Extracts subtitles or a full transcript from YouTube, Xiaoyuzhou, Bilibili, Douyin and Xiaohongshu links, using speech recognition when a video has no subtitles.
- Works in 3 steps: 从用户消息中提取 URL；支持 YouTube、小宇宙单集、B站、抖音和小红书视频。 → 首次使用或环境异常时运行体检 → 立即提取字幕，不先询问是否下载
- Extracting subtitles from a YouTube, Bilibili, Douyin or Xiaohongshu video link
- SKILL.md covers 定位 Skill, 工作流, 输出 and 语言与校对, plus 1 more section
- Runs Python and Shell scripts from its folder; calls bash; needs GROQ_API_KEY
What it does
Give the agent a link from one of the five supported platforms and it runs a bundled script that first tries to fetch subtitles the platform already has. If there are none, the script pulls the audio and tries speech recognition in a fixed order: Groq, then a local Whisper install, then agent-reach. A doctor command checks the setup on first use or when the environment looks wrong.
Output goes to a video-transcripts folder by default. You get a readable Markdown transcript with source, language and timestamps, plus an SRT subtitle file when the timing is reliable. The agent reports the file path, the platform and whether platform subtitles or speech recognition produced the text, then asks if you also want the original video; for Xiaoyuzhou podcasts it downloads the audio instead. Nothing is downloaded until you say yes.
English-only subtitles can be translated into Chinese on request, keeping timestamps and facts, and doubtful proper-noun fixes are listed rather than applied silently. Platforms that need a login are handled by asking you to sign in through your own browser first. Xiaoyuzhou links must point to a single episode, and DRM, paid or restricted content is out of scope, with no attempt to bypass captchas or permission checks.
When your agent uses it
- Extracting subtitles from a YouTube, Bilibili, Douyin or Xiaohongshu video link
- Turning a Xiaoyuzhou podcast episode link into a written transcript
- Getting a Markdown or SRT file of what is said in a video that has no subtitles
- Saving the original video or audio after the transcript is done
Example prompts
- “Get the transcript of this YouTube video and save it in the video-transcripts folder.”
- “Extract the subtitles from this Bilibili link and give me an SRT file.”
- “Pull the English subtitles from this conference talk and make a Chinese version with the timestamps kept.”
- “Transcribe this Xiaoyuzhou episode, then download the audio too.”
Requirements
- A link to a supported video or podcast page
- Bash to run the bundled scripts/run.sh
- For videos without subtitles: a GROQ_API_KEY, openai-whisper, or agent-reach transcribe
- A signed-in Chrome session for platforms that require login (optional)
Workflow steps
3 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- 从用户消息中提取 URL；支持 YouTube、小宇宙单集、B站、抖音和小红书视频。
- 首次使用或环境异常时运行体检
- 立即提取字幕，不先询问是否下载
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit edf46c5. 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 5 files in scripts/ (Python and Shell), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
bash
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
GROQ_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Video Link Transcript Extractor loads about 498 tokens when it runs, and up to ~836 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 46 tokens; SKILL.md has 73 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 73 words (~498 tokens).
