Kickstarter guide

Install the plugin in Claude Code using '/plugin marketplace add bradautomates/claude-video' or '/plugin install watch@claude-video'. Once installed, send a YouTube URL to Claude Code and it will process frames and transcript into a structured timeline. Optionally pair with a Gemini API key (free via Google AI Studio) for native YouTube understanding, then reconcile both outputs into an agent spec using a skill-creator agent.
