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).

Use this skill when deploying, operating, or integrating the VSS 3.2 GA RT-Embed Video Embedding microservice. Covers Docker Compose bring-up, GPU and storage prerequisites, the `/v1` REST API (file uploads, text and video embeddings, live RTSP streams, health and metrics), Redis/Kafka/OTel integration, common failure modes, and teardown.

Use to deploy the vss-behavior-analytics service standalone (entrypoint, config-source, optional calibration). Not for the full warehouse deploy.

Use this skill when producing a VSS analysis report — Mode A per-clip VLM, Mode B incident-range via video-analytics. Not for standalone video summarization, real-time alerts or ad-hoc Q&A.

Use this skill when reading video-analytics metrics, incidents, alerts, and sensor data via the VA-MCP server (port 9901). Not for live VLM or incident-range narrative reports.

Use this skill to ask the VSS agent's video_understanding tool a fresh visual question about a recorded clip. Not for prior tool output, search hits, or metadata-answerable questions.

Use to call the VIOS REST API (sensor list, timelines, clip extraction, snapshots, add/delete sensors and streams). Not for VLM inference or search.

Use for VSS alert workflows — real-time monitoring, Alert-Bridge subscriptions, Slack notifications, incident queries, camera onboarding. Not for non-alert analytics.

Use to select, configure, deploy, verify, debug, or tear down a VSS profile (base, search, lvs, warehouse, edge). Not for standalone microservices — use the vss-deploy-* skill.
