Extract YouTube video transcripts, metadata, and chapters using yt-dlp. Output formatted as Markdown with YAML frontmatter, saved to ~/Brains/brain/ (Obsidian vault).
To extract a transcript from a YouTube video:
python scripts/extract_transcript.py <youtube_url>
Optional: Specify custom output filename:
python scripts/extract_transcript.py <youtube_url> custom_filename.md
The generated Markdown includes comprehensive metadata:
title - Video titlechannel - Channel nameurl - YouTube URLupload_date - Upload date (YYYY-MM-DD)duration - Video duration (HH:MM:SS)description - Video description (truncated to 500 chars)tags - Array of video tagsview_count - View countlike_count - Like countTranscript organized by video chapters (if available):
## Chapter Title
**00:05:23** Transcript text for this segment.
**00:05:45** Next segment text.
If no chapters exist, all content appears under "## Transcript" heading.
Timestamps formatted as HH:MM:SS for consistency.
To remove duplicates from existing transcript files:
python scripts/deduplicate_transcript.py <markdown_file>
This removes transcript entries that are prefixes of subsequent entries (common in VTT files where subtitles accumulate).
Ensure yt-dlp is installed:
pip install yt-dlp

This skill should be used when applying proper typography to prose text or files in Russian, English, German, or French — smart quotes per locale («ёлочки», “curly”, „Gänsefüßchen“, « guillemets »), correct dashes (тире, em/en dash, Gedankenstrich, tiret), non-breaking spaces, ranges, ellipsis, and French espaces insécables before ! ? ; :. Fully deterministic via a pinned typograf-based CLI; never apply these rules by hand. Triggers on "типографика", "typograf", "оттипографь", "smart quotes", "fix typography", "неразрывные пробелы".

This skill should be used when inspecting or applying advanced OpenType features of a font (woff2/otf/ttf) — ligatures, stylistic sets (ss01–ss20), character variants (cvXX), texture healing, slashed zero, tabular/oldstyle figures, fractions, small caps, case-sensitive forms — and generating the CSS to enable them. Interviews the user via cenno to pick features. Triggers on "OpenType features", "font features", "stylistic sets", "ligatures", "texture healing", "tabular figures", "what can this font do".

--- name: pre-session-portrait description: Build a compressed, visualizable "portrait" of a consulting/coaching client before a session, so the paid hour is spent solving, not scoping. Runs a 7-lens JTBD-inspired interview (where / how / what / problem / ideal / tension / jobs-to-be-done) that takes rich open answers in and compresses them to an 11-field YAML portrait out. Delivers three ways: raw paste-into-a-clean-chat prompt, a secret GitHub gist link, or a Codex CLI one-liner. Use when prep
