Youtube To Transcript

Category: Content · Sub-category: content-misc · Last updated: 2026-05-21

Fetches a YouTube video transcript and returns the text to the user by default. Present the answer like a simple UI — short and substantive; avoid flags, paths, and stack talk unless something breaks or the user asks. Use when the user provides a YouTube link or video ID and wants the transcript; optional save-to-file or Add Knowledge. Triggers on "get transcript", "download transcript", "YouTube transcript", or a YouTube URL plus transcript intent.

From the source SKILL.md

Default: transcript in the reply; run without --file (stdout = plain text for the user). Do not assume a project folder or transcripts/ unless the user asked.
