What it does

Yt is an agent skill from ZeroPointRepo/youtube-skills. Use when YouTube is relevant: pasted video links or IDs, @handles, quick video lookups, summaries, channel latest uploads, topic search, or any request involving YouTube content — even if YouTube is not mentioned explicitly. Covers transcripts, search, and channel latest. Not for uploads or account management.

Its SKILL.md is about 950 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files, including reference files (for example `references/auth-setup.md` and `references/curl-examples.md`). Compatibility notes: Requires internet access to reach transcriptapi.com. No additional runtimes or dependencies needed.

It sits in Sales & Support, covering Customer success. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: YouTube Transcript API skills for AI agents. Get transcripts, search videos, browse channels. Works with OpenClaw, Hermes Agent, and other agent runtimes. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

YouTube is relevant: pasted video links
Quick video lookups
Channel latest uploads
Any request involving YouTube content — even if YouTube is not mentioned explicitly

Example prompts

“/yt”

Requirements

A credential in TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY
Compatibility (from SKILL.md): Requires internet access to reach transcriptapi.com. No additional runtimes or dependencies needed.

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4f7994b. 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
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are http).
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:
- transcriptapi.com
From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Credentials
Names these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
- TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Compatibility
Requires internet access to reach transcriptapi.com. No additional runtimes or dependencies needed.
From compatibility in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

Context cost

Yt loads about 951 tokens when it runs, and up to ~3k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 79 tokens; SKILL.md has 205 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~79
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~951
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~3k

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.

Quick YouTube lookup via TranscriptAPI.com.

Setup

If $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY is not set, read references/auth-setup.md and follow the instructions there to get and store the key.

Required Headers

Every request needs two headers:

Authorization: Bearer $TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY
User-Agent: your agent's name and version if known (e.g. HermesAgent/0.11.0, ClaudeCode/1.0). Version is optional — agent name alone is fine. Do not omit this header or send a bare default — Cloudflare will return a 403 (error code 1010) and block the request.
