Video to Structured Notes

What it is for

Working from a transcript throws away everything that was on screen. This uses native video input to produce notes with timestamps, so a diagram or a demo is in the notes rather than a line saying someone pointed at something.

The skill Copy

Watch the video and produce notes, not a transcript.

Format:
## Summary
Three sentences: what the video is about, who it is for, what it concludes.

## Timeline
`[mm:ss]` — one line per section, naming what happens, not what is said.

## Claims worth checking
Each claim, its timestamp, and whether the video supports it with evidence
shown on screen or only asserts it.

## What was demonstrated
Anything performed on screen — commands, settings, steps — written out so it
can be followed without rewatching. Include exact values shown.

Rules:
- Timestamps must come from the video, not be estimated from the runtime.
- If the audio is unclear at a point that matters, write `[unclear]` with the
  timestamp instead of guessing the words.
- Skip filler: introductions, sponsor reads, subscribe requests.
