bibigpt-skill — Video Summarizer Agent Skill

Claude Code · Codex · ChatGPT · OpenClaw · Cursor. Summarize YouTube, Bilibili, podcasts, and local files via the bibi CLI or hosted MCP.

AI Agent skills for BibiGPT. Multiple skills, one CLI (bibi), one account.

Skill	When to use
bibi	Watch a video: summarize, transcript, chapters
bibi-library	Already-saved videos, notes, collections, in-library search
bibi-feed	Subscribe to channels, pull latest, mark seen
bibi-vision	Frames / OCR / slides, mind map

npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill still installs bibi (existing onboarding). Add a sibling with --skill:

npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --skill bibi-library
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --skill bibi-feed
npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --skill bibi-vision

Agent landing: bibigpt.co/mcp. Hand-held per-host install pages: bibigpt.co/agent (ChatGPT, Claude Code, OpenClaw, WorkBuddy, Doubao Work, QwenWork, DeepSeek Harness).

Ways to use:

1. Agent plugin — one install adds the hosted MCP server plus all 4 skills: Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, Gemini CLI, GitHub Copilot (see below)
2. BibiGPT Desktop + CLI Skill — install bibi CLI, works with Claude Code / OpenClaw / Codex / WorkBuddy / QwenWork / Doubao Work / DeepSeek Harness
3. Remote MCP Server — zero install, works with any MCP client (Claude, ChatGPT, Cursor, etc.): https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp
4. OpenAPI — direct HTTP calls for containers, CI, or custom integrations

Every plugin signs in with OAuth on first use — no API key to paste.

Install as a Claude Code plugin

/plugin marketplace add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
/plugin install bibi@bibigpt

On Claude Code 2.1.275 or later, one line works: /plugin install bibi --marketplace JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill.

Install as a Codex plugin

From the terminal:

codex plugin marketplace add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill
codex plugin add bibi@bibigpt

Or inside a Codex session: /plugin marketplace add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill, then install bibi from the marketplace tab in /plugins. Also works in the Codex IDE extension (Settings → Plugins) and the ChatGPT desktop app (Work / Codex).

Install in Gemini CLI

gemini extensions install https://github.com/JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill

Then run /mcp auth bibigpt once.

Install in Cursor or GitHub Copilot

The repo is also a Cursor plugin (.cursor-plugin/plugin.json + .mcp.json) and an Agent Plugins package (plugin.json + mcp.json) for GitHub Copilot. Without a marketplace, add the MCP server directly:

{ "mcpServers": { "bibigpt": { "url": "https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp" } } }

The server is also in the official MCP Registry as io.github.JimmyLv/bibigpt.

Skill Structure

skills/
├── bibi/                 # Watch: summarize / subtitle / chapter
├── bibi-library/         # Saved videos, notes, collections
├── bibi-feed/            # Channel subscribe + latest feed
└── bibi-vision/          # Frames, OCR, mind map

Each directory has SKILL.md (intent + triggers), references/ (auth, CLI), and workflows/ where a multi-step path exists. All four skills call the same bibi binary — there is no second npm package named video-cli.

Workflows

bibi (watch-video) workflows:

Workflow	What it does	Trigger examples
Quick Summary	One URL → AI summary	"summarize this video", "总结"
Deep Dive	Chapter-by-chapter + Q&A	"chapter summary", "分章节总结"
Transcript Extract	Raw subtitles with timestamps	"get subtitles", "获取字幕"
Article Rewrite	Video → polished article	"turn into article", "AI改写"
Batch Process	Multiple URLs at once	"batch summarize", "批量总结"
Research Compile	Cross-source synthesis	"compare these videos", "综合分析"
Export Notes	Save to Notion/Obsidian/file	"save to Notion", "导出笔记"

Sibling skills own the rest: bibi-library (saved library / notes / collections), bibi-feed (channels / latest), bibi-vision (frames / mind map).

Quick Start

1. Install Desktop App

curl -fsSL https://bibigpt.co/install.sh | bash

Works on macOS (auto-uses Homebrew), Linux (downloads AppImage), and detects Windows (prompts to use winget).

Or install manually per platform:

• macOS: brew install --cask jimmylv/bibigpt/bibigpt (Homebrew tap)
• Windows: winget install BibiGPT --source winget or download from bibigpt.co/download/desktop
• Linux: Download .deb / .AppImage from bibigpt.co/download/desktop

Then log in: bibi auth login (opens browser for OAuth, saves token automatically).

2. Install Skill

Claude Code

npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill

OpenClaw

npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill --agents OpenClaw --yes

DeepSeek Harness

dsh plugin --profile web add "github:JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill#path:/dsh-plugin"

Restart the profile and /bibi shows up under Skills. Keep the quotes — # starts a shell comment. Source and the disk-copy alternative live in dsh-plugin/. Copying skills/bibi into ~/.agents/skills/bibi also works (shared with Claude Code).

