What it does
Create a per-run subfolder under a Box parent and upload every frame plus a `manifest.json`. Uses Box's simple-upload endpoint (tiny files like JPEG frames don't need chunked `upload_sessions`). Handles folder-name collisions by reusing the existing folder id.
When to reach for it
- Enterprise Box as the canonical store — JWT app + long-lived tokens
- Regulated industries requiring Box's compliance posture
- Re-run idempotency: collision on `BOX_RUN_FOLDER_NAME` lands files in the same folder
Install
npm i -g peepshowUse it
BOX_ACCESS_TOKEN=... \
BOX_PARENT_FOLDER_ID=123456789 \
peepshow ./clip.mp4 --sink boxMake it automatic
Register the sink once — every run fires it afterward. Scope by --when so it only runs for matching videos.
peepshow sinks add box
peepshow sinks add box --when extension=mp4,mov
peepshow sinks add box --when path=/Volumes/Work/Configuration
BOX_ACCESS_TOKENOAuth 2, JWT app, or developer bearer token. requiredBOX_PARENT_FOLDER_IDNumeric folder id. `"0"` is the authenticated user's root folder. requiredBOX_API_URLOverride for Box for Government / private hosts.BOX_UPLOAD_URLOverride for the upload host.BOX_RUN_FOLDER_NAMEPin the subfolder name instead of deriving a timestamp.
Use with an LLM agent
Every peepshow sink reads its config from env vars and receives a single JSON payload on stdin. An LLM agent (Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, Gemini, Codex) can drive the Box sink automatically when three things are true:
- the env vars below are exported in the agent's shell (or a project
.envit can load), - the
peepshowCLI is onPATH— install withnpm i -g peepshow, - a peepshow auto-sink is registered for the run (optional but recommended — makes invocation zero-argument).
1. Set the environment
# Add to ~/.zshrc, ~/.bashrc, or a project .env the agent can load
export BOX_ACCESS_TOKEN="..."
export BOX_PARENT_FOLDER_ID="..."2. Register as an auto-sink
peepshow sinks add box
peepshow sinks add box --when extension=mp4,mov3. Example LLM session
You → drop a
.movinto Claude Code.Claude → auto-invokes
/peepshow:slides ./clip.mov. peepshow extracts frames + audio, theBoxsink forwards the run to the configured bucket / folder. Claude replies with a summary and a link to the created record.
The full transcript JSON is saved next to the frames in the manifest.
Write your own
A sink is any executable that reads the --emit json payload on stdin. Shell, Node, Python, Go — the spec's in docs/PLUGINS.md. Register persistent ones with peepshow sinks add-cmd 'your-command'.
