Can I extract specific quotes with timestamps?

Yes, by using the 'Quotes' mode or the --with-segments flag, the skill retrieves timestamped data for precise referencing.

Does this skill support all YouTube URL formats?

Yes, it supports standard watch links, shortened youtu.be links, embed URLs, and direct 11-character video IDs.

Where are the video analyses and transcripts saved?

By default, they are saved to ~/.claude/knowledge/youtube, with analyses stored as Markdown and raw data as JSON.

Does it automatically analyze every YouTube link I paste?

No, the skill is designed to trigger only when you explicitly request an analysis, summary, or extraction to avoid unnecessary API calls.
