Search YouTube for long, recent, well-watched content and curate ranked lists you can refine and transcribe. Use when the user wants to find videos or build a watch list.
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 Search + Curation ```bash youtube "system design interviews" # → saves ./lists/system-design-interviews.md youtube "rl lectures" --captions --num 8 # only videos WITH transcripts youtube "rust async" --preset fresh # ranking preset youtube "query" --stdout # print only (legacy) ``` Finds fresh, long, deep content, ranks it, and **saves a list you curate** — promote picks, tag, exclude channels, expand. When the Picks are right: `vtd transcript --list <name>` transcribes them all → [vtd skill](../video-transcript-downloader/SKILL.md). Stdlib-only by default; `--backend ytdlp` and `playlist-import` additionally need `yt-dlp` on PATH. ## Install Run the installer from this skill's own directory (next to `SKILL.md`): ```bash ./install.sh # → ~/.local/bin/youtube (no deps; symlink only) ``` ## Search → list ```bash youtube "<query>" [filters] # saves ./lists/<slug>.md, prints path + preview youtube "<query>" --save rl-set # name the list explicitly ``` Each entry carries a real `youtube.com/watch?v=ID` (vtd-ready) + channel · duration · views · age · ★score. ### Filters | Flag | Default | What | …

How to install
mdr add devskale/skale-skills/youtube@sha256:33b519fac2233c4eThe line at the top of this page pins the label v2.3.0, 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.
