KEY is configured) Google's video model watches the video and the report carries its timestamped answer for you to relay.

Native captions come first; the chosen local or cloud backend is only a fallback. Transcript-only evidence cannot establish visual facts.
Resolve the skill and interpreter
SKILL_DIR is the absolute directory containing this SKILL.md; scripts/ sits beside it.
Commands below use python3 for macOS/Linux. On Windows, verify a working Python 3.10+ with python --version or py -3 --version and use that interpreter. python3 is not always a Store alias; inspect the actual result. In PowerShell use $SKILL_DIR rather than Bash variable syntax, for example:
python "$SKILL_DIR/scripts/setup.py" --json
Use the host's available shell, image viewer, and question tool. AskUserQuestion and Bash are examples, not requirements for every host.
