Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

youtube scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 6 executable files (scripts/analyze_thumbnail_concepts.py, scripts/clone_top_thumbnail_style.py, scripts/generate_seo_description.py, …), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 163 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

YouTube

Fetch the full transcript of any YouTube video and turn it into whatever the user needs — summaries, blog posts, social content, quotes, show notes, or raw text. Then package videos for upload: high-CTR thumbnails, SEO titles, and descriptions.

Requirements

If youtube_video_transcripts_fetch is not in the tool list, stop and tell the user to enable the YouTube toolkit in Hyper.

Two tools — pick the right one

Tool When to use Returns
youtube_video_transcripts_fetch You need the raw transcript text or timestamped segments. Fast, reliable, always get this first. Full text string + segments with start/duration timestamps
youtube_videos_read You need AI-powered extraction from the video — summaries, Q&A, topic segmentation, translation, visual descriptions. Free-form answer to your instruction

Default: start with youtube_video_transcripts_fetch. Use youtube_videos_read when you need something the raw text can't give you (e.g. visual descriptions, translation, or a structured extraction from a very long video).

Critical rules

  1. youtube_video_transcripts_fetch takes 15–30 seconds. It spins up an isolated sandbox. Tell the user it's running and to expect a short wait — don't make them think it's stuck.
  2. Both video IDs and full URLs are accepted. "NZLAdOL9fP8" and "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NZLAdOL9fP8" both work.
  3. Don't fabricate transcript content. Always fetch before summarizing. Never rely on training knowledge about what a specific video says.
  4. Very long videos (>2 hours): youtube_video_transcripts_fetch handles these fine. Only use youtube_videos_read on long videos if you specifically need AI-powered extraction — it can hit token limits on very long content.
  5. No transcript available: Some videos have transcripts disabled. If youtube_video_transcripts_fetch fails, try youtube_videos_read as a fallback — it uses a different extraction method.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
