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 1 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 1 host that is neither well-known infrastructure nor declared in the skill's frontmatter: transcriptapi.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 enables AI agents to retrieve and process transcripts from YouTube videos. It allows for direct access to video content text, facilitating analysis and summarization without manual downloading.

When to use it

  • Extracting dialogue or narration from educational tutorials for study notes.
  • Analyzing interview recordings to identify key themes or speaker sentiment.
  • Converting long-form podcast episodes into searchable text documents.
  • Generating summaries of technical talks for quick reference.

Key capabilities

  • Fetches transcript data directly from YouTube video URLs.
  • Provides raw text output suitable for further processing by the AI agent.
  • Supports various video lengths and formats available on the platform.

Example prompts

  • "Summarize the main points of this [YouTube URL] about machine learning."
  • "Extract all questions asked in this interview transcript from [YouTube URL]."
  • "Translate the dialogue from this [YouTube URL] into Spanish."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure the target YouTube video has an available auto-generated or uploaded transcript; videos without captions may return empty results. Verify that the specific video URL is accessible and not restricted by privacy settings before requesting extraction.
