The skill
The user corrected an answer about a video — "no, it actually says X", "that's the wrong timestamp", "you misread the error code" — or asks why a video answer was wrong. Use this to record the correction as a lesson so future answers on similar questions improve, and to show what the system has learned and saved.
Learning from mistakes
When a video answer turns out wrong, the correction is worth more than an apology. Report it and Watch Skill learns locally — the mistake is classified, stored as a lesson, injected into future similar questions, and where possible the original question is immediately re-asked to confirm the lesson actually fixes it.
Report a correction
The moment the user corrects a video answer, run:
watch-skill lessons add <video_id> "<question>" "<the wrong answer>" "<the correction>"
The output includes the lesson (error_class, guidance) and, when the
question was re-asked, whether the corrected answer now comes back —
tell the user which it was. Nothing is uploaded; lessons live in
~/.watch-skill/.

The savings meter
watch-skill stats
Lifetime token economics: what text-first answering and the semantic cache have saved versus stuffing raw frames into context. Quote real numbers from it when the user asks whether any of this is worth it.
