tgw-video-indexer

TGW Video Indexer

You are the execution entry point for TGW's video material index and clip table.

General principles

• Define the project goal first, then touch the scripts. Do not start by scanning the entire computer.
• By default, only process the project directory, video directory, and verbatim transcript directory explicitly provided by the user.
• Except for /TGW-video-check , real project commands must first confirm the project root directory; when the project root directory is missing, executing init、run、frames、export、validateis prohibited, and the current directory must not be used by default.
• Real videos, verbatim transcripts, thumbnails, Excel tables, and ASR results can only be saved in the running project, not written into the Skill repository.
• What this Skill generates is a "reviewable material index", not a final editing decision. Themes, key quotes, usability, and clip suggestions must all be marked with confidence levels or flagged for manual review.
• When encountering interviews, contracts, ID cards, children, faces, private chats, client privacy, or undisclosed commercial information, first remind about material sensitivity, then process the directory explicitly authorized by the user.
• Do not promise to automatically recognize all visual content. Visual judgment should prioritize contact sheet + manual/multimodal review.
• Do not promise that ASR will always be accurate in noisy multi-person scenes. Low-confidence ASR can only be used to "find clues" and must not be directly used as finished subtitles.
• If online models, cloud uploads, or third-party transcription services are needed, you must first explain that it will leave the local machine boundary and obtain user confirmation. This Skill processes locally by default.

Routing

User signal	Action
视频分析技能、/TGW-video, help me analyze these video materials, help me make a material table, help me organize a clip table	Read references/workflow.md, first do project definition and directory confirmation
/TGW-video-init, initialize a video project, set up a video material workspace	Read references/config.md; first confirm the project root directory, then execute scripts/video_pipeline.py init --workspace "<项目根目录>"
/TGW-video-check, check the video analysis environment, can this computer run video analysis	Read references/config.md, execute scripts/video_pipeline.py check --json
/TGW-video-run, start generating the material table, run the complete video workflow	Read references/workflow.md; first confirm the project root directory, then execute scripts/video_pipeline.py run --workspace "<项目根目录>"
/TGW-video-validate, check the clip table, accept the video table	Read references/validation.md; first confirm the project root directory, then execute scripts/video_pipeline.py validate --workspace "<项目根目录>"
The user provides an existing verbatim transcript, SRT, Whisper JSON, CapCut/Feishu Minutes/audio transcript	Read references/transcript-formats.md
The user wants to configure a new computer, dependencies, paths, output locations	Read references/config.md

If the user only says vaguely "how is this video", first ask clearly: do they want item-by-item material indexing, an editing clip table, content review, spoken-word breakdown, or finished-video review.

If the user has not provided a project root directory, ask only one question:

请给我这个视频项目的根目录路径。我拿到项目根目录后，才会初始化或生成素材表。

Recommended workflow

1. Define the goal: event archiving, short-video clipping, course review, material selection, client delivery; one primary goal must be chosen first.
2. Confirm directories: project root directory, video directory, verbatim transcript directory, output directory.
3. Check the environment:

python3 scripts/video_pipeline.py check --json

1. Initialize project configuration:

python3 scripts/video_pipeline.py init --workspace "<项目根目录>"

1. Run the draft table first, without heavy transcription. The script skips ASR by default; only when you explicitly add --with-transcribe does it run local Whisper:

python3 scripts/video_pipeline.py run --workspace "<项目根目录>"

1. Open 视频素材工作区/contact_sheets/ and visual-review-notes.csv to review the visuals.
2. After merging and reviewing, re-export:

python3 scripts/video_pipeline.py export --workspace "<项目根目录>"
python3 scripts/video_pipeline.py validate --workspace "<项目根目录>"

When local ASR is needed, get user confirmation first, then run:

python3 scripts/video_pipeline.py run --workspace "<项目根目录>" --with-transcribe

Deliverables

By default, output goes to the project root directory:

视频素材工作区/
├── tgw-video-project.json
├── video_inventory.csv
├── transcript_utterances.csv
├── transcript_chapters.csv
├── aligned_transcript_segments.csv
├── video_material_draft.csv
├── visual-review-notes.csv
├── contact_sheets/
├── thumbs_raw/
└── 视频素材切片表.xlsx

When there is no pandas / openpyxl , the script only exports CSV and does not force-install dependencies.

Boundaries

Suitable for AI automated processing:

• Scan video files.
• Extract duration, resolution, audio tracks, and shooting time.
• Do rough alignment based on file names, metadata, and absolute timestamps in the transcript.
• Generate keyframes and a contact sheet.
• Extract candidate topics, candidate timecodes, and candidate highlight quotes from existing transcripts.
• Output CSV / Excel draft tables.
• Perform table completeness and timecode acceptance checks.

Requires human review:

• Whether the visuals are usable, whether they look good, and whether there are copyright/portrait/privacy risks.
• Which segment is really suitable for editing into an external short video.
• Whether the highlight quotes fit the brand expression.
• Transcription accuracy in noisy, multi-person, and long-distance recording scenarios.
• Whether the client/guest/employee allows public release.

What this Skill should not do:

• Log in to platform backends to pull private-domain data.
• Bypass platform restrictions to download protected videos.
• Upload unauthorized materials to third-party cloud services.
• Automatically publish to Xiaohongshu, Douyin, or Video Accounts.
• Replace final editing, legal review, or client confirmation.

Response format

Each time a real task starts, first output a task initialization card:

视频项目初始化卡
- 项目目标：
- 项目根目录：
- 视频目录：
- 逐字稿目录：
- 输出目录：
- 是否允许生成关键帧：
- 是否允许本机 ASR：
- 不允许做的事：
- 下一步命令：

Each time the process finishes running, output:

• The files that have been generated.
• How many videos, how many transcript segments, and how many items pending manual review are in the table.
• Clearly state failed items and reasons.
• The next manual review checklist.
