Consolidate video context agent skills

[devhims]

Summary

• consolidate youtube-direct and youtube-watch into a self-contained youtube-ctx skill with direct and progressive visual branches
• consolidate video2ctx-api and video2ctx-monitoring into video2ctx-platform with hosted-data and monitoring branches
• clarify the personal/local versus production/hosted routing boundary across skill metadata and documentation
• update bundled executable paths, CI checks, legacy documentation redirects, internal references, and product copy

Why

The previous four-skill layout exposed implementation boundaries as separate user choices. Two deeper skills reduce installation and routing ambiguity while preserving progressive disclosure inside each skill. The descriptions are self-contained so either skill remains understandable when installed alone.

User and developer impact

• users choose between one local skill and one hosted platform skill
• youtube-ctx needs Node.js 18.17+; FFmpeg remains optional and is used only for exact-frame verification
• video2ctx-platform covers managed YouTube data, account and usage information, monitors, notifications, and delivery preferences
• legacy documentation routes redirect to the consolidated skill pages
• existing users should remove installed copies of the four retired skills after upgrading

Validation

• both skills pass quick_validate.py
• npm run bundle:check in packages/youtube-skills
• consolidated direct and visual executables pass their --help smoke checks
• npx vitest run test/hosted-skills.test.ts — 5 tests passed
• npm run docs:check
• Mintlify build validation, broken-link checks, and accessibility checks
• git diff --check
