YouTube Skill

Search YouTube, list videos, channels, playlists, view comments, download videos, and extract transcripts.

First-Time Setup

For API commands (your channel data): Run npx tsx ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/gmail/scripts/gmail.ts auth to authenticate with Google. Tokens are stored per-project in .claude/google-skill.local.json.

For yt-dlp commands (any public content): Install yt-dlp with brew install yt-dlp (no auth needed).

Using Your Own Credentials (Optional)

By default, this skill uses embedded OAuth credentials. To use your own Google Cloud project instead, save your credentials to ~/.config/google-skill/credentials.json.
