matthull YouTube Transcribe
Transcribe a YouTube video, then follow the caller's instructions for what to do with the transcript.
Usage
/youtube-transcribe <youtube-url> [instructions for what to do with the transcript]
Workflow
1. Transcribe
Extract the URL from the arguments. Run:
~/.local/bin/youtube-to-signal "<url>" --model small --output-dir /tmp/youtube-transcribe
This downloads the audio, transcribes via Whisper, and saves a markdown file to /tmp/youtube-transcribe/.
Read the resulting transcript file from /tmp/youtube-transcribe/ (it will be the most recently created .md file there).
2. Follow Instructions
If the caller provided instructions beyond the URL, follow them — the transcript is now in your context. Summarize, analyze, extract, review, whatever was asked.
If no instructions were provided, present a brief summary of the video (title, channel, duration) and ask what the user wants to do with the transcript.
