Video Understanding

Category: Content  ·  Sub-category: video  ·  Last updated:
Call the vss agent to run video understanding on video to answer a text question. Use when the user asks about video content, or about visual details that cannot be answered from conversation history, search hits, or metadata alone.

From the source SKILL.md

Use this skill when you need details about the video which requires VLM to look at the video frames — for example the agent has no usable prior answer and needs a fresh look at the pixels for a specific clip.
