What problem does it solve? Long YouTube videos are slow to watch and impossible to skim, and summaries written from titles or comments cannot be trusted. This Skill turns one video into a short, verifiable brief where every claim is anchored to a timestamped transcript passage. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Transcript-backed summaries: Fetches captions (manual preferred, auto flagged) and writes a 5-line brief covering what the video is, its thesis, key points, caveats, and who should watch. - Verbatim timestamped quotes: Extracts two to four load-bearing passages with clickable timestamps so every claim can be checked against the source. - Honest failure reporting: Treats unwatchable, private, removed, or captionless videos as a finding, never inventing content from the title or comments. - Use Case: A colleague pastes a 40-minute conference talk link and asks "is this worth watching?" — you get a brief with the thesis, three supporting points, verbatim quotes, and a section map to jump straight to the relevant moments. ## Quick Start Summarize this YouTube video into a brief with timestamped quotes: paste the video URL and ask for the key points.
