YouTube Watcher

Fetch transcripts from YouTube videos to enable summarization, QA, and content extraction.

How To Use This Skill

CRITICAL: Read this section carefully before running any commands.

  1. The script is located at scripts/get_transcript.py inside this skill directory
  2. There is NO file named youtube_watcher.py — do not attempt to run it
  3. You MUST pass a YouTube URL as the first argument to the script
  4. The script uses a hybrid approach: tries fast API first, falls back to yt-dlp if needed
  5. Both dependencies auto-install if missing

Correct command format:

shell(command="python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_transcript.py 'https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID'", timeout_seconds=300)
