Description
Food for your model — extract transcripts, key frames, OCR, slides, and LLM summaries from YouTube videos into structured AI-ready knowledge.
Usage Guidance
This skill appears to do what it says (extracts transcripts, frames, OCR, and summaries), but it relies on cloning and running a GitHub repo via docker-compose which will download and execute code and create persistent services. Before installing: 1) Inspect the repository and docker-compose.yml (images used, volume mounts, environment variables, network settings). 2) Confirm Docker images come from trusted registries and do not mount sensitive host paths. 3) Check where the service stores the Fernet key and any API keys; avoid supplying high-privilege credentials until you review storage/encryption. 4) Run initially in an isolated environment (VM or dedicated host) and restrict network access (firewall) to avoid unintended exposure. 5) Prefer using local-only providers (Ollama) if you want to avoid sending data/keys to external LLM services. If you cannot inspect the repo or are uncomfortable with these risks, do not run docker-compose for this project.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: youtube-model-feeder Version: 1.0.1 The skill bundle is classified as suspicious primarily because the `SKILL.md` file contains an explicit instruction to bypass VirusTotal security warnings using a `--force` flag, which is a common social engineering tactic used to evade security controls. While the stated purpose of extracting YouTube data is plausible, the documentation describes a complex architecture that handles sensitive LLM API keys and relies on external code hosted at `github.com/celstnblacc/youtube-model-feeder`, which is not included in the bundle for review. Furthermore, the `_meta.json` file contains a future-dated publication timestamp (March 2026) and version inconsistencies that are anomalous.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The declared functionality (download video, extract frames, OCR, transcript, slide detection, and LLM summaries) aligns with the tools and binaries mentioned (yt-dlp, ffmpeg, Tesseract, Whisper/Ollama, LLM providers). Required bins (docker, ffmpeg) are reasonable for this task.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md gives explicit runtime instructions (git clone, docker-compose up, use local FastAPI, submit jobs via API). It does not instruct reading unrelated host files or exfiltrating secrets, but it does expect the user/agent to run and interact with a local service that will process videos and persist data. The document references storing provider API keys (OpenAI/Anthropic) via the service API — this implies the service will accept and store secrets.
Install Mechanism
No formal install spec is bundled; instead the guide instructs cloning a GitHub repo and running docker-compose. That will download and execute code from a remote repository and start multiple persistent containers (api, db, redis, etc.). Running docker-compose on an unreviewed repo is a moderate-to-high risk action because it executes remote code and may pull arbitrary images or mount host resources.
Credentials
The skill itself declares no required env vars, which is consistent because it supports a local Ollama default. It documents optional use of OPENAI_API_KEY and ANTHROPIC_API_KEY for summarization providers — these are reasonable for the stated features. However, the service claims to encrypt API keys at rest (Fernet) without explaining where the encryption key is stored or protected, which merits review before supplying credentials.
Persistence & Privilege
The instructions create persistent services (Postgres, Redis, API server) and expose ports (8000, 3000). Although the skill package itself does not force persistent inclusion in the agent, following the install steps results in long-running components that may store processed data and user API keys. Users should verify network exposure and storage locations in the docker-compose and repo before installing.
How to Use
  1. Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
  2. Run the install command in chat: /install youtube-model-feeder
  3. After installation, invoke the skill by name or use /youtube-model-feeder
  4. Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
