What it does

Youtube Description is an agent skill from pamelafox/presentation-skills. Generate a YouTube description with a brief intro, relevant links, and clickable timestamps for each question.

Its SKILL.md is about 380 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Documents & Office. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Skills for AI agents to process presentations - helpful for teachers and speakers. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Documents & Office work in your project

Example prompts

  • “/youtube-description”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. A brief intro line
  2. A link to any relevant materials for the video
  3. Timestamps for each question (YouTube auto-links timestamps that appear at the start of a line in MM:SS or H:MM:SS format)

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 2b809b3. 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.

    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:

    • aka.ms

    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 Description loads about 378 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 33 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
~33
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~378

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.

Generating the YouTube description

When asked to generate a YouTube description, create a youtube_description.md with:
