What it does

Example prompts

Requirements

A Bash shell
A credential in BIBI_API_TOKEN

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 93a4094. 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/ (Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- brew
- jq
- winget
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):
- bibigpt.co
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- BIBI_API_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Bibi loads about 885 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 82 tokens; SKILL.md has 243 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~82
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~885

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

The full file from JimmyLv/BibiGPT-v1 at commit 93a4094, republished under its GPL-3.0 licence (© JimmyLv). 243 words, ~885 tokens.

description: BibiGPT CLI for summarizing videos, audio, and podcasts directly in the terminal. Use when the user wants to summarize a URL (YouTube, Bilibili, podcast, etc.) or check their BibiGPT authentication status. Requires the BibiGPT desktop app installed with an active login session, or a BIBI_API_TOKEN environment variable set.

BibiGPT CLI (`bibi`)

Summarize videos, audio, and podcasts from the terminal using the BibiGPT API.

Installation

macOS (Homebrew)

bash

brew install --cask jimmylv/bibigpt/bibigpt

Windows

Download the installer from: https://bibigpt.co/download/desktop

winget install BibiGPT is pending review and not yet available.

Verify installation

bash

bibi --version

Authentication

After installing, the user must log in via the desktop app at least once. The CLI reads the saved session automatically from the desktop app's settings.

Alternatively, set an API token:

bash

export BIBI_API_TOKEN=<token>

On Windows (PowerShell):

powershell

$env:BIBI_API_TOKEN="<token>"

Commands

Summarize a URL

Important: URLs containing ? or & must be quoted to avoid shell glob errors.

bash

# Basic summary (Markdown output to stdout)
bibi summarize "<URL>"

# Async mode — recommended for long videos (>30min)
bibi summarize "<URL>" --async

# Chapter-by-chapter summary
bibi summarize "<URL>" --chapter

# Fetch subtitles/transcript only (no AI summary)
bibi summarize "<URL>" --subtitle

# Full JSON response
bibi summarize "<URL>" --json

# Combine flags
bibi summarize "<URL>" --subtitle --json

Supported URL types: YouTube, Bilibili, podcasts, audio files, and any URL supported by BibiGPT.

Authentication

bash

# Check current auth status
bibi auth check

# Open browser to log in
bibi auth login

# Show how to set API token
bibi auth set-token <TOKEN>

Updates

bash

# Check if a new version is available
bibi check-update

# Download and install the latest version
bibi self-update

Output Format

Default: Markdown summary text sent to stdout. Progress info goes to stderr.
--json: Complete API response as pretty-printed JSON to stdout.

This means you can pipe the output:

bash

bibi summarize "<URL>" > summary.md
bibi summarize "<URL>" --json | jq '.summary'

Error Handling

Exit Code	Meaning
0	Success
1	Error (auth missing, API error, timeout, etc.)

HTTP Status	User Action
401	Token expired — run `bibi auth login` or re-login in desktop app
402/403	Quota exceeded — visit https://bibigpt.co/pricing
429	Rate limited — wait and retry

Usage Tips

For very long videos, use --async to avoid HTTP timeout.
Use --subtitle to get raw subtitles/transcript without AI summarization.
Use --json when you need structured data (e.g., sourceUrl, htmlUrl, detail).
The --chapter flag provides section-by-section summaries, useful for lectures or tutorials.
The CLI does NOT open any GUI window — all output goes to the terminal.
Run bibi check-update periodically to get new features and bug fixes.
