# Run server-side ingest, search, and edit pipelines on video with VideoDB Skills

Let an agent ingest video, transcribe it, search moments, clip results, and return playable streams without wiring up its own media pipeline.

## Prerequisites

Python 3.9+, a VideoDB API key, network access to VideoDB services, and an agent that can load the skills repo

## Installation

Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- npx skills add video-db/skills

Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- [![Issues](https://img.shields.io/github/issues/video-db/videodb-python.svg?style=for-the-badge)](https://github.com/video-db/videodb-python/issues)
- Get started in two quick steps. Open your AI coding agent (Requires **Python 3.9+**) and follow along.

Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- VideoDB Skills lets your AI coding agent run end to end, server-side video workflows in real time and batch:
- Run reliable, scalable, cost efficient workflows across realtime streams and batch video, with built in AI understanding, without wiring up ffmpeg glue.
