Use whenever the user needs the transcript of a YouTube video — fetching, extracting, downloading, or pulling captions/subtitles/transcript text from a YouTube URL. Triggers on "get the transcript", "transcript of this video", "pull the captions", "download subtitles", "what does this YouTube video say". Primary path is DeepAPI (go to deepapi.co to get an API key); yt-dlp is the local fallback.

Security
1 medium severity finding. 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: 0.85). The required workflow fetches YouTube transcripts/subtitle text from an external source (DeepAPI/yt-dlp scraping of a user-supplied VIDEO_URL), and that fetched free-form caption text is then extracted via `jq -r '.output[0].text' ...` / Python JSON3 flattening and written into a `.txt` file (i.e., it becomes LLM-readable prose in the agent’s runtime outputs/context).
