Fine to try. Some of what it can do is expected: a coding skill usually runs build and test commands.

Summarize or answer questions about a YouTube video by pulling its closed captions instead of watching it. Use when given a YouTube URL or video ID and asked what it's about, for a summary, for key points or timestamps, for a specific quote or claim, or to check whether a video covers some topic.

Works with any agent that supports SKILL.md skills.

What this skill can do

Install

Paste this into your terminal. It downloads exactly the version we scanned, not whatever is newest.

if [ -e ~/.agents/skills/'youtube-transcript' ] || [ -L ~/.agents/skills/'youtube-transcript' ]; then echo 'A skill folder named youtube-transcript already exists — not replacing it' >&2; false; else d=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/colonelpanic8/dotfiles' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet '928c8b560f5a5fe1ecebdb8c6d5b954189ef9c4d' -- 'dotfiles/agents/skills/youtube-transcript' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'dotfiles/agents/skills/youtube-transcript' ~/.agents/skills/'youtube-transcript' && rm -rf "$d"; fi

Codex reads ~/.agents/skills directly. For Claude Code, Cursor, Copilot, Gemini CLI, Antigravity or OpenCode, also link it. For Claude Code: ln -s ~/.agents/skills/'youtube-transcript' ~/.claude/skills/'youtube-transcript' (other agents: ~/.cursor/skills, ~/.copilot/skills, ~/.gemini/skills, ~/.gemini/config/skills, ~/.config/opencode/skills). Or install through the finder skill, which does both.
