What it does

Kb Yt Channel is an agent skill from pedronauck/skills. Create and maintain Karpathy KB topics from YouTube channels through scaffolding, bulk transcript ingestion, validation, and indexing. Excludes single videos, general summaries, and other sources.

Its SKILL.md is about 730 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 7 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `assets/report-template.md`, `references/channel-topic-contract.md` and `references/troubleshooting.md`).

It sits in Development, covering Project scaffolding. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: My personal favorite skills.

When your agent uses it

  • Tasks that involve Project scaffolding

  • “/kb-yt-channel”

Requirements

Workflow steps

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

  1. Resolve the vault, channel/playlist URL, topic slug/title/domain, video selection (--limit N or --all), and transcript policy (captions…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 0422940. 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/ (Python), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python3

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    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

Kb Yt Channel loads about 730 tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.2k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 53 tokens; SKILL.md has 344 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~53
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~730
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~2.2k

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 344 words (~730 tokens).

“Use the native kb ingest channel for channel resolution, transcripts, dedup/resume, retries, and pacing. The bundled scripts/ingest-channel.py adds topic organization under yt-channels/, metadata, indexes, validation, and a run report.”
