When To Use This Skill (vs universal-downloader)
| Scenario | Use |
|---|---|
| Public YouTube/Vimeo/TikTok video, public Twitter media | universal-downloader (yt-dlp) |
| Public image gallery (Pixiv, public Pinterest, public Instagram profile) | universal-downloader (gallery-dl) |
Direct file URL (.pdf, .zip, .mp4) |
universal-downloader (curl) |
Private FB album / shared FB photos / set=ms.c... URLs |
this skill |
| Google Photos shared album (login required, FE-only auth) | this skill |
| Instagram private profile / stories of private accounts | this skill |
| Pinterest private board, LinkedIn gallery, Slack file gallery | this skill |
| Anything yt-dlp says "Login required" AND gallery-dl can't authenticate | this skill |
Rule of thumb: if yt-dlp --cookies-from-browser chrome <URL> and gallery-dl <URL> both fail because the content is gated or rendered only after JS+auth, fall through to this skill.
