Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00013 | $0.00755 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00006 | $0.00378 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00003 | $0.00151 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00001 | $0.00076 |
Grade A, and why
youtube-content 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 9d ago.
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.
This is a copy
84% identical to youtube-content — 30 lines differ, which has more behind it and is treated as the original. This page carries a canonical link to it rather than competing with it.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 78 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
YouTube Content Tool
When to use
Use when the user shares a YouTube URL or video link, asks to summarize a video, requests a transcript, or wants to extract and reformat content from any YouTube video. Transforms transcripts into structured content (chapters, summaries, threads, blog posts).
Extract transcripts from YouTube videos and convert them into useful formats.
Setup
pip install youtube-transcript-api
Helper Script
SKILL_DIR is the directory containing this SKILL.md file. The script accepts any standard YouTube URL format, short links (youtu.be), shorts, embeds, live links, or a raw 11-character video ID.
# JSON output with metadata
python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "https://youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"
# Plain text (good for piping into further processing)
python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --text-only
# With timestamps
python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --timestamps
# Specific language with fallback chain
python3 SKILL_DIR/scripts/fetch_transcript.py "URL" --language tr,en
Output Formats
After fetching the transcript, format it based on what the user asks for:
- Chapters: Group by topic shifts, output timestamped chapter list
- Summary: Concise 5-10 sentence overview of the entire video
- Chapter summaries: Chapters with a short paragraph summary for each
- Thread: Twitter/X thread format — numbered posts, each under 280 chars
- Blog post: Full article with title, sections, and key takeaways
- Quotes: Notable quotes with timestamps
Example — Chapters Output
00:00 Introduction — host opens with the problem statement
03:45 Background — prior work and why existing solutions fall short
12:20 Core method — walkthrough of the proposed approach
24:10 Results — benchmark comparisons and key takeaways
31:55 Q&A — audience questions on scalability and next steps
Workflow
- Fetch the transcript using the helper script with
--text-only --timestamps. - Validate: confirm the output is non-empty and in the expected language. If empty, retry without
--languageto get any available transcript. If still empty, tell the user the video likely has transcripts disabled. - Chunk if needed: if the transcript exceeds ~50K characters, split into overlapping chunks (~40K with 2K overlap) and summarize each chunk before merging.
- Transform into the requested output format. If the user did not specify a format, default to a summary.
- Verify: re-read the transformed output to check for coherence, correct timestamps, and completeness before presenting.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

youtube-content is a skill published in the GitHub repository kevinnft/ai-agent-skills (14 stars, last pushed 1mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 13 tokens to every session and 755 once invoked, about $0.0001 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. It is 84% identical to youtube-content, differing in 30 lines, and is treated as a copy.

elevation-and-depth
Elevation — subtle shadows and layering — communicates visual hierarchy by lifting elements above the surface. Combined with border-radius, it creates the tactile quality of cards, modals, and interactive surfaces. Use when designing cards, dropdowns, modals, tooltips, or any floating UI element.
loading-states-and-perceived-performance
Manage user expectations during wait times with appropriate loading states — from simple spinners to complex skeleton screens and staggered animations. Perceived performance is often more important than actual load time. Use when designing data-heavy components, handling API calls, building hero sections, or improving…

Tabs organise related content under a shared context — switching tabs swaps the view without leaving the page. Use when a screen has multiple distinct content areas that share a common header or action set, and when the user needs to switch between them frequently.

status-colors-and-errors
Keep status and error colours minimal and consistent — too many semantic colours confuse users. Each colour must mean exactly one thing. Errors should be recoverable, large failures must be prevented, and the UI should always give the user a path forward. Use when designing status indicators, error states, form…
