Fetch YouTube video transcripts and transform them into structured content (chapters, summaries, threads, blog posts). Use when the user shares a YouTube URL or video link, asks to summarize a video, requests a transcript, or wants to extract and reformat content from any YouTube video.
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 Content Tool Extract transcripts from YouTube videos and convert them into useful formats. ## Setup ```bash pip install youtube-transcript-api ``` ## Helper Script `SKILL_DIR` is the directory containing this SKILL.md file. The script accepts any standard YouTube URL format, short links (youtu.be), shorts, embeds, live links, or a raw 11-character video ID. ```bash # JSON output with metadata python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" # Plain text (good for piping into further processing) python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --text-only # With timestamps python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --timestamps # Specific language with fallback chain python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --language tr,en ``` ## Output Formats After fetching the transcript, format it based on what the user asks for: - **Chapters**: Group by topic shifts, output timestamped chapter list - **Summary**: Concise 5-10 sentence overview of the entire video - **Chapter summaries**: Chapters with a short paragraph summary for each - **Thread**: Twitter/X thread format — numbered posts, each under 280 chars …

How to install
mdr add martin-hausleitner/martins-awesome-skills/youtube-content@sha256:121d625bacad7fbfThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260513.4e24191, 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.
