The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

2 rules. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 2 are very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 13 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 2

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use the AutomationNation connector's get_youtube_transcripts tool.

    line 6
  2. Very specific:

    If these tools aren't available, the AutomationNation connector isn't connected: ask the user to add …

    line 15

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 13 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

Use the AutomationNation connector's get_youtube_transcripts tool. Through Apify's hosted connector each tool name carries a prefix and a short suffix, for example automati--data-tools-mcp-server--search_flights-9279; match tools by the name in the middle.

  1. Pass the video URLs or IDs (up to 10), or a channel or playlist URL with max_videos_per_channel for its latest videos. Set language to the language the user wants; use translate_to only when they need a translation (it's best effort).
  2. Set include_timestamps when the user wants quotes, chapters or "where does it say…", so you can cite [mm:ss] positions.
  3. Base summaries only on the transcript. Structure them as: one-line takeaway, key points, and notable quotes with timestamps. Say if a video has no captions instead of guessing what it contains.
  4. For long transcripts, summarise section by section, keeping the timestamps.

Transcripts cost $1.50 per 1,000 on the user's Apify account; videos without captions are free.

If these tools aren't available, the AutomationNation connector isn't connected: ask the user to add https://mcp.apify.com/?tools=automationnation/data-tools-mcp-server as an MCP server or connector and sign in with a free Apify account, then continue.
