# YouTube Transcript

Works with manual and auto-generated transcripts. No API key or browser: uses YouTube's InnerTube API, falling back to `yt-dlp` when YouTube blocks the direct path. First run also fetches metadata and cover image and caches raw data for fast re-formatting.

## Script Directory

`{baseDir}` = this SKILL.md's directory. `${BUN_X}` = `bun` if installed; else `npx -y bun` if `npx` available; else suggest installing bun. Replace `{baseDir}` and `${BUN_X}` with actual values.

| Script | Purpose |
|--------|---------|
| `scripts/main.ts` | Transcript download CLI |
