Full Analysis
- [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: The documentation provides instructions to download the yt-dlp binary and its associated public key from its official GitHub repository (github.com/yt-dlp/yt-dlp). This is standard installation behavior for the tool.
- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill guides the user or agent through executing system commands for installation (e.g., pip install, brew install, pacman -S) and managing file permissions (chmod a+rx) for the downloaded executable. These are expected administrative tasks for setting up a command-line utility.
- [DATA_EXPOSURE]: The documentation covers the use of the --cookies and --cookies-from-browser flags, which involve handling authentication data. This is a core functionality of yt-dlp required for accessing restricted content and is documented for legitimate use.
