Use when the user says /ingest-youtube <url-or-channel> [--days N], pastes a YouTube URL (youtube.com or youtu.be) wanting a transcript or summary in the vault, asks to ingest, capture, sync, transcribe, or pull a YouTube video, channel, talk, podcast, or keynote into the vault, or wants a video's captions or content available to the knowledge graph. Not for downloading video files, live streams, or non-YouTube sources (Vimeo, Twitch).
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
# ingest-youtube — YouTube-to-vault connector
> **`{SKILL_DIR}`** = this skill's own folder (locally: the directory this SKILL.md lives in; a served brain substitutes the real absolute path before you read this). If a path does not resolve, name the missing file and stop — never guess another location.
Ingests YouTube transcripts into the vault as markdown the graphify pipeline can read and the rest of the AI Brain Starter substrate (decision log, session-close cascade, hooks) can act on.
Same connector pattern as `ingest-github`: adding a new source means a new normalizer, not a new architecture.
## When to use
- User says `/ingest-youtube <url>` for a single video
- User says `/ingest-youtube <channel-handle> [--days N]` for a channel's recent uploads
- User asks to capture, sync, ingest, transcribe, or pull a talk/podcast/keynote into the vault
- User pastes a YouTube URL and asks for a transcript or summary
- User mentions wanting a video's content available to the knowledge graph
Do NOT use for:
- Downloading the actual video file (use `yt-dlp` directly with `-f best`)
- Live streams (transcripts are not stable)
…Read the whole file at its exact version.
How to install
mdr add mycelium-hq/ai-brain-starter/ingest-youtube@sha256:5d7880e8947541d2The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260824.2da316a, 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.
