baoyu-youtube-transcript

# YouTube Transcript Downloads transcripts (subtitles/captions) from YouTube videos. Works with both manually created and auto-generated transcripts. No API key or browser required — uses YouTube's InnerTube API directly and automatically falls back to `yt-dlp` when YouTube blocks the direct API path. Fetches video metadata and cover image on first run, caches raw data for fast re-formatting. ## Script Directory Scripts in `scripts/` subdirectory. `{baseDir}` = this SKILL.md's directory path. Resolve `${BUN_X}` runtime: if `bun` installed → `bun`; if `npx` available → `npx -y bun`; else suggest installing bun. Replace `{baseDir}` and `${BUN_X}` with actual values. | Script | Purpose | |--------|---------| | `scripts/main.ts` | Transcript download CLI | ## Usage ```bash # Default: markdown with timestamps (English) ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <youtube-url-or-id> # Specify languages (priority order) ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <url> --languages zh,en,ja # Without timestamps ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <url> --no-timestamps # With chapter segmentation ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <url> --chapters # With speaker identification (requires AI post-processing) ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <url> --speakers # SRT subtitle file ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <url> --format srt # Translate transcript ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <url> --translate zh-Hans # List available transcripts ${BUN_X} {baseDir}/scripts/main.ts <url> --list ...
