Improve coherence in drafts through a five-pass sub-agent workflow: resolve cross-draft argument conflicts, fix within-paragraph logic (self-contradictions, sudden topic jumps, disconnects, unsignaled pivots), smooth section transitions, smooth paragraph-boundary transitions, and run a final coherence audit. Use when a user says things like 'make this coherent', 'tighten the flow', 'this feels choppy', 'this paragraph contradicts itself', 'fix the logic jumps inside this paragraph', 'the sentences don't connect', 'can you smooth transitions', or asks to revise prose in Markdown, notes, essays, blog posts, emails, or docs so ideas connect cleanly without adding new points.
Write, review, and critique marketing copy using proven copywriting frameworks. Use when the user asks to write or generate sales copy, headlines, bullet points, email teasers, email sequences, sales letters, sales pages, landing page copy, social media ad copy (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), product descriptions, Amazon listings, or webinar registration copy. Also use when the user asks to review, critique, audit, score, or improve existing copy. Frameworks include customer avatar definition (F.R.E.D.), headline formulas, the ultimate bullet formula (feature + benefit + meaning), PAS / benefit / before-after-bridge sales formulas, email subject-line patterns, offer building and risk reversal, stealth closes, hooks and angles, and swipe file methodology. Produces multiple variations by default.
Design, build, and manipulate xarray data structures for highly linked, multi-dimensional data where measurements, derived estimates, and model outputs share coordinates and must stay synchronized. Use when: structuring laboratory/experimental/multi-assay data in xarray (Dataset or DataTree); designing coordinate systems for linked data; writing custom xarray indexes (custom Index subclasses, CoordinateTransforms, interval-based or N-D derived coordinate indexes); selecting/aligning/computing across linked xarray variables; linking data across experiments through shared coordinates or custom indexes; reading or manipulating xarray objects to help a user accomplish analysis goals; converting scattered CSV/Parquet/HDF5 workflows into unified xarray datasets. Covers: progressive data accumulation, coordinate design, sel/isel/where/align, groupby/rolling/ coarsen/resample, Dataset vs DataTree, custom index patterns (PeriodicIndex, RangeIndex, CoordinateTransform, NDIndex, DimensionInterval), and cross-experiment

This skill provides comprehensive YouTube operations using yt-dlp, always using the latest version via uvx.
uv - The Python package runner (provides uvx command)No pre-installation of yt-dlp is needed. The uvx command automatically fetches and runs the latest version.
Download best quality (default):
uvx yt-dlp -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download to custom location:
uvx yt-dlp -o "/path/to/folder/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download specific quality (e.g., 720p):
uvx yt-dlp -f "bestvideo[height<=720]+bestaudio/best[height<=720]" -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
List available formats before downloading:
uvx yt-dlp -F "VIDEO_URL"
Download audio only (mp3) - downloads to Synology music folder:
uvx yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 -o "~/Library/CloudStorage/SynologyDrive-sync/music/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download audio in other formats:
# AAC format
uvx yt-dlp -x --audio-format aac -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
# Opus format
uvx yt-dlp -x --audio-format opus -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
# Best quality audio (no conversion)
uvx yt-dlp -f bestaudio -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download subtitles only (no video):
# Auto-generated or manual subtitles in English
uvx yt-dlp --skip-download --write-auto-subs --sub-lang en --sub-format vtt -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s" "VIDEO_URL"
# Manual subtitles only (not auto-generated)
uvx yt-dlp --skip-download --write-subs --sub-lang en --sub-format vtt -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download subtitles in multiple languages:
uvx yt-dlp --skip-download --write-subs --sub-lang en,es,fr --sub-format vtt -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s" "VIDEO_URL"
List available subtitles:
uvx yt-dlp --list-subs "VIDEO_URL"
Convert subtitles to plain text (remove timestamps):
# Download as SRT first, then process
uvx yt-dlp --skip-download --write-auto-subs --sub-lang en --sub-format srt -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s" "VIDEO_URL"
# Then use sed or awk to extract just the text
sed '/^[0-9]*$/d; /^[0-9][0-9]:/d; /^$/d' ~/Downloads/video-title.en.srt > ~/Downloads/transcript.txt
Download video with embedded subtitles:
uvx yt-dlp --write-subs --embed-subs --sub-lang en -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Get video information without downloading:
# Basic info as JSON
uvx yt-dlp --dump-json "VIDEO_URL"
# Just the title
uvx yt-dlp --get-title "VIDEO_URL"
# Just the description
uvx yt-dlp --get-description "VIDEO_URL"
# Duration
uvx yt-dlp --get-duration "VIDEO_URL"
# Upload date
uvx yt-dlp --get-filename -o "%(upload_date)s" "VIDEO_URL"
# Channel/uploader
uvx yt-dlp --get-filename -o "%(uploader)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Extract all metadata to JSON file:
uvx yt-dlp --dump-json --skip-download "VIDEO_URL" > video-metadata.json
Get video chapters/timestamps:
# Chapters are included in --dump-json output
uvx yt-dlp --dump-json "VIDEO_URL" | jq '.chapters'
Download entire playlist:
uvx yt-dlp -o "~/Downloads/%(playlist)s/%(playlist_index)s-%(title)s.%(ext)s" "PLAYLIST_URL"
Download playlist as audio only:
uvx yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 -o "~/Library/CloudStorage/SynologyDrive-sync/music/%(playlist)s/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "PLAYLIST_URL"
Download specific videos from playlist:
# Videos 1-5
uvx yt-dlp --playlist-items 1-5 -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "PLAYLIST_URL"
# Specific videos (1, 3, 5)
uvx yt-dlp --playlist-items 1,3,5 -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "PLAYLIST_URL"
Get playlist information without downloading:
# Full playlist metadata
uvx yt-dlp --dump-json --flat-playlist "PLAYLIST_URL"
# Just list video titles
uvx yt-dlp --get-filename -o "%(title)s" --flat-playlist "PLAYLIST_URL"
Download only new videos from playlist (useful for subscriptions):
# Creates archive file to track downloaded videos
uvx yt-dlp --download-archive archive.txt -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "PLAYLIST_URL"
Download thumbnail only:
uvx yt-dlp --skip-download --write-thumbnail --convert-thumbnails png -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download video with embedded thumbnail:
uvx yt-dlp --embed-thumbnail -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Get all available thumbnails:
uvx yt-dlp --list-thumbnails "VIDEO_URL"
Download with speed limit:
uvx yt-dlp --limit-rate 1M -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download age-restricted content (requires cookies):
# Export cookies from browser first, then:
uvx yt-dlp --cookies cookies.txt -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download with custom filename:
uvx yt-dlp -o "~/Downloads/my-custom-name.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Resume interrupted download:
# yt-dlp resumes automatically if you run the same command
uvx yt-dlp -o "~/Downloads/%(title)s.%(ext)s" "VIDEO_URL"
Download with date range filter:
# Only videos uploaded after date
uvx yt-dlp --dateafter 20240101 "CHANNEL_URL"
# Only videos uploaded before date
