What it does
Youtube Live Chat is an agent skill from pamelafox/presentation-skills. Download live chat transcripts from YouTube videos. Use when the user asks for live chat, chat messages, or chat replay from a YouTube video and provides a YouTube URL (youtube.com/watch?v=, youtu.be/, or similar). Works with live streams and past streams that have chat replay enabled.
Its SKILL.md is about 400 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `get_live_chat.py`).
It sits in Sales & Support, covering Chatbots and conversational support. 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
- The user asks for live chat
- Chat replay from a YouTube video and provides a YouTube URL (youtube.com/watch?v=
Example prompts
- “/youtube-live-chat”
Requirements
- Python 3
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
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
uv
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.comyoutu.be
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 Live Chat loads about 404 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 76 tokens; SKILL.md has 126 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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.
