A Note on Versioning & V3 Maturity

First and foremost, I would like to apologize for the inconsistent version numbering used in previous releases. As VideoStand has evolved from a small utility into a standalone video intelligence tool, v3.0.0 marks our official commitment to the Semantic Versioning (SemVer) standard. This major milestone serves as a fresh start and the new baseline for reliability, predictability, and performance. Thank you for your patience and for being part of this growth.

✨ Supported agents

| Agent | Target | | -------------- | ------------- | | Antigravity | agent | | OpenAI Codex | codex | | Kiro | kiro | | Claude Code | claude | | Cline | cline | | Cursor | cursor | | Continue | continue | | Roo | roo | | OpenHands | openhands | | Qwen | qwen | | GitHub Copilot | copilot | | Junie | junie | | Kilocode | kilocode | | CommandCode | commandcode | | Kode | kode | | Mux | mux | | Openclaw | openclaw |

🚀 Installation

Global (recommended)

npm install -g videostand-skill

Without installing (npx)

npx videostand-skill init codex

⚡ Quick Start

# Install for a specific agent (local)
videostand init codex

# Install globally (HOME)
videostand -g init claude

# Install for all agents at once
videostand init all

# Short alias — same behavior
vs init codex

📖 Commands

videostand init <target|all> [--force]      Install the skill
videostand -g init <target|all> [--force]   Install globally

videostand remove <target|all>              Remove the skill
videostand -g remove <target|all>           Remove globally

videostand status [target|all]              Show installation and sync status
videostand sync [target|all]                Update installed skills

videostand where <target|all>               Show installation path
videostand -g where <target|all>

videostand doctor [target|all] [--strict] [--fix] [--json]   Check dependencies
videostand -g doctor [target|all] [--strict] [--fix] [--json]

videostand --help
videostand --version  |  videostand -v

Alias: all commands above work with vs instead of videostand.

📂 Where files are installed

| Mode | Path | | ------------------------ | ------------------------------- | | Local (without -g) | ./<target>/skills/videostand | | Global (with -g) | ~/.<target>/skills/videostand |

Examples:

./.claude/skills/videostand     ← local
~/.claude/skills/videostand     ← global

./.codex/skills/videostand      ← local
~/.codex/skills/videostand      ← global

Note: Some agents use different directories for local vs global. GitHub Copilot CLI installs locally into .github/skills/videostand and globally into ~/.copilot/skills/videostand. Use videostand where copilot to confirm the resolved path.

🩺 Preflight check (doctor)

Check dependencies before running the skill:

videostand doctor              # check general environment
videostand doctor codex        # check specific target
videostand -g doctor claude --strict
videostand doctor all --fix    # auto-install missing dependencies
videostand doctor all --json   # machine-readable output for CI

🔧 Practical examples

videostand init codex
videostand init kiro
videostand init claude
videostand init all

videostand -g init codex
videostand -g init kiro
videostand -g init claude
videostand -g init all --force

videostand where codex
videostand -g where kiro
videostand where all

videostand init codex --force
videostand -g init claude --force

videostand status all
videostand status codex
videostand sync all
videostand -g sync claude

videostand remove codex
videostand remove all
videostand -g remove all

❗ Troubleshooting

| Error | Solution | | ------------------------- | -------------------------------------- | | Skill already exists... | Use --force to overwrite | | Missing target... | Provide one of the 17 targets or all | | Unknown option... | Run videostand --help |
