What it does

Youtube Videos is an agent skill from rubyevents/rubyevents. Use when the user provides a YouTube playlist link/ID or YouTube video links/IDs and wants those recordings added to an event videos.yml file.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.8k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with YouTube and Ruby. The repository describes itself as: On a mission to index all Ruby events.

When your agent uses it

  • The user provides a YouTube playlist link/ID
  • YouTube video links/IDs and wants those recordings added to an event videos.yml file

Example prompts

  • “/youtube-videos”

Requirements

  • Pre-approved tools (allowed-tools): event_talks, event_lookup, youtube_videos, speaker_lookup

Workflow steps

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

  1. the user wants a whole playlist imported for one event
  2. the playlist is the canonical event playlist
  3. replacing or regenerating videos.yml is acceptable

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 5df5305. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves these tools, so the agent can use them without asking each time:

    • event_talks
    • event_lookup
    • youtube_videos
    • speaker_lookup

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • rails

    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

Youtube Videos loads about 1.8k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 39 tokens; SKILL.md has 900 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~39
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.8k

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.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 900 words (~1,812 tokens).
