What it does
Youtube Downloader is an agent skill from guia-matthieu/clawfu-skills. Download and process YouTube content for research. Use when: downloading competitor videos for analysis; extracting audio for podcasts; getting transcripts for content repurposing; archiving webinars; research content curation
Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/main.py`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Podcasting and Content repurposing. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: 172 expert marketing skills for AI agents — ClawFu MCP Server. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- : downloading competitor videos for analysis
- Extracting audio for podcasts
- Getting transcripts for content repurposing
- Archiving webinars
Example prompts
- “/youtube-downloader”
Requirements
- Python 3
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4108f5c. 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), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
pythonpip
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
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 Downloader loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 61 tokens; SKILL.md has 286 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.
