Use when saving a YouTube video as a Markdown note or backfilling a saved video's metadata, description, or pinned comments. Includes transcripts and inline explanatory screenshots; not chat-only summaries, generic web clipping, or editing video files.
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
# clipping youtube videos requires `yt-dlp`; screenshots also require `ffmpeg`. follow the destination's naming conventions and inspect the reference clip when asked to match one. metadata-only updates leave the body and assets unchanged. ## capture the source fetch metadata and up to 30 top-sorted comments without replies: ```bash yt-dlp --skip-download --write-comments \ --extractor-args 'youtube:max_comments=30,all,0,0;comment_sort=top' \ --dump-json 'YOUTUBE_URL' > 'TEMP_INFO.json' ``` use a fresh temporary path. reuse supplied capture data instead of fetching it again. inspect stderr and returned fields; on failure, keep retrieved metadata and comments, record the error, and stop retrying. ## frontmatter put source metadata in the Markdown file, not just a sidecar or body paragraph. use null for unavailable fields. preserve existing capture/transcript fields. | fields | source and representation | | --- | --- | | `source`, `submitted_source`, `video_id` | canonical URL, original supplied URL, video ID | | `title`, `channel`, `channel_id`, `channel_url`, `uploader_id`, `uploader_url` | source title and channel identity; `uploader_id` is the handle | …

How to install
mdr add bdsqqq/dots/clipping-youtube-videos@sha256:6fcd6ae567a5ebd0The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261107.0f3a578, 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.
