c-video
About
The c-video skill enables Claude to download videos and process media using `yt-dlp` and `ffmpeg`. It can download from hundreds of sites, extract audio tracks, convert between formats, and clip video segments. Use this skill for automating video/audio downloading, extraction, and conversion tasks directly within Claude.

What This Skill Does
Enables Claude to download online videos, extract audio tracks, convert between formats, and cut/clip video segments using yt-dlp and ffmpeg.
Available CLI Tools
yt-dlp — Video Downloading
# Download a video (best quality)
yt-dlp "https://youtube.com/watch?v=ID"
# Download audio only as MP3
yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 "https://youtube.com/watch?v=ID"
# Download specific format/resolution
yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[height<=1080]+bestaudio" "URL"
# Download to specific output path
yt-dlp -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "URL"
# List available formats
yt-dlp -F "URL"
ffmpeg — Processing & Conversion
# Convert video format
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 output.webm
# Extract audio from video
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vn -acodec mp3 output.mp3
# Clip a segment (start time, duration)
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -ss 00:01:30 -t 00:00:45 -c copy clip.mp4
# Resize video
ffmpeg -i input.mp4 -vf scale=1280:720 output.mp4
Usage Guidelines
- Confirm the output directory before downloading large files
- Use
-xwithyt-dlpfor audio-only extraction instead of downloading video first
Notes
- Only download content you have rights to use
yt-dlpmay need periodic updates:pip install -U yt-dlp

llamaguard
OtherLlamaGuard is Meta's 7-8B parameter model for moderating LLM inputs and outputs across six safety categories like violence and hate speech. It offers 94-95% accuracy and can be deployed using vLLM, Hugging Face, or Amazon SageMaker. Use this skill to easily integrate content filtering and safety guardrails into your AI applications.
cost-optimization
OtherThis Claude Skill helps developers optimize cloud costs through resource rightsizing, tagging strategies, and spending analysis. It provides a framework for reducing cloud expenses and implementing cost governance across AWS, Azure, and GCP. Use it when you need to analyze infrastructure costs, right-size resources, or meet budget constraints.
quantizing-models-bitsandbytes
OtherThis skill quantizes LLMs to 8-bit or 4-bit precision using bitsandbytes, achieving 50-75% memory reduction with minimal accuracy loss. It's ideal for running larger models on limited GPU memory or accelerating inference, supporting formats like INT8, NF4, and FP4. The skill integrates with HuggingFace Transformers and enables QLoRA training and 8-bit optimizers.
dispatching-parallel-agents
OtherThis Claude Skill dispatches multiple agents to investigate and fix 3+ independent problems concurrently. It is designed for scenarios involving unrelated failures that can be resolved without shared state or dependencies. The core capability is parallel problem-solving, assigning one agent per independent problem domain to maximize efficiency.
