Clip and download specific time ranges or full YouTube videos in various qualities, including audio-only MP3 extraction, using precise timestamps.
Clip and download specific time ranges or full YouTube videos in various qualities, including audio-only MP3 extraction, using precise timestamps.
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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. 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. Then review README.md for any prerequisites, environment setup, or post-install checks. Summarize what changed and any follow-up checks I should run.
Extract specific sections from YouTube videos with precise timestamps. A powerful ClawHub skill that makes video clipping effortless - just provide a URL and time range.
ClawHub is designed primarily for video clipping - extracting specific time ranges from YouTube videos. Whether you need a 30-second highlight, a 5-minute tutorial segment, or any custom time range, ClawHub handles it with precision. It also supports full video downloads, audio extraction, and quality selection when needed.
Precise Timestamp-Based Clipping: Extract any time range (MM:SS or HH:MM:SS) Quality Selection: Clip in 720p, 1080p, or best available Audio Clipping: Extract audio clips as MP3 Fast Processing: Optimized for quick clip extraction
Download complete videos in various qualities Extract full audio tracks Custom output filenames and formats
/clawhub <youtube-url> [options]
/clawhub https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ --clip 00:30-02:15 Extracts from 30 seconds to 2 minutes 15 seconds.
/clawhub https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ --clip 01:00-03:30 --quality 1080p Extracts a 1080p clip from 1 minute to 3 minutes 30 seconds.
/clawhub https://youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ --clip 00:10-01:00 --audio-only Extracts audio from 10 seconds to 1 minute as MP3.

The skill accepts flexible timestamp formats: MM:SS: 01:30 (1 minute 30 seconds) HH:MM:SS: 01:15:30 (1 hour 15 minutes 30 seconds) M:SS: 1:30 (same as 01:30) SS: 90 (converted to 01:30)
You provide a YouTube URL and time range Claude parses your timestamps The skill extracts just that section using optimized methods: Method 1: yt-dlp's native clipping (fastest) Method 2: ffmpeg precise cutting (fallback) Your clip is saved to the current directory
Extract highlights for shorts or reels Clip reaction sections Create compilation segments Extract B-roll footage
Clip specific tutorial steps Extract lecture segments Create study materials Share specific explanations
Extract song sections Clip audio for remixes Get specific verses or choruses Create practice loops
Extract relevant video segments Create timestamped references Archive specific content Analyze particular sections
All clips and downloads are saved to your current working directory. You can specify a custom path using the --output flag.
Pure Python solution - no binary dependencies, just Python Auto-installs dependencies - yt-dlp Python module installed automatically if needed Clipping is optimized and fast - no need to download full videos first Quality is maintained - clips preserve the original video quality Copyright matters - only clip content you have rights to access Flexible timestamps - use whatever format is natural for you Minimal setup - Python is usually pre-installed, everything else is automatic
Language: Pure Python implementation Primary Library: yt-dlp Python module (auto-installed via pip) Audio Processing: ffmpeg (required for audio extraction, usually pre-installed) Supported Formats: All standard video and audio formats URL Support: youtube.com, youtu.be, and all YouTube URL variants Installation: Fully automatic - checks and installs yt-dlp module as needed
The skill will automatically try alternate methods if the first approach fails.
Use format: MM:SS or HH:MM:SS (e.g., 01:30 or 01:15:30)
Verify the YouTube URL is correct and the video is publicly accessible.
