What it does
Youtube Transcript is an agent skill from sundial-org/awesome-openclaw-skills. Fetch and summarize YouTube video transcripts. Use when asked to summarize, transcribe, or extract content from YouTube videos. Handles transcript fetching via residential IP proxy to bypass YouTube's cloud IP blocks.
Its SKILL.md is about 340 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/SETUP.md` and `scripts/fetch_transcript.py`).
It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Video and podcast notes and Transcription. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Top OpenClaw skills, with the most popular and useful ones.
When your agent uses it
- Asked to summarize
- Extract content from YouTube videos
Example prompts
- “/youtube-transcript”
Requirements
- Python 3
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Run fetch_transcript.py with video ID or URL
- Script checks VPN, brings it up if needed
- Returns JSON with full transcript text
- Summarize the full_text field as needed
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit b80cde2. 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
Hosts in commands or code, which the agent is likely to contact:
youtube.com
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 Transcript loads about 338 tokens when it runs, and up to ~983 if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 59 tokens; SKILL.md has 97 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 97 words (~338 tokens).
“Fetch transcripts from YouTube videos and optionally summarize them.”
