What is yt-search-setup?

A setup tool for adding a YouTube search command to Claude Code, a command-line coding assistant.

It helps install yt-dlp, create the search script, and add a /yt-search command that lists recent videos with details such as titles, channels, views, duration, dates, and URLs.

It removes the need to install the search utility, write the search script, and register the command by hand.

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.

Model	Per session	Once invoked
Fable 5.1	$0.00059	$0.00577
Opus 5	$0.00030	$0.00289
Sonnet 5	$0.00012	$0.00115
Haiku 4.5	$0.00006	$0.00058

Measured 8d ago against content hash a9534b35b60b, method: parsed. Prices are Anthropic first-party input rates as of 2026-09-07, from the pricing page.

Security

Grade A, and why

yt-search-setup 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 8d 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.

What it actually says

YouTube Search Skill Setup

This skill installs the /yt-search slash command for Claude Code, enabling YouTube search directly from the CLI.

What it sets up

yt-dlp — The CLI tool that powers the search (installed via pip/pipx/brew)
Search script — ~/.claude/scripts/yt-search.py — Python script that queries YouTube and formats results
Slash command — ~/.claude/commands/yt-search.md — Claude Code command that invokes the script

Setup steps

1. Check and install yt-dlp

which yt-dlp || pip install yt-dlp

If pip fails due to externally-managed-environment, try pipx install yt-dlp or brew install yt-dlp.

2. Create the scripts directory

mkdir -p ~/.claude/scripts

3. Create the search script

Write ~/.claude/scripts/yt-search.py with:

YouTube search via yt-dlp --dump-json --flat-playlist
--count N flag (default: 20 results)
--months N flag (default: 6, filters to recent videos)
--no-date-filter flag (show all results regardless of date)
Formatted output: title, channel (with subscriber count), views, duration, date, URL

4. Create the slash command

Write ~/.claude/commands/yt-search.md with frontmatter:

---
description: "Search YouTube and return structured video results"
argument-hint: "<query> [--count N]"
allowed-tools:
  - Bash
---

The command runs python3 ~/.claude/scripts/yt-search.py $ARGUMENTS.

5. Verify

python3 ~/.claude/scripts/yt-search.py "test query" --count 3

After setup

The user can search YouTube with:

/yt-search claude code skills
/yt-search AI agents --count 10
/yt-search react tutorials --months 3
/yt-search machine learning --no-date-filter

What it returns

For each video:

Title
Channel name and subscriber count
View count
Duration
Upload date
Direct YouTube link

Changes

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.
