Gemini Yt Video Transcript
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 1, 2026.
Overview
The skill does what it advertises: it uses a Gemini API key to transcribe a user-provided YouTube URL and saves the transcript, with expected external-service and file-output considerations.
Before installing, make sure you are comfortable providing a Gemini API key and sending the chosen YouTube URL to Google Gemini for processing. The script saves transcripts locally in the workspace by default, so review or delete generated files if the transcript content is sensitive.
