YouTube Insights

Extract transcripts and deliver structured insight summaries from YouTube videos.

When to Use

User shares a YouTube URL and wants insights, summary, or transcript
User says "get me the insight of this video", "resume cette video", "what's in this video"
User shares multiple YouTube URLs to analyze
Any request involving YouTube video content extraction

Prerequisites

yt-dlp must be installed and in PATH (check with where yt-dlp or which yt-dlp)
Python 3.x available

Workflow

Step 1: Extract Transcripts

For EACH YouTube URL provided, run the extraction script in parallel (one agent per video if multiple):

python "C:\Users\momomuchu\.claude\skills\youtube-insights\scripts\get-transcript.py" "<youtube-url>"

The script returns JSON with: video_id, title, channel, duration, upload_date, view_count, description, transcript.

If the script fails or transcript is empty, try specifying languages:

python "C:\Users\momomuchu\.claude\skills\youtube-insights\scripts\get-transcript.py" "<youtube-url>" "fr,en"

Step 2: Analyze & Summarize

For each video, produce a structured insight summary using this format:

## [Video Title] — [Channel Name]

**Duration:** X min | **Views:** X | **Date:** YYYY-MM-DD

### Key Insights
- [Insight 1 — the most important, actionable takeaway]
- [Insight 2]
- [Insight 3]
- [...]

### What to Take Away
[2-3 sentences: what's personally actionable for the user based on their context/projects]

### Notable Quotes
> "[Direct quote from transcript that captures a key point]"

Rules

Parallel extraction — if multiple URLs, launch all transcript downloads simultaneously
Language detection — the script auto-tries en, fr, es, de, pt, ja, ko, zh. French videos will get French transcripts
Insight focus — don't just summarize chronologically. Extract the NON-OBVIOUS insights, frameworks, numbers, and actionable advice
User context — if memory has info about the user's projects/goals, connect insights to what matters to them
Be concise — max 10 bullet points per video. Quality over quantity
Numbers matter — always extract specific metrics, revenue numbers, conversion rates, timeframes
Frameworks — if the speaker shares a step-by-step framework, extract it as a numbered list
Warnings — if the speaker warns against something, flag it clearly
Skip filler — ignore sponsor segments, self-promotion, "like and subscribe" content
