What it does
Give Claude a YouTube video link or ID. It pulls the available captions, optionally translates them, splits them into chapters, or identifies speakers, and also grabs the video's cover image. You get back a clean text transcript file plus the thumbnail.
Who it’s for
A good fit for people who research markets, competitors or topics and anyone working with Word, PDF, Excel or PowerPoint files.
Do you need to code?
Some. To get the most from this one you may need to be comfortable with code, the command line or technical setup.
How to install
Add it as a skill, or as part of its plugin. This skill also ships inside a plugin, so you can upload just this skill to Claude, or install the whole plugin it comes in. See the step-by-step guide.
Safety note
Runs bundled scripts on your computer; may use an additional external download tool.
Script files included: 7
As with any add-on, only install skills from sources you trust, and read what it does first.
