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.
Download YouTube videos with full control over quality and format settings.
The simplest way to download a video: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID" This downloads the video in best available quality as MP4 to /mnt/user-data/outputs/.
Use -q or --quality to specify video quality: best (default): Highest quality available 1080p: Full HD 720p: HD 480p: Standard definition 360p: Lower quality worst: Lowest quality available Example: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -q 720p
Use -f or --format to specify output format (video downloads only): mp4 (default): Most compatible webm: Modern format mkv: Matroska container Example: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -f webm
Use -a or --audio-only to download only audio as MP3: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -a
Use -o or --output to specify a different output directory: python scripts/download_video.py "URL" -o /path/to/directory
Download video in 1080p as MP4: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -q 1080p Download audio only as MP3: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -a Download in 720p as WebM to custom directory: python scripts/download_video.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=dQw4w9WgXcQ" -q 720p -f webm -o /custom/path
The skill uses yt-dlp, a robust YouTube downloader that: Automatically installs itself if not present Fetches video information before downloading Selects the best available streams matching your criteria Merges video and audio streams when needed Supports a wide range of YouTube video formats
Downloads are saved to /mnt/user-data/outputs/ by default Video filename is automatically generated from the video title The script handles installation of yt-dlp automatically Only single videos are downloaded (playlists are skipped by default) Higher quality videos may take longer to download and use more disk space
