What it does

Video Transcripts is an agent skill from udecode/plate. Generate structured video transcripts from local files or video URLs using Gemini Files API. Use when a GitHub or Linear tracker item, comment, or attachment includes a screen recording, .mov, .mp4, or tracker-hosted video and you need a <video-transcripts block instead of hand-written notes.

Its SKILL.md is about 1.5k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 2 other files, including scripts (for example `scripts/generate_video_transcript.sh`).

It sits in Knowledge Management, covering Video and podcast notes. It works with GitHub. The repository describes itself as: Rich-text editor with AI and shadcn/ui.

When your agent uses it

  • Linear tracker item
  • Attachment includes a screen recording
  • Tracker-hosted video and you need a <video-transcripts block instead of hand-written notes

Example prompts

  • “/video-transcripts”

Requirements

  • A Bash shell
  • A credential in GITHUB_TOKEN
  • A credential in GEMINI_API_KEY

Workflow steps

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

  1. Run the helper once for each relevant video.
  2. Give each run a short, bug-focused --title.
  3. For tracked work, the canonical shared cache should live in the tracker next to the evidence it describes.
  4. If the video is in the issue or PR body, use a top-level tracker comment.
  5. If the video is in a Linear comment, post the transcript cache as a reply to that specific comment.
  6. If the video is in a GitHub issue or PR comment, use one dedicated top-level cache comment for that source comment's video set. GitHub has…
  7. Cache comment or reply body should start with a transcript source link, then
  8. When caching helper XML, strip the and
  9. If there are multiple videos in the same source container, repeat the
  10. Do not hand-write or paraphrase video behavior when the helper can run. Use the actual transcript output.
  11. Link [Transcript] to the video URL when available. If the video URL is not available or is unstable, link to the source comment that…
  12. For signed tracker-hosted URLs like uploads.linear.app, strip the query string so a new signature does not invalidate an otherwise valid…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a860762. 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/ (Shell), which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • bash
    • gh
    • codex

    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:

    • uploads.linear.app
    • github.com

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:

    • GITHUB_TOKEN
    • GH_TOKEN
    • GEMINI_API_KEY
    • GOOGLE_API_KEY

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Video Transcripts loads about 1.5k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 78 tokens; SKILL.md has 670 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~78
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~1.5k

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

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 670 words (~1,465 tokens).
