Loom Workflow
VerifiedAI-native workflow analyzer for Loom recordings. Breaks down recorded business processes into structured, automatable workflows. Use when: - Analyzing Loom videos to understand workflows - Extracting steps, tools, and decision points from screen recordings - Generating Lobster workflow files from video walkthroughs - Identifying ambiguities and human intervention points in processes

# 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
- Download - Fetches Loom video via yt-dlp
- Smart Extract - Captures frames at scene changes + transcript timing
- Transcribe - Whisper transcription with word-level timestamps
- Analyze - Multimodal AI analysis (requires vision model)
- 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
