Use when someone gives a YouTube link (or a local video/audio file) and wants chapter timestamps, a chapter list, video sections, a timeline, or timestamps for the description — including Arabic/RTL videos. Triggers on "get timestamps", "make chapters", "YouTube chapters", "split this video into sections", "توقيتات", "فصول", "شبترات للفيديو".
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 Chapters
## Overview
Turn any video into ready-to-paste YouTube chapters. Two moves:
1. **Run the helper** to get a clean, timestamped transcript.
2. **You cut it into chapters** and output them in the exact format below.
The script handles fetching/transcribing (any language). The chaptering judgment — where topics change and what to call them — is yours.
## When to use
- A **YouTube URL** (any language) and they want chapters / timestamps / sections.
- A **local video or audio file** ("here's my video, timestamp it").
- A **transcript or SRT they paste** — skip Step 1, go to Step 2.
Not for: summarizing without timestamps (that's just a summary), or cutting/editing the video.
## Step 1 — Get a timestamped transcript
```
python3 scripts/transcript.py "<youtube-url-or-file-path>"
```
Options: `--lang ar` (force a language), `--window 12` (seconds per line), `--out t.txt` (also save it).
It prints `TITLE`, `DURATION`, `LANGUAGE`, `SOURCE`, then `M:SS⇥text` lines:
- **YouTube with captions** → pulled via `yt-dlp` (fast: subtitle track only, no video download, no speech-to-text). Manual subtitles beat auto-captions.

How to install
mdr add jamalmohafil/claude-skills/youtube-chapters@sha256:6ae887b19a42788dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260825.145698f, 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.
