Transcribe a multi-talk conference livestream or long YouTube video into separate per-talk transcripts. Parses timestamps from the video description to split talks, downloads audio/video, transcribes each segment, then uses an LLM to clean up and format the transcripts with key takeaways and frequent timestamps. Use when user says "transcribe this conference", "split this livestream into talks", "transcribe each talk separately", or provides a YouTube URL of a multi-hour event stream with…
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
# Conference Transcribe Input: a YouTube URL with chapter timestamps or another multi-talk recording. Transcribe a multi-talk conference livestream into individual, cleaned-up per-talk markdown files with key takeaways and frequent timestamps. ## Lessons Learned (from AIE Europe Day 1, April 2026) This skill was born from a real transcription session. Here's what worked and what didn't: ### What Worked 1. **YouTube auto-captions as primary source** -- YouTube's English auto-captions (VTT) are surprisingly good and *instant*. No download wait, no model download, no GPU needed. Prefer this over Whisper for YouTube videos that have captions available. 2. **`yt-dlp --write-sub --write-auto-sub --sub-lang en`** to grab captions directly, then parse the VTT file. 3. **`yt-dlp --download-sections`** to download individual talk clips as MP4 (for archiving/sharing), parallelized with `ThreadPoolExecutor(max_workers=2)`. 4. **Parsing the video description** for chapter timestamps -- the description is the ground truth for talk boundaries. …

How to install
mdr add swyxio/skills/conference-transcribe@sha256:f576a5f317239d6dThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0, 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.
