Turn a YouTube watch URL into plain transcript text—with or without timestamps—when the user asks for subtitles or captions.
About
youtube-transcript gives agents a clear procedure for pulling spoken content from YouTube videos when the user supplies a valid URL and asks for transcripts, subtitles, or captions. Developers use it to mine conference talks, competitor demos, and tutorial chains without manually copying auto-captions. The skill defines when to activate—YouTube watch or short links—and how to format results, including optional timestamps for citing moments or stripping them for clean summaries and blog drafts. It is a lightweight integration-style skill rather than a full media pipeline: one video, one text artifact. That makes it valuable across research (idea), validation prototypes informed by expert videos, content repurposing, and learning while implementing features shown in screencasts. Shelf placement under Idea → research reflects the most common entry point, not an exclusive limit.
- Extract transcripts, subtitles, or captions from standard YouTube URLs (watch, youtu.be)
- Supports output with or without timestamps
- Triggered when the user provides a YouTube link and asks for transcript content
- Focused single-purpose workflow for video-to-text research
