Automates video metadata extraction and file downloading by processing task lists through MCP services.
The parse-video skill is a specialized workflow automation tool for Claude Code designed to handle bulk media acquisition. It operates by reading a todolist.md file, extracting video identifiers and URLs, and then orchestrating MCP services to fetch metadata and download media assets. The skill manages the entire lifecycle of a video task—from saving structured JSON metadata and MP4 files to updating task checkboxes in markdown—making it an ideal solution for developers building automated content pipelines or media archival systems.
