How does it handle very long videos?

For videos over 45 minutes, the skill uses intelligent chunking to split the transcript into logical segments, summarizing each to maintain context while staying within token limits.

Will this skill clutter my project directory?

No, it is designed to create and use temporary directories for all downloads, ensuring your repository remains clean during the analysis process.

Can it analyze videos that don't have English subtitles?

The skill prefers English subtitles by default but can list and download subtitles in other languages if they are available on the video.

What happens if a video has no transcript available?

If no captions are found, the skill will notify you and offer to analyze alternative sources like the video description or user comments.

Does this skill require any external tools?

Yes, it requires yt-dlp to be installed on your system (via pip or Homebrew) to handle the transcript extraction and metadata retrieval.
