Usage Guidance
This skill appears to be what it says: a wrapper around the yutu CLI for YouTube caption management. Before installing: (1) review the npm package and GitHub repo (@eat-pray-ai/yutu) to ensure you trust the publisher; (2) understand that you must provide OAuth client credentials and will grant YouTube API access — the tool will open a browser and write a local token file (youtube.token.json); keep those files private; (3) prefer installing with a trusted package manager or inspect the package contents before global install; and (4) if you are concerned about autonomous agent invocation, be aware the platform allows skills to be invoked by agents by default — you can restrict or review skill usage in your agent settings.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: youtube-caption
Version: 0.10.7-dev
The skill bundle provides a legitimate interface for managing YouTube captions using the 'yutu' CLI tool. It includes comprehensive documentation for listing, downloading, inserting, and deleting captions, along with a setup guide for Google Cloud Platform OAuth authentication. The code and instructions (SKILL.md and references) are consistent with the stated purpose and show no signs of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
Name/description match the requirements: the skill needs the yutu CLI, OAuth client secret/token files, and env vars for the yutu tool — all of which are appropriate for managing YouTube captions via the YouTube Data API.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md only instructs the agent to use the yutu CLI to list/insert/update/download/delete captions and to run the yutu auth flow to obtain an OAuth token; it does not ask the agent to read unrelated system files or exfiltrate data to unexpected endpoints. The auth flow will open a browser and save a local token (youtube.token.json), which is expected for OAuth.
Install Mechanism
Install spec uses an npm package (@eat-pray-ai/yutu) which matches the GitHub homepage; this is a common, expected mechanism (moderate risk vs. system packages). The setup doc also documents alternative installation methods (brew/winget/go/releases) though only the node install is declared in the install spec — not harmful but a minor documentation/metadata mismatch to be aware of.
Credentials
Requested env vars (YUTU_CREDENTIAL, YUTU_CACHE_TOKEN) and config paths (client_secret.json, youtube.token.json) directly map to OAuth client credentials and cached tokens required to call the YouTube API. The scope and number of credentials are proportionate to the described functionality.
Persistence & Privilege
always:false (no forced presence). The skill does not request elevated system-wide privileges or modification of other skills. It will rely on locally stored OAuth tokens created by the yutu auth flow, which is normal for a CLI tool.

- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
