Not sure how to start? Tell me what you're trying to get done and I'll help you turn it into a clear request. Goal: Get the transcript of a long YouTube video and give me short debriefs of the parts I care about. Quick check first: Which sections or topics do you want covered? What I need from you: - The YouTube link - The topics you care about Rules: - Get the video's captions and clean them into readable text. - If a tool you need isn't installed, tell me and walk me through installing it. - Write a short, structured debrief for each topic I picked. - If something is missing or unclear, ask me instead of guessing. - Stick to what's said in the video. Output: A clean transcript and a concise debrief for each topic. If any of this is unclear, tell me what you have and I'll help fill the gaps. You'll know it worked when: you understand the key points without watching the whole video. You can also ask me to: turn this into a reusable skill so next time you just paste a YouTube link.
