What problem does it solve?
Quickly extracting meaningful summaries and key points from many local MP4 videos is time-consuming and manual; this Skill automates that work by producing consistent, structured Markdown summaries for each file.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Batch video summarization: Scans directories recursively and summarizes every MP4 it finds, skipping already-processed files.
- Custom extraction prompts: Accepts inline prompts or prompt files to replace the default summary format for targeted information extraction (e.g., tools, action items, timestamps).
- Reliable cloud processing: Uploads videos to the Gemini Files API, waits for processing, generates Markdown via the Gemini model, and cleans up uploaded files after completion.
- Use Case: Convert a folder of lecture recordings or research interviews into concise, searchable Markdown notes with consistent structure.
Quick Start
Use the video-summarizer skill to create a Markdown summary for all MP4 files in the current directory using the default structured format.
