YouTube Transcript Note Workflow

Given a YouTube URL, run the following steps in order. Carry outputs forward — do not prompt the user between steps unless a step fails.

Run benevolentbadger with SRT format to get captions with timestamps:

uv run --no-active --project /Users/mtm/pdev/taylormonacelli/benevolentbadger benevolentbadger --format srt "<youtube_url>"

Save the full SRT output — you will need the timestamps in step 5.

Also run with plain text to get the raw transcript for cleaning:
