video-transcript

This skill appears to genuinely extract existing subtitles and save plain-text transcripts, but it has two practical inconsistencies you should consider before installing: - Translation mismatch: The SKILL.md promises Chinese translations for non-Chinese videos, but the included transcript.py does not perform any translation. If you need translated text, the skill will not provide it as-is. - Missing declared binary dependency: The code uses the yt-dlp executable via subprocess. You must install yt-dlp yourself (follow official sources) for the skill to work; the registry metadata does not declare this runtime binary requirement. Other considerations: - yt-dlp will make network requests to the video host to fetch metadata/subtitles; ensure this is acceptable in your environment. - The script writes files to ~/.openclaw/workspace/video-transcripts. Review or clean that directory as needed. - Installing yt-dlp should be done from trusted channels (PyPI or official releases). If you expect automatic translation, request an updated skill or additional code that calls a trusted translation API and declare any required credentials. If these issues are acceptable (you only need raw subtitle→text extraction), the skill is reasonable to use. If you need the promised translations or a declared dependency list, ask the publisher for a corrected version before trusting it.
