# Video Query Command
## Compatibility Note
This pi wrapper preserves the original video-query workflow while using a bundled skill-local helper script instead of the legacy plugin root.
Analyze a video file using Google Gemini API and answer questions about its content.
**Video Path:** $1
**Query:** $2
## Pre-Flight Checks
1. **Verify Video Path Provided**
- If `$1` is empty: STOP with "Error: Video path required. Usage: /skill:ac-tools-video-query <video-path> <query>"
2. **Verify Query Provided**
- If `$2` is empty: STOP with "Error: Query required. Usage: /skill:ac-tools-video-query <video-path> <query>"
3. **Verify Script Exists**
- Resolve the bundled helper script path from this wrapper skill directory
- Check that script exists at resolved path
- If not found: STOP with "Error: video-query.py script not found in plugin"
4. **Verify GEMINI_API_KEY**
- Check if GEMINI_API_KEY environment variable is set
- If not set: STOP with "Error: GEMINI_API_KEY not set. Export it: `export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key`"
## Execution
1. **Resolve Script Path**
- Use skill-local path resolution:
```bash
SCRIPT_PATH="./video-query.py"
```
2. **Run Video Query Script**
- Execute: `uv run "$SCRIPT_PATH" "$1" "$2" --json`
- Capture output
3. **Parse JSON Response**
- Extract: video_path, query, model, response, usage, cost, time_seconds
4. **Format and Present Results**
Present results as:
```
## Video Analysis Results
**Video:** <video_path>
**Model:** <model>
**Query:** <query>
### Response
<model response text>
---
**Cost:** $<total_cost_usd> | **Tokens:** <input_tokens> in / <output_tokens> out | **Time:** <time_seconds>s
```
## Error Handling
| Error | Action |
|-------|--------|
| Video not found | Show: "Video file not found: $1" |
| API key not set | Show: "GEMINI_API_KEY not set. Export it: `export GEMINI_API_KEY=your_key`" |
| API error | Show full error output |
| Script error | Show full error output |
| Script not found | Show: "video-query.py not found in plugin" |
## Setup
