It sits in Documents & Office. It works with YouTube and Apify. The repository describes itself as: One agent. Every kind of work. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Documents & Office work in your project

Example prompts

“/summarize”

Requirements

A credential in OPENAI_API_KEY
A credential in ANTHROPIC_API_KEY

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b50970c. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are bash and json).
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:
- youtu.be
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- APIFY_API_TOKEN
- OPENAI_API_KEY
- ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
- XAI_API_KEY
- GEMINI_API_KEY
- GOOGLE_GENERATIVE_AI_API_KEY
- GOOGLE_API_KEY
- FIRECRAWL_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Summarize loads about 356 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 23 tokens; SKILL.md has 80 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~23
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~356

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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
