Download videos, audio, subtitles, and clean paragraph-style transcripts from YouTube and any other yt-dlp supported site. Use when asked to “download this video”, “save this clip”, “rip audio”, “get subtitles”, “get transcript”, or to troubleshoot yt-dlp/ffmpeg and formats/playlists.

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.
./scripts/vtd.js can: Print a transcript as a clean paragraph (timestamps optional). Download video/audio/subtitles. Transcript behavior: YouTube: fetch via youtube-transcript-plus when possible. Otherwise: pull subtitles via yt-dlp, then clean into a paragraph.

List available formats (format ids, resolution, container, audio-only, etc): ./scripts/vtd.js formats --url 'https://…' Download a specific format id (example): ./scripts/vtd.js download --url 'https://…' --output-dir ~/Downloads -- --format 137+140 Prefer MP4 container without re-encoding (remux when possible): ./scripts/vtd.js download --url 'https://…' --output-dir ~/Downloads -- --remux-video mp4
Default transcript output is a single paragraph. Use --timestamps only when asked. Bracketed cues like [Music] are stripped by default; keep them via --keep-brackets. Pass extra yt-dlp args after -- for transcript fallback, download, audio, subs, formats. ./scripts/vtd.js formats --url 'https://…' -- -v
Missing yt-dlp / ffmpeg: brew install yt-dlp ffmpeg Verify: yt-dlp --version ffmpeg -version | head -n 1
