YouTube Watcher
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
This skill is narrowly aimed at fetching YouTube transcripts, but its instructions reference a helper script that is not included in the provided artifacts.
This appears benign and narrowly scoped for YouTube transcript work. Check that the missing get_transcript.py helper is present and trustworthy before running the documented command.
Findings (1)
Artifact-based informational review of SKILL.md, metadata, install specs, static scan signals, and capability signals. ClawScan does not execute the skill or run runtime probes.
The skill may fail as packaged, or a user may need to rely on a helper script that was not included in the reviewed artifacts.
The documented command refers to a helper script, but the provided manifest contains only SKILL.md and no scripts directory or get_transcript.py file. This is a packaging/provenance issue rather than evidence of malicious behavior.
python3 {baseDir}/scripts/get_transcript.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID"Before using it, verify that the referenced get_transcript.py script is actually included from a trusted source, or use yt-dlp directly for transcript retrieval.
