PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears coherent and purpose-aligned, but it requires a Gemini API key and sends selected video content to Google Gemini for analysis.
Install only if you are comfortable providing a Gemini API key and sending the chosen videos or YouTube URLs to Google Gemini. Use non-sensitive test videos first, confirm provider data-handling expectations, and install any required SDK only from trusted sources. This review is based on the supplied artifact text, which was partially truncated.

Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
Requests may use your Gemini account quota, billing, and access permissions.
The skill expects a Gemini API key and will make requests under the user's Google/Gemini account. This is expected for the stated API integration, but it is still sensitive delegated authority.
client = genai.Client(api_key=os.getenv("GEMINI_API_KEY"))Use a dedicated or least-privileged API key where possible, monitor usage and billing, and revoke the key if you stop using the skill.
Selected videos may leave your local device and be processed by Google Gemini.
The skill uploads user-selected local videos to the Google Gemini File API for processing. This is central to the stated purpose and disclosed, but video files can contain sensitive people, audio, locations, or business information.
Use the File API upload flow for larger videos ... myfile = client.files.upload(file="video.mp4")
Only analyze videos you are allowed to share with the provider, review Google/Gemini data handling terms, and use clipping or lower-scope inputs when possible.
You may need to install the Gemini SDK yourself, and the provided artifacts do not pin a package version or source.
The skill is instruction-only and has no packaged code to run, but SKILL.md references the Google GenAI Python library, so dependency installation and version selection are left to the user.
No install spec — this is an instruction-only skill.
Install the official Google GenAI SDK from a trusted package source and consider pinning versions in your own environment.
