SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Video briefs often contain quotes and claims that cannot be traced back to what the video actually said, making them indistinguishable from invention. This Skill turns video URLs into timestamped transcripts with short briefs where every claim carries a citation, keeping the chain from URL to transcript to brief intact and inspectable. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Transcript Retrieval with Provenance: Fetches public caption tracks (human-uploaded preferred, auto-generated only as a labeled fallback) and records the retrieval method, language, and date for each source. - Cited Brief Drafting: Drafts short briefs where every load-bearing claim carries a timestamp citation, with verbatim quotes checked against the retrieved lines. - Side-by-Side Video Briefs: Briefs two videos with separate provenance chains, so no quote from one video is ever cited under the other. - Use Case: You are asked to summarize a competitor's product launch video and compare it with your own team's demo. The Skill normalizes both URLs, fetches and validates each transcript, and delivers two briefs with timestamp citations plus a comparison that cites each side separately. ## Quick Start Summarize this video URL into a short brief with timestamped citations for every claim, and flag anything uncaptioned or inaudible.

Frequently Asked Questions about transcript-extract

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I summarize a video from its URL with citations?▼

Provide the video URL and the Skill normalizes it, fetches the caption track, validates the transcript lines, and drafts a short brief where every load-bearing claim carries a timestamp citation. Quotes are verbatim against the retrieved lines, never cleaned up or invented.

How to compare two videos side by side with transcripts?▼

Provide both video URLs and the Skill keeps two separate provenance chains, one per video, then delivers two briefs plus a short comparison that cites each side separately. No quote from one video is ever attributed to the other.

Does video transcript extraction work with auto-generated captions?▼

Auto-generated captions are used only as a labeled fallback when no human-uploaded track exists for the requested language. The track identity (human or auto, language, machine-translated status) is always stated, and an auto track never briefs with the confidence of a human one.

What happens when a video has no captions or requires login?▼

Missing captions are reported as a finding such as "no captions" or "only first half covered", never silently written around. Videos requiring a login, rental, or credential you were not given are recorded as unreachable, and the Skill moves on without improvising access.

Can this Skill download or publish videos?▼

No. The Skill is read-only plus drafts: it fetches public captions and drafts briefs, but never downloads the video, uploads or publishes anything, or posts comments. Publishing a brief or acting on a consequential claim belongs to a separate routine with its own approval.
