What it does
Youtube Content is an agent skill from RedWoodOG/Hermes-Desktop. Fetch YouTube video transcripts and transform them into structured content (chapters, summaries, threads, blog posts).
Its SKILL.md is about 640 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/output-formats.md` and `scripts/fetch_transcript.py`).
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Blog and article writing. It works with YouTube.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Blog and article writing
Example prompts
- “/youtube-content”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Fetch the transcript using the helper script
- If the transcript is very long (>50K chars), summarize in chunks
- Transform into the requested output format using your own reasoning
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit be46b39. 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:
python3pip
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 Content loads about 636 tokens when it runs, and up to ~951 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 34 tokens; SKILL.md has 204 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 204 words (~636 tokens).
“Extract transcripts from YouTube videos and convert them into useful formats.”
