Transcription skill

Transcribe a YouTube URL, a local video file, or a local audio file to plain text using Google's gemini-3.5-flash on Replicate.

export REPLICATE_API_TOKEN=...
python3 <skill-directory>/scripts/transcribe.py <youtube-url | video-file | audio-file> [output-file]

Replace <skill-directory> with the directory containing this SKILL.md.

If the script exits saying yt-dlp or ffmpeg is missing, offer to install it for the user (e.g. brew install yt-dlp or brew install ffmpeg on macOS) before retrying, rather than just reporting the error.
