YouTube Transcripts Skill

Extract transcripts from YouTube videos with Brave-first video discovery and three-tier transcript fallback:

Discovery:

1. Brave Search - preferred for finding relevant public YouTube videos from natural-language questions
2. yt-dlp ytsearch - fallback when Brave is unavailable, uncredentialed, or returns no video URLs

Transcript extraction:

1. Direct - youtube-transcript-api (fastest)
2. Proxy - Webshare residential proxy rotation (native integration, handles rate limits)
3. Whisper - yt-dlp audio download → faster-whisper local transcription (free, GPU-accelerated)
