What this skill does
text Set up https://github.com/browser-use/video-use for me. Read install.md first to install this repo, wire up ffmpeg, register the skill with whichever agent you're running under, and set up the ElevenLabs API key — ask me to paste it when you need it. Then read SKILL.md for daily usage, and always read helpers/ because that's where the editing scripts live. After install, don't transcribe anything on your own — just tell me it's ready and wait for me to drop footage into a folder. bash Clone and symlink into your agent's skills directory git clone https://github.com/browser-use/video-use ~/Developer/video-use ln -sfn ~/Developer/video-use ~/.claude/skills/video-use # Claude Code ln -sfn ~/Developer/video-use ~/.codex/skills/video-use # Codex Install Python dependencies cd ~/Developer/video-use uv sync # or: pip install -e .
