"description": "Use when YouTube is or could be relevant — video\/channel\/playlist links, video IDs, @handles, creator lookups, summaries, quotes, topic research, tutorials, talks, product reviews, or anywhere video content is fresher or richer than text search. Covers transcripts, video\/channel search, channel browsing, playlists, and in-channel search."

YouTube Full
Complete YouTube toolkit via TranscriptAPI. Transcripts, search, channels, and playlists in one skill — no yt-dlp, no headless browser, no binary to keep patched.
When to Use This Skill
- Someone pastes a YouTube link, video ID, or @handle and wants the content, not just the URL
- You need a transcript to summarize, quote, translate, or search within
- You're researching a topic where a talk, tutorial, or expert walkthrough will answer it better than a blog post
- You're tracking a channel for new uploads
What This Skill Does
- Transcripts — full text with timestamps, one API call, 1 credit
- Search — video or channel search across YouTube, 1 credit/page
- Channel data — videos, in-channel search, latest uploads (the last one is free)
- Playlists — bulk video extraction for courses and lecture series
How to Use
Basic Usage
Get the transcript for https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID and summarize it in 3 bullets.
Advanced Usage
Search TED for talks about complexity theory from the last two years, then pull transcripts for the top 3 and compare their arguments.
Example
User: "Has @NASA posted anything new this week?"
Output: Calls the free channel/latest endpoint, returns new uploads with title, publish date, and view count — no credits spent.
Setup
First run prompts for a TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY (or Claude can provision one automatically). Free tier: 100 credits, no card required.
Tips
channel/latestandchannel/resolveare free — use them for polling and handle lookups before spending a credit on anything else- Failed or rate-limited calls don't cost credits
- Works the same on a laptop or a cloud server — TranscriptAPI handles the infrastructure YouTube blocks for direct scraping
Common Use Cases
- Daily digest of new uploads across tracked channels
- Turning a lecture playlist into study notes
- Competitive research across a channel's back catalog
- Content repurposing — video into blog post, thread, or newsletter
