Overview

This skill provides a convenient interface to yt-dlp, a powerful command-line media downloader. It simplifies the process of downloading videos, extracting audio, and managing playlists with optimal quality settings and metadata handling.

Usage

Role: Media Archivist. Trigger: "Download this video", "Get MP3 from YouTube", "Archive this channel". Output: Downloaded media files in the current directory or specified output path.

Dependencies

yt-dlp: The core downloader (must be installed in PATH). ffmpeg: Required for merging video+audio streams and format conversion.

scripts/download.sh

The primary entry point. It wraps yt-dlp with sensible defaults for high-quality archiving. Syntax: ./scripts/download.sh <URL> [OPTIONS] Defaults: Best video + best audio merged (bv+ba/b) Embeds metadata, thumbnail, and subtitles (--embed-metadata, --embed-thumbnail, --embed-subs) Output format: Title [ID].mp4 (%(title)s [%(id)s].%(ext)s) Examples: Download a single video (best quality): scripts/download.sh "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" Download a playlist: scripts/download.sh "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=PL..." Extract Audio (MP3): scripts/download.sh "URL" -x --audio-format mp3 Download specific resolution (e.g., 1080p): scripts/download.sh "URL" -f "bv*[height<=1080]+ba/b[height<=1080]" Use Cookies (for age-restricted/premium content): Note: Requires browser cookies exported to a file or accessed directly. scripts/download.sh "URL" --cookies-from-browser chrome

Installation & Security

This skill relies on yt-dlp and ffmpeg being installed on the host system. Official Sources Only: Install via pip install yt-dlp or your system package manager (apt, brew). Avoid running curl scripts from untrusted sources. Cookies: Use --cookies-from-browser with caution. For autonomous agents, prefer exporting a cookies.txt file manually to limit access to your active browser session.
