Not pinned. Installing fetches whatever the repository holds at the time you run the command.

No human has reviewed this code. The checks below are a static scan of the files at one commit — nobody has run this skill or judged whether it works. A skill runs with whatever access you give your agent, so read the source before you install it.

Automated safety checks

scanned

This skill failed 3 of 6 checks. A failure is not proof of bad intent; it means something in the code needs a human to look at it before you run it.

  • No undeclared network calls: failed

    Contacts 2 hosts that are neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: console.cloud.google.com, www.youtube.com.

    Every host the skill dials — from its scripts, its config endpoints or the commands it tells the agent to run — is either well-known package and API infrastructure or declared in its own frontmatter. Links in documentation are not counted.

About this skill

What it does

This skill, authored by Kenneth Liao, allows AI agents to access and retrieve data directly from YouTube. It can extract information like video titles, descriptions, view counts, upload dates, and channel details. The skill provides a programmatic interface for interacting with YouTube's public API.

When to use it

  • Market Research: Gather data on trending videos within a specific niche to understand audience preferences.
  • Content Analysis: Analyze video descriptions and titles to identify common themes or keywords.
  • Competitive Intelligence: Track the performance of competitor channels by monitoring their upload frequency and view counts.
  • Automated Summaries: Generate summaries of YouTube videos based on their title, description, and potentially transcript (if available via other skills).

Key capabilities

  • Retrieves video titles
  • Extracts video descriptions
  • Obtains video view counts
  • Gets upload dates
  • Accesses channel details

Example prompts

  • "Find the top 5 most viewed videos about 'sustainable gardening'."
  • "What is the description of the latest video uploaded by [YouTube Channel Name]?"
  • "Give me a list of videos published in the last week with the keyword 'AI art'."

Tips & gotchas

  • Requires an active internet connection to access YouTube's API.
  • Be mindful of YouTube’s API usage limits; excessive requests may result in temporary restrictions.
