What it does

Youtube Summarizer is an agent skill from aiskillstore/marketplace. Extract transcripts from YouTube videos and generate comprehensive, detailed summaries using intelligent analysis frameworks

Its SKILL.md is about 3.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `CHANGELOG.md`, `README.md` and `scripts/extract-transcript.py`).

It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Security-audited skills for Claude, Codex & Claude Code. One-click install, quality verified.

Example prompts

  • “/youtube-summarizer”

Requirements

  • Python 3
  • A Bash shell

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 44923f3. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3
    • pip

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:

    • youtube.com
    • youtu.be
    • m.youtube.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Youtube Summarizer loads about 3.1k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 36 tokens; SKILL.md has 639 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~36
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.1k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 639 words (~3,092 tokens).
