YouTube Action Planner & Topic Researcher

Researches top fresh videos on any technical or business topic, extracts full transcripts in batch, synthesizes multi-expert insights, and compiles an actionable step-by-step implementation plan.

🚀 Workflow

Step 1: Discover High-Authority Videos

When given a topic (e.g. "building autonomous AI agents 2026"):

Identify 5 to 10 top-ranking, fresh, high-authority YouTube video URLs.

Step 2: Batch Extract Transcripts

Run the batch transcript extractor passing all video URLs:

python3 scripts/get_transcript.py <URL_1> <URL_2> <URL_3> ... <URL_10>

Outputs a consolidated JSON mapping each video URL to its full text transcript without downloading video or audio streams.

Step 3: Cross-Expert Synthesis

Synthesize the extracted transcripts across all videos:

Identify consensus practices vs divergent viewpoints.
Filter out sponsor segments, channel promos, and generic fluff.
Extract concrete tools, libraries, architectural decisions, and failure modes.

Step 4: Generate Action Plan Report

Format into a clean, structured implementation document saved to ./plans/YYYY-MM-DD_topic-slug.md:

# 📋 Master Action Plan: [Topic Name]

**Synthesized Sources:** {count} videos analyzed  
**Generated:** YYYY-MM-DD  

## 🎯 Executive Summary
