Pulls YouTube transcripts through TranscriptAPI.com so you can summarize, quote, or analyze video content without manually watching. Works with any YouTube URL or video ID, handles full videos and shorts, and returns either structured JSON with precise timestamps or clean text for translation and analysis. The API is straightforward: one endpoint, minimal parameters, sensible defaults. Free tier gives you 100 credits to start. The skill auto-triggers when you paste a video link or ask Claude to work with video content, which saves you from having to explicitly invoke it. Main gotcha: you must set a proper User-Agent header or Cloudflare blocks the request with a 403.
