What it does
Video Downloader is an agent skill from kangarooking/kangarooking-skills. Download or open videos and recover platform captions, audio transcripts, keyframes, screen text, visual facts, and editing observations as a plain multimodaltranscript.md. Use for Douyin, Bilibili, YouTube, Xiaohongshu, experimental WeChat Channels links, or local video files when preparing complete source material for analysis or downstream Skill distillation.
Its SKILL.md is about 8.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 31 other files, including scripts (for example `THIRD_PARTY_NOTICES.md`, `scripts/artifact_metadata.py` and `scripts/asr.py`).
It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production, Transcription and Messaging and chat bots. It works with Bilibili, WeChat, Xiaohongshu and YouTube. The repository describes itself as: My custom AI Agent skills.
When your agent uses it
- Experimental WeChat Channels links
- Local video files when preparing complete source material for analysis
- Downstream Skill distillation
Example prompts
- “/video-downloader”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in SILICONFLOW_API_KEY
- A credential in ARK_API_KEY
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
- Keyframes
- Complete video
- Agent clips (recommended)
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 08bbee0. 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 17 files in scripts/ (Python, from the files we listed), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3brewcurl
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:
ark.cn-beijing.volces.comweixin.qq.comyoutube.comv.douyin.com
Also links to:
volcengine.comvolcengine.github.iogithub.comsiliconflow.cndocs.siliconflow.cn
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
ARK_API_KEYSILICONFLOW_API_KEYWX_CHANNELS_API_TOKEN
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Video Downloader loads about 8.3k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 96 tokens; SKILL.md has 3,761 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 3,761 words (~8,290 tokens).
