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.

  • Declares what it does: passed

    SKILL.md parses and declares a name and a description.

    SKILL.md exists, its frontmatter parses, and it declares a name and a description.

  • No obfuscated payloads: passed

    No encoded or obfuscated payloads.

    No base64, hex or compressed blob is decoded and then executed, and no encoded shell commands.

  • No credential access: passed

    Reads no keys, tokens, keychains or credential files.

    Neither the code nor the SKILL.md instructions read SSH keys, cloud credentials, keychains, token stores, browser cookie databases or dotfiles that hold secrets.

  • No pipe-to-shell installers: passed

    No pipe-to-shell or download-and-run installers.

    No `curl … | sh` pattern, in the code or in the instructions, that runs code fetched at run time.

  • Pinned to a commit: passed

About this skill

What it does

This skill enables AI agents to interact directly with YouTube's infrastructure, allowing them to search for videos, retrieve metadata, and manage channel data programmatically. It bridges the gap between automated decision-making and video content discovery without requiring manual browsing.

When to use it

  • Automating research workflows that require scanning thousands of videos for specific topics or keywords.
  • Building custom dashboards that aggregate real-time statistics from multiple YouTube channels.
  • Creating agents that curate video lists based on dynamic user preferences or trending data.
  • Integrating video content retrieval into larger media management ecosystems.

Key capabilities

  • Search and discovery of video content across the platform.
  • Retrieval of detailed metadata including titles, descriptions, view counts, and upload dates.
  • Channel-specific data access for targeted analysis.
  • Programmatic interaction with YouTube's API endpoints.

Example prompts

  • "Search for the top 10 most viewed tutorials on Python programming uploaded in the last month."
  • "Retrieve metadata and current view counts for all videos from the channel 'TechCrunch'."
  • "Find videos related to renewable energy that have received over 1 million views."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your AI agent has valid API credentials configured before attempting to query the service, as unauthorized access will fail. Be mindful of YouTube's rate limits and usage policies to avoid account suspension during high-volume automated searches.
