Writing & Content Workflows

Claim inventory tool for YouTube videos. Use when the user pastes a YouTube URL and asks "what claims does this video make", "list every claim", "show me the evidence", "fact-check material", "extract the testable claims", "what does this person assert", or wants a research- grade timeline of every concrete and vague claim, every piece of evidence cited, and every pitch made — with timestamps and verbatim quotes for each. V1 is inventory-only; it does not verify the claims against external sources. Useful for researchers, journalists, skeptics, and anyone preparing to evaluate a creator's substance. Saves the full inventory to ~/youtube-reports/ and prints a one-glance dashboard inline.

Artifact extraction tool for YouTube videos — pulls links, code snippets, named books, tools, and people mentioned. Use when the user pastes a YouTube URL and asks "extract links from this video", "what tools did they mention", "what books did they reference", "pull the code snippets", "list the resources", "give me the references", or wants a clean reference list of named artifacts. Returns a categorized list (links, code, books, tools, people) with timestamps and verbatim mentions, plus an inline counts dashboard. Useful for tutorials, podcasts, and explainers where the creator references many resources. Saves the full extract to ~/youtube-reports/ and prints a one-glance dashboard inline.

Fast neutral summary tool for YouTube videos — no verdict, no judgment. Use when the user pastes a YouTube URL and asks "summarize this video", "tl;dr", "what does this video cover", "what's actually in this video", "give me the gist", "what does this say", "what's in here", or wants a 30-second read of what was actually said. Returns a 3–4 sentence TL;DR, a section-by-section breakdown with timestamps, top takeaways as bullets, and skippable-section markers so the reader can fast-forward past pitches and outros. Factual and neutral — never recommends watching or skipping. For a watch/skip recommendation use youtube-verdict instead. Saves the full summary to ~/youtube-reports/ and prints a one-glance dashboard inline.

Pre-watch decision tool for YouTube videos. Use when the user pastes a YouTube URL and asks "is this worth watching", "should I watch this", "should I skip this", "watch or skip", "give me a verdict on this video", "is this YouTube video any good", or wants a pre-watch summary that ends in a recommendation. Returns WATCH or SKIP with a 0–10 score (5 and 6 disallowed — the tool commits), a best-minutes range, substance density (concrete vs vague claims, evidence shown, pitches), and a who-should-watch / who-should-skip split. Also catches clickbait thumbnails — when the host LLM has vision capability, the skill extracts text overlays and visual elements from the thumbnail and flags any specific outcome promise (e.g. "$10K/DAY") that the transcript doesn't substantiate. Every flag cites a verbatim quote — from the transcript with a timestamp, or from the thumbnail with the slot [thumb]. No hallucinated criticism. For neutral summaries with no judgment use youtube-summary instead. Saves the full report to ~/youtube-reports/ and prints a one-glance dashboard inline.
