Don't write a bug report. Record it.
Give Claude Code or Codex a narrated .mov/.mp4 — or a public video link — and talkthrough turns it into searchable transcript, exact frames, OCR and wall-clock timestamps, locally — so your agent writes an evidence-backed issue draft or investigates the fix.
Also works for meetings, workshops, product demos, and production incidents.
Illustration — an animation of the /talkthrough:bug storyline, not a screen capture: the recording is indexed locally (transcript · keyframes · OCR · wall-clock), the evidence checkpoint is assembled, and the draft is ready to file with your own tracker tooling (gh, Jira, a GitHub MCP server — talkthrough itself never leaves your machine and never posts anything).
Real runs, no animation:
unedited session: a narrated recording goes in, a ready-to-file bug-report.md comes out.

the whole thing as files you can re-run: a Playwright-recorded, audio-free .mp4 and the unedited agent output. Every number is reproducible — processing that file gives jobid 8703a66bbe77a7d0 (the job id is* the sha256 prefix, so shasum -a 256 predicts it), 17 keyframes / 4 unique, and 0 transcript segments because there is no audio track.

Quickstart
One command, no system dependencies: ffmpeg falls back to a bundled build, OCR is pip-only, and whisper models download themselves on first use. The only prerequisite is uv (brew install uv or curl -LsSf https://astral.sh/uv/install.sh | sh).
Cold setup has two separate stages: uvx first resolves a compatible Python and the pinned server environment, then the first process_media downloads any missing media/model assets. A plugin update can create a new environment and, without system ffmpeg, fetch the ~80 MB bundled ffmpeg again; shared Whisper/OCR/diarization caches and warm, network-free jobs remain reusable.
