Overview
This instruction-only podcast organizer is coherent and purpose-aligned, but it stores podcast preferences locally and may use transcript tools or services for summaries.
This skill appears safe to install if you are comfortable with it maintaining a local `~/podcasts/` workspace and using transcript sources or tools when summarizing episodes. Keep sensitive personal notes out of the podcast files if you do not want them reused in future recommendations.

Podcast URLs, audio, captions, or transcript queries may be fetched or processed by tools or outside services when generating summaries.
The skill may direct the agent to use local transcript tools or external podcast services to obtain source material for summaries. This is central to the stated purpose, but it is still tool and service use the user should recognize.
Sources for Transcripts ... YouTube auto-captions (via yt-dlp) ... Whisper transcription if audio available ... Third-party services (Taddy, Podcast Index)
Use trusted transcript sources, confirm before processing private audio, and be aware when third-party services are used.
Your podcast interests, VIP guest watchlist, and learning notes may persist locally and shape later recommendations or summaries.
The skill intentionally creates persistent local records of subscriptions, listening progress, extracted insights, and guest watchlists that may be reused in future podcast recommendations or briefings.
Store podcast data in `~/podcasts/` ... subscriptions.md ... queue.md ... knowledge.md ... guests.md
Review the `~/podcasts/` files periodically, avoid storing sensitive personal information there, and delete or edit entries you do not want reused.
