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 | $0.00035 | $0.01218 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00017 | $0.00609 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00007 | $0.00244 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00003 | $0.00122 |
Grade A, and why
youtube-to-markdown 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 5d 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.

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 177 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
YouTube to Markdown (No-Polish Variant)
Test variant: Removes transcript polish steps (4, 7, 8). Keeps separate summary steps (5, 6) and comment steps (10a, 10b).
Execute all steps sequentially without asking for user approval.
Step 0: Check extracted before
python3 ./check_existing.py "<YOUTUBE_URL>" "<output_directory>"
If returns exists: true: Skip to Step 10 (comments).
Step 1: Extract data (metadata, description, chapters)
python3 extract_data.py "<YOUTUBE_URL>" "<output_directory>"
Creates: youtube_{VIDEO_ID}metadata.md, youtube{VIDEO_ID}description.md, youtube{VIDEO_ID}_chapters.json
Step 2: Extract transcript
If video language is en, proceed directly. If non-English, ask user which language.
python3 extract_transcript.py "<YOUTUBE_URL>" "<output_directory>" "<LANG_CODE>"
Creates: youtube_{VIDEO_ID}_transcript.vtt
Fallback (only if transcript unavailable)
Ask user: "No transcript available. Proceed with Whisper transcription?"
python3 extract_transcript_whisper.py "<YOUTUBE_URL>" "<output_directory>"
Step 3: Deduplicate transcript
Set BASE_NAME from Step 1 output (youtube_{VIDEO_ID})
python3 ./deduplicate_vtt.py "<output_directory>/${BASE_NAME}_transcript.vtt" "<output_directory>/${BASE_NAME}_transcript_dedup.md" "<output_directory>/${BASE_NAME}_transcript_no_timestamps.txt"
Copy dedup as final transcript (no polish steps):
cp "<output_directory>/${BASE_NAME}_transcript_dedup.md" "<output_directory>/${BASE_NAME}_transcript.md"
Step 5: Summarize transcript
task_tool:
- subagent_type: "general-purpose"
- model: "sonnet"
- prompt:
INPUT: <output_directory>/${BASE_NAME}_transcript_no_timestamps.txt
OUTPUT: <output_directory>/${BASE_NAME}_summary.md
FORMATS: ./summary_formats.md
1. Classify content type:
- TIPS: gear reviews, rankings, "X ways to...", practical advice lists
- INTERVIEW: podcasts, conversations, Q&A, multiple perspectives
- EDUCATIONAL: concept explanations, analysis, "how X works"
- TUTORIAL: step-by-step instructions, coding, recipes
2. Analyze content structure:
- Identify meaningful content units (topic shifts, argument structure, narrative breaks)
- If single continuous topic, omit content unit headers
- Skip ads, sponsors, self-promotion
3. Read FORMATS file and use format for detected content type. Target <10% of transcript bytes.
ACTION REQUIRED: Use the Write tool NOW to save output to OUTPUT file.
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-to-markdown is a skill published in the GitHub repository vre/flow-state (12 stars, last pushed 2mo ago), licensed MIT. It adds 35 tokens to every session and 1,218 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
