Extract transcripts from YouTube videos and generate comprehensive
by sickn33Free
Description
youtube-summarizer is an agent skill that extracts the transcript of a YouTube video and writes a comprehensive, detailed summary of it, using the STAR and R-I-S-E frameworks. It checks that the video is available, extracts the transcript with the youtube-transcript-api Python library, and produces documentation that captures the insights, arguments and key points. It is for educational videos, lectures, tutorials and other informational content that you want to document without rewatching. The skill favours completeness over brevity, so the output is long. Use it when you give it a YouTube link and want a thorough, reference-quality summary, or when you need the transcript itself for analysis. It is part of the sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills repository on GitHub, which has about 47,600 stars. The listing shows it as free, and it has about 2,100 installs. Its security audits show passes from Gen Agent Trust Hub and Socket, with a warning from Snyk. Install it with npx skills add https://github.com/sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills --skill youtube-summarizer.…
