Transcribe video files directly into timed transcripts and subtitle-ready artifacts using hosted Whisper video-to-text. Use this when the input is a video and the goal is speech extraction, caption generation, or edit-prep timing.

What this skill does

# Video Transcription

## Use When
- The input is a video file and the goal is speech extraction, timed transcript,
caption generation, multilingual transcript, or edit-prep timestamps.
- Use `video-analysis` instead when the user needs semantic visual analysis.

## Do Not Use When
- The task belongs to ideation, QA, or another released skill listed in the handoff section.
- Required inputs are missing and guessing would change the result.

## Execution Boundary
- Released endpoint key is `transcription-whisper-with-video` through hosted
`media-file` and `media-generation`.
- Use `enableTimestamps: true` by default when results drive subtitles or edit
decisions.
- Hosted video transcription is async. Submit writes request, response, manifest,
normalized transcript path, generation handle, provider status, provider URLs,
and artifacts when already completed.

## Source And Path
- Before submit, derive `durationSeconds` from the source video and include it in
the hosted capability request input for billing/preflight.
- Start with one source file before larger batches.
- Keep internal requests, responses, normalized transcripts, and downloaded
artifacts under `.postplus/video-transcription`; keep final user-facing
transcript exports outside `.postplus`.

## Handoff
- If status is pending, return the manifest path, `generationHandle`,
not keep the conversation open just to poll.
- When completed, hand off `normalizedTranscriptPath`, downloaded artifacts, and
final transcript paths to `subtitle-packager` if SRT/ASS is needed.

## Stop Conditions
- Stop when required user intent, source evidence, or owned input artifacts are
missing and guessing would change the result.
- If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do
not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local
payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools.

## Public Command Boundary

- Choose the smallest matching command or workflow from the user input and run
it directly.
- Readiness diagnostics: `postplus doctor --skill video-transcription`.
- If an owned CLI or script command fails, report the exact error and stop. Do
not bypass the failure with metadata-only answers, readiness probing, local
payload rewrites, fallback providers, or unpublished tools.
- Use `postplus media schema --json` only when constructing or repairing an unknown request shape.
- Hosted media capability: `postplus media capability --request <hosted-capability-request.json> --output <result.json>`.
- Use the capability request shape required by the selected workflow; do not call provider APIs directly.
- If the CLI returns a quote-confirmation challenge, run `postplus quote confirm --json --challenge-file <challenge.json>` and retry with the returned token.

watch

Included

Watch a video (URL or local path). Downloads with yt-dlp, extracts auto-scaled frames with ffmpeg, pulls the transcript from captions (or Whisper API fallback), and hands the result to Claude so it can answer questions about what's in the video.

humanizer

Included

Humanize AI-generated text by detecting and removing patterns typical of LLM output. Rewrites text to sound natural, specific, and human. Uses 28 pattern detectors, 560+ AI vocabulary terms across 3 tiers, and statistical analysis (burstiness, type-token ratio, readability) for comprehensive detection. Use when asked to humanize text, de-AI writing, make content sound more natural/human, review writing for AI patterns, score text for AI detection, or improve AI-generated drafts. Covers content, language, style, communication, and filler categories.

generating-mermaid-diagrams

Included

Salesforce architecture diagrams using Mermaid with ASCII fallback. Use this skill when generating text-based diagrams for Salesforce architecture, OAuth flows, ERDs, integration sequences, or Agentforce structure. TRIGGER when: user says "diagram", "visualize", "ERD", or asks for sequence diagrams, flowcharts, class diagrams, or architecture visualizations in Mermaid. DO NOT TRIGGER when: user wants PNG/SVG image output (use generating-visual-diagrams), or asks about non-Salesforce systems.
