Install
git clone https://github.com/JimLiu/baoyu-skills /tmp/baoyu-skills && ln -s /tmp/baoyu-skills/skills/baoyu-youtube-transcript ~/.claude/skills/baoyu-youtube-transcriptFrom README
YouTube Transcript Downloads transcripts (subtitles/captions) from YouTube videos. Works with both manually created and auto-generated transcripts. No API key or browser required — uses YouTube's InnerTube API directly and automatically falls back to yt-dlp when YouTube blocks the direct API path. Fetches video metadata and cover image on first run, caches raw data for fast re-formatting. Script Directory Scripts in scripts/ subdirectory. {baseDir} = this SKILL.md's directory path. Resolve ${BUNX} runtime: if bun installed → bun; if npx available → npx -y bun; else suggest installing bun. Replace {baseDir} and ${BUNX} with actual values.
