Mechanism
Breaks down how the skill works and what it produces, so you can quickly judge whether it fits your scenario and value.
When a user provides a YouTube URL or video ID and asks for the transcript, subtitles, or captions of a video.
uv run scripts/get_transcript.py with the URL/ID, optionally --timestamps.<id>-transcript.txt if no path given.A raw or timestamped transcript file/text of the YouTube video, ready for reading or further processing.
Use Cases
A researcher needs the transcript of a 40-minute lecture video to quote and analyze. They provide the YouTube URL and ask for a transcript. The skill fetches captions via the API, outputs a clean paragraph text without timestamps, and saves it as a txt file. This saves hours of manual note-taking and ensures accurate quotes.
A content editor wants to create subtitled clips and needs exact timings. They pass a youtu.be link with --timestamps. The skill returns `[MM:SS] text` formatted captions, saved with video ID name. The editor uses timestamps to locate and cut precise moments, speeding up editing workflow.
