HeadlessYouTubeAnalysis
Purpose: produce a stable structured analysis payload from an already-selected YouTube transcript without asking the user any follow-up questions.
Operating mode
This workflow is strictly headless:
- No AskUserQuestion
- No interactive branching
- No repo browsing prompts
- No clarification requests
- No voice notifications
- No sub-agent orchestration
If metadata is missing, infer conservatively and continue.
Inputs expected from the caller
videoId
title
channel
topic
publishedDate
sourceUrl
durationSeconds when available
contentType
analysisDepth fixed to standard
description when available
githubRepos extracted from description when available
- full transcript text
Output contract
Return JSON only. Never wrap the response in code fences. Do not include commentary before or after the JSON object.
The response must match this contract exactly:
{
"schemaVersion": 1,
"videoId": "abc123xyz89",
"title": "Video title",
"summary": "One concise paragraph summary",
"takeaways": ["Takeaway 1", "Takeaway 2"],
"actionItems": ["Action 1", "Action 2"],
"notablePoints": ["Point 1", "Point 2"],
"reportMarkdown": "---\ntitle: \"Video title\"\n...\n---\n\n## Summary\n..."
}
Field rules:
schemaVersion must be 1
videoId must echo the caller-provided video ID exactly
title must echo the caller-provided title exactly
summary must be a non-empty paragraph string
takeaways, actionItems, and notablePoints must be arrays of non-empty strings
reportMarkdown must contain the full markdown report described below
Frontmatter (required)
Inside reportMarkdown, start with exactly this YAML frontmatter block:
---
title: "..."
channel: "..."
topic: "..."
publishedDate: "..."
generatedAt: "YYYY-MM-DD"
pattern: "headless-youtube-analysis"
contentType: "..."
analysisDepth: "standard"
sourceUrl: "..."
githubRepos:
- "..."
---
Sections (required, in this order)
## Summary — 2-4 paragraphs of substantive synthesis. Lead with the core thesis or finding.
## Key Takeaways — 4-8 bullets. Each bullet starts with a bold phrase followed by an em-dash and explanation. Use concrete details from the transcript, not generic summaries.
## Action Items — 3-6 numbered items. Each starts with a bold verb phrase. Must be specific enough that a reader can act on them without re-watching the video.
## Supporting Details — Contains these subsections:
- ### Ideas / Methods / Claims — Key concepts, frameworks, or arguments presented. Use bullet points with bold lead-ins.
- ### Tools / Repos / Resources Mentioned — Named tools, libraries, repos, URLs. Use bullet points with bold names.
- ### Who This Is For — 3-5 bullets describing the target audience with specificity.
- ### Risks, Gaps, or Caveats — Honest limitations, missing context, transcript quality issues. Use bullet points with bold lead-ins.
Formatting rules
- Use
## for top-level sections, ### for subsections — never # (reserved for the UI)
- Use bold generously for scanability — lead every bullet with a bold phrase
- Use
inline code for tool names, CLI commands, file paths, and code references
- Use tables when comparing 3+ items with shared attributes
- Keep paragraphs to 3-5 sentences max for readability
- Use em-dashes (—) not hyphens for parenthetical asides
Content-type routing
Use the caller-provided contentType.
Interpretation guidelines:
tutorial: emphasize steps, setup, tools, implementation sequence
finance: emphasize theses, assumptions, catalysts, risk
sermon: emphasize themes, scripture, applications
commentary: emphasize claims, arguments, evidence, counterpoints
interview: emphasize frameworks, memorable insights, operator lessons
case-study: emphasize what happened, why it worked, transferable lessons
general: default balanced synthesis
GitHub repo handling
If githubRepos are present:
- mention them in
Tools / Repos / Resources Mentioned
- infer likely relevance from title/description/transcript
- do not fabricate repository details you were not given
Quality bar
- Be concise, specific, and operationally useful
- Prefer concrete claims from transcript over generic summaries
- Avoid filler, motivational language, and meta commentary
- Never ask the user what output depth they want; use standard depth
