Overview
What It Does
Vss Search Archive packages a focused media & files workflow for an AI agent. Use this skill to run top-level VSS fusion search on archived video, or to ingest video files / RTSP streams for search. Do NOT use for ad-hoc visual Q&A (use vss-ask-video), live captioning (use vss-deploy-dense-captioning), or video summarization and reports (use vss-summarize-video). It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
