/install youtube-watcher
功能描述
Fetch and read transcripts from YouTube videos. Use when you need to summarize a video, answer questions about its content, or extract information from it.
安全使用建议
Before installing, make sure you are comfortable with the skill running yt-dlp locally and making network requests for video URLs you ask it to process. Install yt-dlp only from a trusted package source, and treat fetched transcript content as untrusted third-party text rather than instructions for your agent.
功能分析
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: youtube-watcher
Version: 1.0.0
The OpenClaw skill 'youtube-watcher' is designed to fetch and clean YouTube video transcripts using the `yt-dlp` utility. The `SKILL.md` provides clear instructions for the agent, and the `scripts/get_transcript.py` script executes `yt-dlp` with specific arguments to download subtitles into a temporary directory, then cleans and prints the text. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution beyond the intended use of `yt-dlp`, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The behavior is fully aligned with its stated purpose.
能力评估
Purpose & Capability
The stated purpose is fetching YouTube transcripts for summarization, Q&A, and extraction; the script calls yt-dlp to download subtitles, cleans VTT text, and prints the transcript.
Instruction Scope
The runtime examples are user-directed and transcript-focused. Some trigger phrases such as "summarize video" and "analyze video" are broad, but the artifact context consistently frames use around YouTube transcripts.
Install Mechanism
The skill requires the external yt-dlp binary and discloses brew and pip install options. Users should trust the package source they choose.
Credentials
The skill runs a local subprocess and contacts the video source for the user-provided URL, which is proportionate to transcript retrieval. The command is invoked as an argument list, not through shell string interpolation.
Persistence & Privilege
The script uses a temporary directory for subtitle files and contains no background service, credential access, privileged operation, broad local indexing, or persistent storage.
