What changed\n- Detects supported video URLs in a user turn and, when watch-skill is already installed locally, mounts its existing stdio MCP server for that turn.\n- Supports YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Loom, and direct common video file URLs.\n- Gives the agent a focused instruction to index once, cite timestamped evidence, and reuse the resulting index.\n- Wires the same integration through existing Claude and ACP MCP seams.\n\n## Architecture and safety\n- Reuses watch-skill's own MCP server (watch-skill serve); no video engine, indexing cache, or verification loop is recreated.\n- Detection is conservative: normal links and prose do not trigger it.\n- No package installation, download, external request, or cloud processing occurs when watch-skill is unavailable.\n\n## Verification\n- corepack pnpm typecheck\n- corepack pnpm test\n- corepack pnpm build\n- Focused deterministic detection tests.\n\n## Limitations\n- Local file attachments and screen recordings need to be surfaced through the composer/attachment path before they can be handed off automatically.\n- This slice does not start THE LOOP automatically; later computer verification work can request it through the mounted tools.\n- This is intentionally based on current upstream main; it remains independent of unmerged PR #61/#62.

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • New Features

    • Added support for analyzing referenced videos from YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, Loom, and common video-file links.
    • When available, video references can be indexed to provide timestamped evidence and support follow-up questions.
    • Added optional local video-analysis integration support.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for detecting supported video links and ignoring unrelated URLs.

Warning

Review limit reached

@carbongotfound, you've reached your PR review limit, so we couldn't start this review.

Next review available in: 43 minutes

Enable usage-based reviews in Billing to review now. Otherwise, wait until the next included review is available.
You're only billed for reviews past your plan's rate limits ($0.25/file).

How can I continue?

After more reviews become available, a review can be triggered using the @coderabbitai review command as a PR comment. Alternatively, push new commits to this PR.

To avoid repeated limits, reduce automatic review volume by pausing incremental auto-reviews earlier, using label-based review opt-in, excluding WIP or generated PR titles, or requesting reviews manually when the PR is ready. If your team needs uninterrupted high-volume reviews, an organization admin can enable usage-based reviews.

How do review limits work?

CodeRabbit enforces per-developer PR review limits for each organization. Most developers receive the normal plan review availability.

For paid Pro and Pro+ PR reviews, CodeRabbit uses adaptive limits for sustained high-volume activity. When a developer's recent PR review activity reaches the 95th percentile or higher among CodeRabbit users, additional reviews become available more gradually as earlier reviews age out of the rolling window.

Please refer docs for additional details.

📝 Walkthrough

Walkthrough

The server detects supported video URLs, checks for a local watch-skill executable, and conditionally adds its MCP integration. ACP and Claude provider adapters register the server. The system prompt instructs video indexing and timestamped citations.

Changes

Watch-skill video integration

Layer / File(s) Summary
Watch-skill detection and configuration
server/watch-skill.ts, server/watch-skill.test.ts, server/contracts.ts
Adds video URL extraction, local executable detection, serve configuration, integration tests, and the optional watchSkill contract.
Turn dispatch and prompt wiring
server/index.ts
Enables watch-skill for turns with supported video references and adds indexing, timestamp citation, and follow-up reuse instructions.
Provider MCP registration
server/drivers/acp/core.ts, server/drivers/claude.ts
Registers watch_skill with ACP and Claude, including Claude tool pre-approval.

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~15 minutes

Mergeability Score: 🟡 Moderate · up to eed43

This change adds automatic local video-tool mounting for supported links, but availability checks can stall unrelated requests and URL-less follow-up questions cannot retain access to the referenced video. These runtime and correctness issues should be fixed or explicitly accepted before merge.

Expand tests around the detector contract.

The tests cover one youtu.be URL and one direct file URL. Add a negative case for an ordinary page on a supported host, positive cases for Vimeo, Twitch, and Loom, and a direct file URL with a query string and surrounding punctuation. These cases protect the stated supported-host and non-trigger behavior.

Inline comments:
In `@server/drivers/acp/core.ts`:
- Around line 143-144: Update the watchSkill server mapping in the ACP adapter
to convert watchSkill.env entries into ACP’s { name, value }[] format instead of
always passing an empty environment, preserving an empty list when no
environment is provided; add a regression test covering non-empty environment
forwarding.

Apply the same fix in `@server/contracts.ts` around lines 112 - 113.

In `@server/index.ts`:
- Around line 445-447: Update the integrations.watchSkill prompt in the
video-reference message so singular references retain “index it once,” while
multiple references say to index each referenced video once and reuse each
corresponding index for follow-up questions.
- Around line 416-417: Update the startTurn flow around videoReferences and
integrations.watchSkill to persist the active video ID or URL per thread,
restore that reference for URL-less follow-up turns, and register
watchSkillIntegration whenever the thread has an active video. Ensure
watch-skill serve processes use the same persistent index across restarts rather
than process-local state.

In `@server/watch-skill.ts`:
- Around line 4-5: Restrict the host-based URL detection in VIDEO_HOST and its
related watch-skill matching logic to provider-specific video paths or IDs, so
ordinary pages such as channel and directory URLs are rejected. Keep VIDEO_FILE
as a separate direct-file extension branch and preserve support for valid
YouTube, Vimeo, Twitch, and Loom video URLs.
- Line 3: Update VIDEO_URL matching or its URL-candidate processing to remove
trailing sentence punctuation such as periods, commas, semicolons, colons, and
quotes before constructing the URL; preserve valid query and fragment characters
so VIDEO_FILE accepts URLs followed by prose punctuation.
- Around line 15-16: Replace the synchronous probe in hasWatchSkill with an
asynchronous execFile or spawn-based availability check using the existing
--version arguments, timeout, and hidden-window behavior. Make hasWatchSkill
asynchronous, await the probe result, and update its caller to await it before
adding the integration while preserving the current success and failure
outcomes.

Forward watchSkill.env in ACP server configuration.

The current producer returns an empty environment, so this is not a current runtime failure. The contract allows non-empty watchSkill.env, but the ACP adapter drops it. Convert it to ACP’s { name, value }[] format and add a regression test.

Use an asynchronous watch-skill availability probe.

execFileSync blocks the shared Node event loop while watch-skill --version runs, potentially delaying unrelated requests for up to 2 seconds. Use asynchronous execFile or spawn with the same timeout, then await the result before adding the integration.

The local-video handoff is useful, but this needs fixes before merge. The host matcher currently treats any page on YouTube/Vimeo/Twitch/Loom as a video; the synchronous probe can block each matching turn for two seconds; ACP drops the integration environment; and URL-less follow-up turns lose the mounted tool/index. Please make the probe async, validate provider-specific video URLs and trailing punctuation, forward env values, persist the active video per thread, and expand the detector/integration tests.

Addressed the actionable feedback in the latest branch commit. Detection now accepts only provider-specific video URLs (plus direct video files), strips trailing prose punctuation, and includes Vimeo/Twitch/Loom and negative-page coverage. hasWatchSkill is asynchronous and cached instead of synchronously blocking every matching turn. ACP now forwards watch-skill env as {name,value} entries with a regression test. The last valid video URL is persisted per bot/thread, so URL-less follow-ups remount watch-skill and use its durable local index after a harness restart. Verified: corepack pnpm exec vitest run server/watch-skill.test.ts server/drivers/acp/acp.test.ts (7 passed; 10 POSIX-only ACP tests skipped on Windows) and corepack pnpm typecheck.
