Overview
A set of 12 Agent Skills (youtube-full plus narrower variants like transcript, youtube-search, youtube-channels and youtube-playlist) that let coding and general agents call TranscriptAPI for YouTube data. It avoids yt-dlp and headless browsers by using a hosted REST API with a TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY. Installs through npx skills, clawhub or the Hermes CLI.
Who it is for: Agent users who want YouTube transcripts and search in Claude Code or Cursor
Strengths
- Modular: install one focused skill or all 12 to keep agent context small
- Installs on Claude Code, Cursor, Cline, Codex, OpenClaw and Hermes Agent
- No yt-dlp, headless browser or Google Cloud project needed
- Agent can register and store the API key itself on first run
Weaknesses
- Depends on the hosted TranscriptAPI service; skills do nothing without its API key
- Free tier is 100 credits; beyond that costs $5/month for 1,000 credits
- Many of the 12 skills are aliases of the core five
- No tagged releases; the data backend is closed and not self-hostable
What it needs
- no GPU
- Needs TranscriptAPI account and TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY, Node.js (npx) for installation
