About Watch Skill

Give AI agents eyes, ears, and verifiable results. Watch Skill turns video, audio and screen activity into searchable, timestamped evidence, and answers did that actually work? with a deterministic contract rather than a model's opinion. Add it to the agent you already use over MCP.
