Usage Guidance
Review this skill before installing because it can automatically run pip install yt-dlp if the dependency is missing. If you use it, prefer installing a pinned yt-dlp version yourself in a virtual environment and choose download output paths deliberately.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is downloading videos, extracting audio, listing formats, and showing metadata; the included script implements those same functions.
Instruction Scope
The SKILL.md contains ordinary user-directed command examples and does not include goal overrides, hidden instructions, or autonomous high-impact workflows.
Install Mechanism
The registry says there is no install spec and no required binaries, but the script checks for yt-dlp and automatically runs pip install yt-dlp at runtime without pinning a version or asking for confirmation.
Credentials
The script invokes the external yt-dlp command and writes downloaded media to local paths. This is proportionate for a video downloader, but users should choose output paths carefully.
Persistence & Privilege
No credentials, background service, privileged persistence, or ongoing agent behavior is shown; persistence is limited to user-requested downloaded files.
How to Use
