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

Use when the user wants a YouTube video's transcript fetched, wants to summarize/analyze/quote a YouTube video by its spoken content, wants to search YouTube (globally or a channel handle's videos), wants a channel handle resolved to its channel ID, or wants the videos in a YouTube playlist. Calls the getyoutubetranscript.com public API - requires an API key (free tier available, no card required).

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=$(mktemp -d) && git clone --quiet --filter=blob:none --no-checkout 'https://github.com/davepoon/buildwithclaude' "$d" && git -C "$d" checkout --quiet 'b8e39b909f5e248090b16b2fd62048ba0ac6a70e' -- 'plugins/all-skills/skills/youtube-transcript' && mkdir -p ~/.agents/skills && cp -R "$d"/'plugins/all-skills/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.
