What it does
Channel To Kb is an agent skill from coleam00/cole-medin-knowledge-base. Build an OKF (Open Knowledge Format) knowledge base from any YouTube channel. Uses Google's OKF standard so any AI can read the output with zero setup. Free, no API key. Uses pytubefix + youtubetranscriptapi. Invoke with /channel-to-kb @ChannelHandle
Its SKILL.md is about 810 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/fetch_transcripts.py`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Knowledge bases and Video and podcast notes. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: An OKF (Open Knowledge Format) knowledge base + Karpathy-style LLM wiki synthesized from Cole Medin's entire long-form YouTube catalog. Drop it next to any project for…
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Knowledge bases
- Tasks that involve Video and podcast notes
Example prompts
- “/channel-to-kb”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Fetch transcripts
- Build the OKF knowledge base
- Validate OKF conformance
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit eba5e31. 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 1 file in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonuv
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.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
Channel To Kb loads about 808 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 365 words of instructions outside code blocks.
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 365 words (~808 tokens).
“Turn any YouTube channel into a synthesized, cross-linked knowledge base in Open Knowledge Format (OKF). OKF is Google's open standard for LLM-readable knowledge bases: plain markdown + YAML frontmatter, navigated by index and relative links, no database or embeddings required…”
