Security audit

yt-dlp-cli

Security checks for vulnerabilities and agentic risk

Overview

This skill provides a bounded yt-dlp workflow for user-requested media downloads and treats cookie/auth access as an explicit approval-only fallback.

Before installing, make sure you are comfortable with an agent downloading files to disk and running yt-dlp/ffmpeg for URLs you provide. Be especially careful before approving browser-cookie or auth use; the skill appropriately tells the agent to ask first and avoid exposing secrets.
