AB transcribe-video
Extract transcript or subtitles from a local video file. Use this skill whenever the user asks to transcribe a video, extract speech-to-text, get subtitles, or wants a text version of what's said in a video. Also trigger on "提取字幕", "视频转文字", "语音转文字", "transcribe", "extract audio text", or when the user references getting a script/transcript from any video file (mp4, mkv, mov, avi, webm). This skill is for LOCAL video files — for YouTube or other online URLs, use the download-video skill first to get the file, then transcribe it.

What is at stake
Medium-severity findings: the skill is probably honest, but read what alarmed the scanner.
Below is the worst case for this category. The finding here is medium: the guard saw a sign, not a proof.
The instructions or scripts send data out: environment variables, keys, file contents, chat history. You may never notice, because the agent performs the upload as "part of the task".
If the upload is not needed for the task, remove it: catalogs flag such skills and delist them. If it is needed, name the destination explicitly, say what leaves the machine, and give the user a switch.
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
