Recommended Skills
Journey fit
Build is the right primary phase because the skill packages a shipped browser integration for SproutVideo playback flows, which solo builders reference when wiring similar embed download UX. Integrations captures embed and direct-page detection, direct MP4 versus supported HLS-backed paths, and export without leaving the browser context.
