YouTube Clip Extractor

Overview

This skill downloads YouTube videos, analyzes transcripts for compelling clip moments, extracts clips using ffmpeg, and generates platform-ready on-screen text and captions. It integrates with the existing caption and social content skills to deliver complete, publishable assets.

When to Use This Skill

• You have a YouTube URL and want to extract the best clips
• You want automated clip identification based on hook/coda criteria
• You need clips cut and ready for Descript or other editors
• You want on-screen text hooks and platform-specific captions for each clip

Do NOT use for:

• Full podcast production workflow (use podcast-production skill instead)
• Text-only social posts (use social-content-creation skill)
• Already-downloaded videos (skip to Phase 2)