WorkBuddy (Tencent)

Download: workbuddy.cn. Skills live in ~/.workbuddy/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.

npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill -g -y

WorkBuddy custom skills need agent_created: true in the SKILL.md frontmatter (this repo includes it). Then /reload-skills or restart the app.

Fallback: copy skills/bibi to ~/.workbuddy/skills/bibi.

Step-by-step: https://bibigpt.co/agent/workbuddy

豆包工作 / Doubao Work

Download desktop: doubao.com/download/desktop. Doubao Work does not publish a filesystem skill directory — do not invent ~/.doubao/skills.

In the desktop sidebar open 技能 · 连接器 · 伙伴, create a skill named bibi, and paste skills/bibi/SKILL.md.

Step-by-step: https://bibigpt.co/agent/doubao

千问工作 / QwenWork

App: qwenwork.cn. Skill dir: ~/.qwenworkcn/skills/. Paste this into QwenWork:

Please download https://github.com/JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill and copy skills/bibi to ~/.qwenworkcn/skills/bibi

QwenWork clones and loads the skill from chat. Docs: https://help.aliyun.com/zh/qwenwork/skills

Step-by-step: https://bibigpt.co/agent/qwenwork

3. Usage

Ask your agent to summarize any video, audio URL, or local file:

> Summarize this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx
> Summarize this local file: /path/to/meeting-recording.mp4

The agent will automatically detect the best mode and route to the right workflow.

Commands

Command	Description
bibi summarize "<URL>"	Summarize a video/audio URL
bibi summarize "/path/to/file.mp4"	Summarize a local audio/video file
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --async	Async mode (long videos)
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --chapter	Chapter-by-chapter summary
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --subtitle	Fetch subtitles/transcript only
bibi summarize "<INPUT>" --json	Full JSON output
bibi auth check	Check auth status
bibi auth login	OAuth login via browser (saves token automatically)
bibi check-update	Check for new version
bibi upgrade	Download and install latest version (alias: self-update)

---

Updating

BibiGPT ships three independently updateable layers. Pick the one that matches what you want refreshed.

Layer	Updates	Command	When to run
Skill content (workflows, references, intent router)	npm-distributed, manual	npx skills update JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill	Weekly, or when changelog adds a new MCP tool / workflow
bibi desktop CLI (binary + embedded SKILL.md + manifest dispatcher)	Self-update or package manager	bibi upgrade (or brew upgrade --cask bibigpt / winget upgrade BibiGPT)	When the changelog mentions CLI changes
Remote MCP server (https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp)	Always latest, server-side	automatic — restart your MCP client to pick up new tools	Never manually; happens server-side

Update the skill

npx skills update JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill

The skill does not auto-update — Agents read whatever was last fetched. Re-run when you want new BibiGPT capabilities, fixed workflows, or new MCP tools surfaced. For a clean reinstall:

npx skills remove JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill && npx skills add JimmyLv/bibigpt-skill

The GitHub Releases page tracks what each version changed.

Update the bibi CLI

bibi check-update    # peek at the latest published version
bibi upgrade         # download and install (uses brew on macOS, installer on Windows)

Or via package manager: brew upgrade --cask bibigpt / winget upgrade BibiGPT --source winget / fresh download from bibigpt.co/download/desktop.

Manifest is hot-cached, not embedded. Even without bibi upgrade, the CLI dispatcher fetches https://bibigpt.co/api/cli-manifest.json on first call (24h TTL) — newly-released agent procedures show up the next day. bibi upgrade only matters when the dispatcher itself or the embedded SKILL.md changes.

Update the MCP server

Nothing to do — the remote MCP endpoint always serves the latest meta.mcp.enabled tool list. Restart your MCP client (Claude Desktop, Cursor, etc.) if you don't see a newly-released tool — that refreshes its tools/list cache.

Note: The desktop app build is triggered via the build-tauri-desktop-app GitHub Actions workflow. After a successful build, artifacts are uploaded to OSS and the latest.json manifest is updated automatically — the client checks this manifest for update availability.

---

Remote MCP Server (No Install Required)

BibiGPT also provides a remote MCP server at https://bibigpt.co/api/mcp — works with any MCP-compatible client. Streamable HTTP transport with OAuth 2.1 authentication.

Available Tools

Tool	Description
summarize_video	Summarize a video or podcast URL
summarize_video_with_config	Summarize with custom prompt, model, language
summarize_by_chapter	Chapter-by-chapter summary
get_subtitle	Get transcript/subtitles with timestamps
create_summary_task	Create async task for long videos
get_task_status	Check async task status
