What it does
Youtube Transcript Skills is an agent skill from sickn33/agentic-awesome-skills. Fetch YouTube video transcripts, search videos/channels, browse channels, and extract playlists via the getyoutubetranscript.com API - free tier, no card required.
Its SKILL.md is about 1.2k 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 Knowledge Management, covering Video and podcast notes. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: AAS Core is the local, agent-first control plane for complete catalog discovery, agent-owned selection, stack validation, and planning, backed by 2,400+ agentic skills. Includes… The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Tasks that involve Video and podcast notes
Example prompts
- “/youtube-transcript-skills”
Requirements
- A credential in YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY
- A credential in API_KEY
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b84d35a. 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
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
curl
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:
getyoutubetranscript.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_API_KEYAPI_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Youtube Transcript Skills loads about 1.2k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 47 tokens; SKILL.md has 508 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.

YouTube Transcript
Overview
Fetches transcripts, search results, and playlist/channel data from YouTube
via the getyoutubetranscript.com REST
API, so an agent can summarize, quote, search, or analyze a video's actual
spoken content without the user copy-pasting it in by hand. No yt-dlp and
no Google API key required.
source_repo: tubeagentkit/youtube-transcript-skillssource_type: community
When to Use This Skill
- Use when the user wants a YouTube video's transcript fetched, summarized, quoted, or analyzed.
- Use when the user wants to search YouTube (globally, or within one channel by handle).
- Use when the user wants a channel handle resolved to a channel ID, or wants a channel's info and upload history.
- Use when the user wants the videos in a YouTube playlist.
How It Works
Step 1: Get an API key
Every call needs an API key: the YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY environment
variable, or one the user has already provided. If neither exists, the skill
can sign the user up for a free account (100 credits, no card required) via a
two-step email + verification-code flow against the API - only after the
user has explicitly given consent and an email address to use.
Step 2: Call the API
Base URL: https://getyoutubetranscript.com/api/v1. Send the key as
Authorization: Bearer <API_KEY> or x-api-key: <API_KEY>.
GET /transcript?v=<VIDEO_ID_OR_URL>&language=en- fetch a transcript.GET /search?q=<query>&type=video|channel- search YouTube.GET /resolve?handle=@name- resolve a channel handle to a channel ID (free).GET /channel/latest?channel=@name- channel info and latest videos (free).GET /channel/videos?channel=@name- a channel's full upload history (paginated).GET /channel/search?channel=@name&q=<query>- search within a channel (paginated).GET /playlist?list=<playlist ID or URL>- playlist videos (paginated).
Step 3: Handle errors and pagination
Every error is JSON with a stable code (e.g. TRANSCRIPT_NOT_FOUND,
PAYMENT_REQUIRED, RATE_LIMITED) and a matching HTTP status - relay the
message field to the user rather than guessing at a fix. Paginated
endpoints return an opaque data.continuation_token; pass it back verbatim
as continuation to get the next page, null means no more pages.

Examples
Example 1: Summarize a video
curl -s "https://getyoutubetranscript.com/api/v1/transcript?v=jNQXAC9IVRw&language=en" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY"Example 2: Browse a channel's uploads
curl -s "https://getyoutubetranscript.com/api/v1/channel/videos?channel=@mkbhd" \
-H "Authorization: Bearer $YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY"Best Practices
- Do reuse an existing
YOUTUBE_TRANSCRIPT_API_KEYbefore offering to create a new account. - Do ask explicit consent before sending an email address anywhere during signup.
- Don't retry a
402 PAYMENT_REQUIREDresponse - direct the user to top up instead. - Don't hammer a
429 RATE_LIMITEDresponse in a retry loop - back off.
Limitations
- The transcript endpoint returns the full spoken text as one string; there is no per-line timestamp breakdown.
- This skill does not replace environment-specific validation, testing, or expert review.
- Stop and ask for clarification if required inputs, permissions, or safety boundaries are missing.
Security & Safety Notes
- This skill only makes outbound HTTPS requests to
getyoutubetranscript.comendpoints, plus - during first-time setup - an email address the user explicitly provides. It runs no other shell commands and installs nothing. - Never persist a newly issued API key to a shell profile or other file without the user's explicit confirmation first.
Common Pitfalls
- Problem: Assuming the transcript response includes timestamps. Solution: Tell the user timestamps aren't available from this endpoint rather than inventing them.
