Get YouTube transcripts, search videos, browse channels, and extract playlists — from any AI agent.
YouTube Skills gives your AI agent instant access to YouTube transcripts, video search, channel data, and playlist extraction.

Powered by TranscriptAPI, the same backend behind YouTubeToTranscript.com.
Works with 🦞 OpenClaw (ClawdBot/Moltbot), Hermes Agent, Claude Code, Cursor, Antigravity, and any agent that supports the Agent Skills format.

| Get a YouTube transcript | "Summarize this video: [URL]" |
| Search YouTube | "Find videos about machine learning" |
| Browse a channel | "What has TED posted this week?" |
| Get playlist contents | "List all videos in this playlist" |
| Extract video captions | "Get captions from this video in Spanish" |
| Bulk transcripts | "Get transcripts for every video in this channel" |

| Get latest uploads | "Show me NASA's recent videos" |
| Search within a channel | "Search the TED channel for 'artificial intelligence'" |
Setup — API Key
When you install a skill and run your agent for the first time, the agent will set up your free API key automatically. Here's what happens:
- The agent asks you for your email address and registers you with TranscriptAPI
- You'll receive an OTP code in your email — the agent will ask you to enter it
- Once verified, the agent saves the API key to your shell and agent config automatically
That's it. 100 free credits, no credit card required.
