Watch Skill for Claude Code Released

·2026.09.09 05:02

Key point

The MCP tool 'Watch Skill' for Claude Code has been released, enabling it to analyze screen recordings to verify code changes.

Details

The developer tool Watch Skill has been released, enabling Claude Code to analyze screen recordings and verify bug fixes. This tool integrates via MCP (Model Context Protocol), extracting timestamped frames from videos and performing OCR to read on-screen text or transcribe subtitles and audio.

Key Features and Workflow

  • Video Analysis: Locates frames at the moment bugs occur and reviews them alongside relevant source code.
  • Fix Verification: Compares post-fix results against specified expectations, such as JSON values or rendered DOM text.
  • Deterministic Verifier: Uses a separate deterministic verifier to determine actual task completion rather than just tool call success.

Deployment and License

  • Provided for free under the MIT License.
  • Using local OCR and audio transcription requires installing additional dependencies and downloading models; Claude API usage costs are separate.
  • During development, Claude Code was used for debugging and integration testing, and the tool was improved by verifying actual returned frames and OCR results to address gaps in existing tests.
