SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes scripts (resource) and references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

Manually turning YouTube demo videos into detailed product requirements documents is time‑consuming, error‑prone, and lacks concrete evidence such as timestamps and screenshots.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Automated video acquisition: Downloads the source video at up to 1080p and captures metadata, description, and comments.
  • Evidence extraction: Generates transcripts, extracts keyframes every 5 seconds, and collects high‑resolution screenshots tied to timestamps.
  • PRD generation: Synthesizes a markdown PRD with timestamped requirements, embedded screenshots, and a change‑summary table.
  • Use case: Product managers can instantly produce a complete, evidence‑first PRD for any feature demonstrated in a YouTube video.

Quick Start

Tell the skill the YouTube video URL and a base filename, and it will create a full PRD with all required artifacts in the docs folder.

What is the best way to automate product requirements extraction from a software demo video?

The best way to automate product requirements extraction from a software demo video is using an automated Skill that handles video acquisition, transcript generation, and keyframe evidence collection. This approach organizes artifact storage and maps timestamped requirements directly into a markdown PRD.

Does the YouTube PRD generation process store video artifacts and metadata locally?

Yes, the YouTube PRD generation process stores video artifacts and metadata locally. After downloading the source video, it organizes all generated transcripts, high-resolution screenshots, and metadata into a structured docs folder using your specified base filename.

Are there limitations when downloading YouTube videos at 1080p for keyframe extraction?

A limitation when downloading YouTube videos at 1080p for keyframe extraction is dependency on the source video's maximum available resolution. The automated process extracts keyframes every 5 seconds, which may result in high storage requirements for lengthy demo videos.
