Hand the extracted package to your coding agent with a concrete install brief instead of figuring it out manually.
I downloaded a skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder and install it by following the included instructions. Tell me what you changed and call out any manual steps you could not complete.
I downloaded an updated skill package from Yavira. Read SKILL.md from the extracted folder, compare it with my current installation, and upgrade it while preserving any custom configuration unless the package docs explicitly say otherwise. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Downloads videos and extracts transcripts using yt-dlp (captions) with OpenAI Whisper fallback.

When captions are unavailable (common for TikTok, Instagram, X), the script downloads the audio and uploads it to OpenAI's transcription API (https://api.openai.com/v1/audio/transcriptions). This means: Audio content leaves your machine and is sent to OpenAI Requires OPENAI_API_KEY to be set If you don't want external transmission: don't set OPENAI_API_KEY, or use a local transcription model YouTube videos almost always have captions and will not trigger an upload.
