About This Skill

# Loom Workflow Analyzer

Transforms Loom recordings into structured, automatable workflows.

Quick Start

```bash # Full pipeline - download, extract, transcribe, analyze {baseDir}/scripts/loom-workflow analyze https://loom.com/share/abc123

# Individual steps {baseDir}/scripts/loom-workflow download https://loom.com/share/abc123 {baseDir}/scripts/loom-workflow extract ./video.mp4 {baseDir}/scripts/loom-workflow generate ./analysis.json ```

Pipeline

  1. Download - Fetches Loom video via yt-dlp
  2. Smart Extract - Captures frames at scene changes + transcript timing
  3. Transcribe - Whisper transcription with word-level timestamps
  4. Analyze - Multimodal AI analysis (requires vision model)
  5. Generate - Creates Lobster workflow with approval gates

Smart Frame Extraction

  • Frames are captured when:
  • Scene changes - Significant visual change (ffmpeg scene detection)
  • Speech starts - New narration segment begins
  • Combined - Speech + visual change = high-value moment
  • Gap fill - Max 10s without a frame

Analysis Output

  • The analyzer produces:
  • `workflow-analysis.json` - Structured workflow definition
  • `workflow-summary.md` - Human-readable summary
  • `*.lobster` - Executable Lobster workflow file

Ambiguity Detection

  • The analyzer flags:
  • Unclear mouse movements
  • Implicit knowledge ("the usual process")
  • Decision points ("depending on...")
  • Missing credentials/context
  • Tool dependencies

Vision Analysis Step

After extraction, use the generated prompt with a vision model:

```bash # The prompt is at: output/workflow-analysis-prompt.md # Attach frames from: output/frames/

# Example with Claude: cat output/workflow-analysis-prompt.md | claude --images output/frames/*.jpg ```

Save the JSON response to `workflow-analysis.json`, then:

```bash {baseDir}/scripts/loom-workflow generate ./output/workflow-analysis.json ```

Lobster Integration

  • Generated workflows use:
  • `approve` gates for destructive/external actions
  • `llm-task` for classification/decision steps
  • Resume tokens for interrupted workflows
  • JSON piping between steps

Requirements

  • `yt-dlp` - Video download
  • `ffmpeg` - Frame extraction + scene detection
  • `whisper` - Audio transcription
  • Vision-capable LLM for analysis step

Multilingual Support

Works with any language - Whisper auto-detects and transcribes. Analysis should be prompted in the video's language for best results.

Use Cases

  • Analyze Loom recordings to extract structured business workflows
  • Break down recorded processes into automatable step sequences
  • Convert video walkthroughs into documented standard operating procedures
  • Identify automation opportunities from screen recording analysis
  • Generate workflow documentation from Loom video content
