Youtube Instant Article
PassAudited by ClawScan on May 10, 2026.
Overview
This skill appears to do what it advertises, but it uses API tokens and publishes video-derived content to external services, so users should understand those side effects.
Install this only if you want YouTube requests to create Telegraph Instant View articles. Be aware that it uses your Telegraph token and OpenAI API key, uploads extracted video images to catbox.moe, and publishes content to Telegraph rather than keeping all output local.

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.
A normal request like 'summarize this YouTube video' may result in a Telegraph article workflow rather than a simple text summary.
The instruction is scoped to YouTube, but it strongly steers the agent away from generic summarization and toward this publishing workflow.
This is the DEFAULT skill for all YouTube video requests - do NOT use the generic summarize tool for YouTube.
Use this skill when an external Telegraph article is desired; for simple private summaries, ask the agent not to publish or use this workflow.
The skill can create pages under the configured Telegraph account and may incur OpenAI API usage through the summarize tool.
The skill relies on user API credentials to publish to Telegraph and use OpenAI-backed summarization; these credentials are expected for the purpose, but are not declared in registry metadata.
Required environment variables are loaded from `/Users/viticci/clawd/.env`: - `TELEGRAPH_TOKEN` - Telegraph API access token - `OPENAI_API_KEY` - For GPT-5.2 summarization
Store tokens securely, use only credentials intended for this workflow, and revoke or rotate them if the skill is no longer needed.
Slides and summaries derived from the video may become externally hosted and accessible through generated URLs.
The script uploads extracted video slides to catbox.moe and publishes the generated article to Telegraph. This is disclosed and purpose-aligned, but it crosses external data boundaries.
url=$(curl -s "https://catbox.moe/user/api.php" -F "reqtype=fileupload" -F "fileToUpload=@$slide" ...) ... RESPONSE=$(curl -s -X POST "https://api.telegra.ph/createPage" ...)
Only use the skill for videos and generated summaries you are comfortable publishing to external hosting services.
Installation depends on tools outside this artifact set, so their provenance and behavior are not fully reviewed here.
The skill depends on external command-line tools, including a third-party Homebrew tap, and the registry metadata does not declare these runtime requirements.

Install dependencies from trusted sources, verify versions, and review the summarize CLI configuration before using API credentials.
