Fetch transcripts and create structured watching guides / summaries for YouTube videos. Use when the user asks to (1) get, fetch, extract, or download a transcript or captions from a YouTube video URL, or (2) summarize, create a watching guide, or produce a structured summary of a YouTube video. Trigger on youtube.com/watch, youtu.be, or youtube.com/shorts links.

Security
2 findings — 2 medium severity. This skill can be installed but you should review these findings before use.
The skill exposes the agent to untrusted, user-generated content from public third-party sources, creating a risk of indirect prompt injection. This includes browsing arbitrary URLs, reading social media posts or forum comments, and analyzing content from unknown websites.
Third-party content exposure detected (high risk: 0.95). The required runtime path fetches YouTube transcripts/auto-subs from a user-supplied `<youtube-url>` (public web content) via `defuddle parse ... --markdown` or `yt-dlp --write-auto-subs`, and that readable transcript Markdown/VTT text is then ingested into the agent’s LLM for analysis and guide generation.
The skill fetches instructions or code from an external URL at runtime, and the fetched content directly controls the agent’s prompts or executes code. This dynamic dependency allows the external source to modify the agent’s behavior without any changes to the skill itself.
Potentially malicious external URL detected (high risk: 0.70). The skill's recommended runtime command "npx defuddle parse <youtube-url> --markdown" causes npm to fetch and execute the remote "defuddle" package from the npm registry (e.g. https://registry.npmjs.org/defuddle) at runtime, which executes remote code and is required by the workflow.
