yt-dlp media acquisition layer feeding ffmpeg-ops: format selection avoiding post-download transcodes, clip-at-download, cookies/auth, channel archive sync, SponsorBlock, subtitles, failure triage (403s, nsig). Triggers on: yt-dlp, download video/playlist/channel, youtube to mp3.
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
# yt-dlp Operations Operational expertise for yt-dlp as the **acquisition layer**: get the right bytes onto disk in the right codec, politely, resumably — then hand off. Anything that re-encodes, cuts precisely, grades, or packages after download is [ffmpeg-ops](../ffmpeg-ops/SKILL.md) territory; AI-driven editing of what you acquired (transcript → EDL → final cut) is `cutcraft` — a separate tool, not shipped by this repo. The full chain is acquire → process → edit. ## Doctrine: version first, formats second **yt-dlp vs the platforms is an arms race.** Releases land near-monthly and extractors break between them — the majority of "yt-dlp is broken" reports are a stale binary. Before debugging *anything*, check staleness: ```bash bash skills/ytdlp-ops/scripts/check-ytdlp-version.sh --live # vs latest GitHub release bash skills/ytdlp-ops/scripts/check-ytdlp-version.sh --live --json | jq '.data.days_behind' ``` Exit `10` = installed build is >60 days behind latest, a documented flag vanished from `yt-dlp --help`, or the smoke extraction hit an extractor-internal error → update before any other triage. Exit `7` is advisory: the check ran but …

How to install
mdr add 0xdarkmatter/claude-mods/ytdlp-ops@sha256:a34603989788f979The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260830.ca77a9f, 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.
