YouTube Transcript Downloader

This skill helps download transcripts (subtitles/captions) from YouTube videos using yt-dlp.

When to Use This Skill

Activate this skill when the user:

  • Provides a YouTube URL and wants the transcript
  • Asks to "download transcript from YouTube"
  • Wants to "get captions" or "get subtitles" from a video
  • Asks to "transcribe a YouTube video"
  • Needs text content from a YouTube video

How It Works

Default Workflow:

  1. Check if yt-dlp is installed - install if needed
  2. Try manual subtitles first (--write-sub) - highest quality, human-created
  3. Fallback to auto-generated (--write-auto-sub) - usually available
