Deconstruct YouTube videos and transcripts into hooks, retention mechanics, emotional beats, structure, and reusable content blueprints. Triggers on video analysis, transcript analysis, viral formulas, hooks, and retention breakdowns.
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 Video Analyst
Deconstructs YouTube video transcripts to extract viral formulas, hook architecture, retention mechanics, and emotional engineering patterns.
## When to Use This Skill
This skill activates when users:
- Want to analyze a YouTube video transcript
- Need to reverse-engineer viral content formulas
- Ask for hooks, retention mechanics, or emotional triggers from a video
- Want to create content templates based on successful videos
- Request a "viral blueprint" or content deconstruction
## Getting the Transcript
### Method 1: Auto-Fetch from YouTube URL
Run the fetch script to automatically extract the transcript:
```bash
python ${CLAUDE_SKILL_DIR}/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "YOUTUBE_URL_OR_VIDEO_ID"
```
The script outputs the full transcript text ready for analysis.
### Method 2: Manual Paste
User can paste the transcript directly. Common sources:
- YouTube's built-in transcript feature (click "..." → "Show transcript")
- Services like ytscribe.ai, youtubetotranscript.com
- Any other transcript extraction tool
## Analysis Process
Approach the transcript like a crime scene investigator examining evidence. Extract EVERYTHING systematically:

How to install
mdr add genfeedai/skills/youtube-video-analyst@sha256:d6d480565c447bceThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
