Description
This skill helps users extract YouTube video transcripts and perform deep competitive analysis on the content. Agent should proactively apply this skill when...
Usage Guidance
This skill appears coherent, but before installing note: (1) it sends video URLs and extraction requests to BrowserAct (api.browseract.com) using your BROWSERACT_API_KEY — only provide that key if you trust BrowserAct and understand their data/retention policies; (2) the included script prints the full transcript to stdout, while the SKILL.md asks the agent not to reprint transcripts to users — ensure the agent is configured to summarize/analyze instead of echoing raw transcripts (copyright/privacy risk); (3) running the skill will make outbound network calls and may consume your BrowserAct plan (rate/ concurrency limits are checked by the script); (4) rotate or revoke the API key if you later decide to remove the skill; (5) test with non-sensitive videos first. Overall the skill is internally consistent and its requirements are proportional to its stated purpose.
Capability Analysis
Type: OpenClaw Skill
Name: youtube-transcript-analysis-api-skill
Version: 1.0.0
The skill is a legitimate tool for extracting and analyzing YouTube transcripts using the BrowserAct API. The Python script (youtube_transcript_analysis_api.py) implements a standard polling mechanism to interact with the external API (api.browseract.com) and handles the API key via environment variables. The instructions in SKILL.md are well-structured, providing a clear 8-dimension analysis framework for the agent to follow, with no evidence of malicious intent, data exfiltration, or prompt injection.
Capability Assessment
Purpose & Capability
The skill's name and description claim transcript extraction using BrowserAct; the included script calls api.browseract.com and requires BROWSERACT_API_KEY, which is proportional and expected for that purpose.
Instruction Scope
SKILL.md instructs the agent to run the included Python script and then perform an 8-dimension analysis on returned transcripts. This matches the script's behavior. One operational note: the Python script prints the full transcript to stdout; SKILL.md instructs the agent not to output the full raw transcript in its user-facing response, so the agent must avoid reprinting the transcript verbatim even though the script emits it.
Install Mechanism
There is no install spec (instruction-only runtime plus a Python script). No downloads from unknown URLs or archive extraction occur; the script uses standard Python and the requests library, which is reasonable for this task.
Credentials
Only BROWSERACT_API_KEY is required (plus Python). That API key directly maps to the BrowserAct service used; no unrelated secrets, config paths, or excessive env vars are requested.
Persistence & Privilege
The skill does not request always:true, does not modify other skills, and has normal autonomous-invocation settings. It has no persistent install actions or system-wide configuration changes.
How to Use
- Make sure OpenClaw is installed (local or Docker)
- Run the install command in chat:
/install youtube-transcript-analysis-api-skill - After installation, invoke the skill by name or use
/youtube-transcript-analysis-api-skill - Provide required inputs per the skill's parameter spec and get structured output
