YouTube Transcript Generator

Security checks across malware telemetry and agentic risk

Overview

This skill appears to do what it claims: fetch YouTube subtitles, clean them, print them, and save a local transcript file.

Install only if you are comfortable using yt-dlp to access YouTube and saving transcript text on disk. Avoid transcribing sensitive videos in synced or shared folders, and provide an explicit output path when you want control over where the transcript is stored.

Missing User Warnings

Low
Confidence
88% confidence
Finding
The usage text does not clearly warn users that transcript content is saved to a local file by default, which can create unintended persistence of potentially sensitive video-derived text on disk. While not an active exploit by itself, this omission can lead to accidental data exposure on shared systems or in synced directories because users may assume output is only printed to stdout.
