media-download

Download videos, audio and images to local files from a link. Video and audio come from X/Twitter, YouTube, Instagram, Facebook, TikTok, Threads, Reddit, Vimeo, LinkedIn, Twitch, VK, Rutube, Bilibili, Dailymotion and the 1800+ other sites yt-dlp supports. Pinterest images come from a pin, board, profile or a plain search query, which is useful for moodboards and visual references. Use when the user pastes a link and wants to download, save or grab it, wants its audio, metadata or a whole playlist, or wants Pinterest pictures or references for a style. Runs locally; no account or API key. Triggers: "скачай видео", "скачать по ссылке", "скачай с пинтереста", "собери референсы", "download this video", "save this reel/tweet/short", "rip the audio", "pinterest moodboard".

# Media download

There are two scripts in `scripts/` next to this file. Each prints only the paths of the files it saved on stdout. Messages and errors go to stderr. Neither shows a progress bar, so the output stays short. Run long downloads with a generous timeout or in the background.

## Video and audio by link: `scripts/video.sh`

It uses yt-dlp from PATH, or downloads a standalone build into `~/.cache/video-download` the first time. It picks an mp4 (h264 + aac) that plays everywhere.

```bash
S=<this skill dir>/scripts/video.sh
bash $S "<url>"                       # best quality → ./downloads/<Site>/<title> [<id>].mp4
bash $S -q 720 "<url>"                # cap at 720p (smaller side, so vertical videos stay 720×1280)
bash $S -a "<url>"                    # audio only → mp3
bash $S -p "<playlist or carousel>"   # every item
