What it does
Youtube Transcribe Skill is an agent skill from feiskyer/codex-settings. Extract subtitles or a transcript from a YouTube URL and save normalized timestamped text locally. Use when the user wants the spoken content of a YouTube video as text.
Its SKILL.md is about 750 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `scripts/transcribe_youtube.py` and `tests/test_transcribe_youtube.py`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Curated skills, profiles, and config templates that supercharge Codex CLI — multi-model, deep research, image gen & browser automation. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- The user wants the spoken content of a YouTube video as text
- Tasks that involve Transcription
Example prompts
- “/youtube-transcribe-skill”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Install yt-dlp and confirm yt-dlp --version succeeds.
- Resolve the absolute directory containing this SKILL.md; refer to it as .
- Keep the output in the user's current working directory unless they request another location.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit d7f6570. 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:
python3yt-dlp
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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 Transcribe Skill loads about 745 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 49 tokens; SKILL.md has 329 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.

- description
- Extract subtitles or a transcript from a YouTube URL and save normalized timestamped text locally. Use when the user wants the spoken content of a YouTube video as text.
YouTube Transcript Extraction
Use the bundled scripts/transcribe_youtube.py wrapper for the primary workflow. It downloads subtitles with yt-dlp, selects the preferred language, converts WebVTT cues into timestamped plain text, and reports the output path and line count.
Requirements
- Install
yt-dlpand confirmyt-dlp --versionsucceeds. - Resolve the absolute directory containing this
SKILL.md; refer to it as<skill-dir>. - Keep the output in the user's current working directory unless they request another location.
The Python wrapper itself uses only the standard library. It can display --help without yt-dlp being installed.
Primary workflow
Run without browser cookies first:
python3 "<skill-dir>/scripts/transcribe_youtube.py" \
"<youtube-url>" \
--output-dir "$PWD"The default language preference is Simplified Chinese, Traditional Chinese, other Chinese variants, then English. Override it when the user requests another language:
python3 "<skill-dir>/scripts/transcribe_youtube.py" \
"<youtube-url>" \
--languages "ja.*,en.*" \
--output-dir "$PWD"The wrapper supports normal watch URLs plus youtu.be, Shorts, live, and embed URLs. A successful run writes one .txt file whose non-empty lines use this shape:
00:03 Subtitle text
00:08 Next subtitle textCookie retry
Do not read browser cookies by default. If the initial command fails specifically because the video requires sign-in, age verification, membership, or another authenticated session:
- Explain that the retry will let
yt-dlpread YouTube cookies from a local browser profile. - Ask the user which browser profile they approve using.
- Retry only after approval:
python3 "<skill-dir>/scripts/transcribe_youtube.py" \
"<youtube-url>" \
--cookies-from-browser chrome \
--output-dir "$PWD"Never print, copy, or persist browser cookies in the transcript or logs.
Browser fallback
Use browser automation only when yt-dlp is unavailable or cannot obtain subtitles and an appropriate browser-control capability is available.
- Inspect the tools available in the current session; do not assume fixed MCP server or tool names.
- Open the video, reveal the transcript panel, and extract visible timestamp/text pairs.
- Save the result as
<sanitized-video-title>.txtin the requested directory. - Close pages or sessions opened solely for this task.
If neither CLI extraction nor browser automation is available, report the missing capability instead of claiming success.
Completion report
Return:
- Absolute transcript path
- Selected subtitle language
- Number of transcript lines
- Whether browser cookies or browser automation were used
