Reach for this when a YouTube channel is the subject: a pasted @handle or channel URL, a creator's recent uploads, their full catalogue, or a search inside one channel. Also good for keeping an eye on what somebody publishes. Skip it for creating channels or account chores.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# YouTube Channels

YouTube channel tools via [TranscriptOut.com](https://transcriptout.com/?utm_source=youtube-skills&utm_medium=clawhub&utm_content=youtube-channels).

## Setup

If `$TRANSCRIPTOUT_API_KEY` is not set, read [references/auth-setup.md](references/auth-setup.md) and follow the instructions there to get and store the key.

## Required Header

Every request carries these headers:

- **Authorization:** `Bearer $TRANSCRIPTOUT_API_KEY`
- **X-Client:** `youtube-skills-clawhub/youtube-channels`, so TranscriptOut knows the call came from this skill

Every response is one JSON envelope. Success: `{"ok": true, "request_id": "...", "data": {...}}`. Error: `{"ok": false, "code": "...", "detail": "...", "request_id": "..."}`. Branch on the machine-readable `code`, not on the human text. The remaining credit balance rides in the `X-Credits-Remaining` response header.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add artemchuikin/youtube-skills/youtube-channels@sha256:21158c2c0aaee7bd

The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.2.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
