Extract full transcripts and captions from YouTube videos for content analysis, summarization, note-taking, and repurposing. Supports multiple languages and auto-generated captions. Ideal for research, content creation, and accessibility workflows.

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 Transcript

Extract full transcripts and captions from YouTube videos for content analysis, summarization, note-taking, and repurposing. Supports multiple languages and auto-generated captions. Ideal for research, content creation, and accessibility workflows. Read [the API map](references/sandbase-api-map.md) before selecting a capability.

## Call SandBase capabilities

For every selected tool, call `sandbase_describe_tool` first and use only arguments in its current input schema. Then call `sandbase_call_tool` with the exact `tool_name`.

## Available Tools

- `agentbody_youtube_transcript`
- `youtube_web_v2_video_captions`
- `youtube_web_v2_video_captions_result`

## Workflow

1. Understand the user's research question, target, and context.
2. Call `sandbase_describe_tool` for each selected tool to confirm parameter schema.
3. Call `sandbase_call_tool` with the exact tool_name and schema-defined arguments.
4. Synthesize findings into a clear, evidence-backed answer.
5. Cite sources, note evidence gaps, and separate observations from interpretations.

## Guidelines

- Always call `sandbase_describe_tool` before using any capability.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add sandbaseai/sandbase-skills/youtube-transcript@sha256:f242f690727be0ad

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260813.48597a3, 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.
