Download all public videos from a YouTube channel (or a playlist, single video, or Short) to a local folder, named with upload date-time (YYYY-MM-DD_HH-MM-SS.mp4), capped at 720p mp4. Uses yt-dlp + ffmpeg. Use when the user asks to download YouTube videos, a channel's videos, a playlist, Shorts, or batch-download videos with datetime filenames.
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 Videos Downloader Download every public video from a YouTube channel (or a playlist / single video / Short) into a user-specified folder, named by upload datetime. **YouTube is yt-dlp's strongest platform — this is the simplest of the three downloader skills.** No browser mirror (unlike `instagram-videos`) and no third-party fallback engine (unlike `tiktok-videos`). It is single-engine: `yt-dlp` does both listing and download. ## Inputs | Parameter | Required | Example | |---|---|---| | YouTube URL (channel, playlist, video, or short) | yes | `https://www.youtube.com/@mkbhd` | | Output directory | yes | `out/youtube` | | Max height | no | `720` (default) | | Timezone for filenames | no | `America/Santiago` (default) | Accepted URL shapes (the script normalizes them): - Channel root: `youtube.com/@handle`, `/channel/UC...`, `/c/name`, `/user/name` → expands to BOTH the `/videos` and `/shorts` tabs - A specific tab/playlist: `.../videos`, `.../shorts`, `?list=...` → used as-is - Single video: `youtube.com/watch?v=...`, `youtu.be/...` - Short: `youtube.com/shorts/...` ## Prerequisites …

How to install
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/youtube-videos@sha256:c751c7c22cce6d4bThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.ec45941, 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.
