# Workfow Overview
1. run `python youtube-caption-to-obsidian/scripts/srt_generator.py {youtube_url} {output_dir}`  - output_dir is beside the script folder, for example: `youtube-caption-to-obsidian/output/`
2. wait for the script to finish and identify the generated Markdown transcript file from its output
3. read the generated output transcript file, summarize the content, and create an Obsidian note in `fleeting notes/from-claudian` with a link to the generated transcript file for reference.

if there's connection timeout error, try open `C:\Users\yhu3\ubi_proxy.txt` use the proxy address in the file, eg: `python youtube-caption-to-obsidian/scripts/srt_generator.py {youtube_url} {output_dir} --proxy-https {proxy_address:port}`
