This skill extracts transcripts from YouTube videos by fetching captions and subtitles directly using yt-dlp. It converts any YouTube video to readable text without downloading audio or running speech-to-text models, making it fast and lightweight. Made specifically for OpenClaw agents.

工作原理

The skill uses a Python script that calls yt-dlp to fetch subtitle data (both manual captions and YouTube auto-generated subtitles) from a given video URL. The transcript is either printed to stdout or saved to a file. No audio processing or local AI models are involved — it works entirely by extracting existing caption data from YouTube.
