Watch Skill: find the moment, then check the result

How to index a recording, inspect a timestamp, and write a bounded check.

The short version

I would use Watch Skill on a short recording with one question you can answer yourself. Find the relevant timestamp, open the actual frame and compare it with a frozen expected result. Keep those two jobs separate: a video can show what happened, while a deterministic check evaluates the requirement you wrote.

This guide covers indexing a recording, inspecting a cited moment and writing a bounded check. Our original example is a two-item cart that keeps a shipping charge after crossing a free-shipping threshold. It differs from the owner's single-item tax example.
