- [COMMAND_EXECUTION]: The skill uses
yt-dlpto extract video metadata and subtitles. It also includes theyt-dlp -Ucommand, which allows the utility to self-update its binary. - [EXTERNAL_DOWNLOADS]: Fetches transcript data from
https://deepapi.coand interacts with the internet to update the localyt-dlpscraper tool. - [PROMPT_INJECTION]: The skill processes external data (YouTube transcripts), creating a surface for indirect prompt injection if the agent interprets the saved text as instructions in a future context.
- Ingestion points: External YouTube transcript data fetched via DeepAPI or local scraping (SKILL.md).
- Boundary markers: Absent; the skill does not wrap the output in delimiters or provide instructions for the agent to treat the resulting transcript as untrusted data.
- Capability inventory: The skill has access to
curlfor network requests,yt-dlpfor scraping, andpython3for text transformation. - Sanitization: Basic text cleaning, HTML unescaping, and whitespace normalization are performed via a Python script, but there is no filtering for malicious prompt instructions embedded in the transcripts.
