Type: OpenClaw Skill Name: youtube-watcher Version: 1.0.0 The OpenClaw skill 'youtube-watcher' is designed to fetch and clean YouTube video transcripts using the `yt-dlp` utility. The `SKILL.md` provides clear instructions for the agent, and the `scripts/get_transcript.py` script executes `yt-dlp` with specific arguments to download subtitles into a temporary directory, then cleans and prints the text. There is no evidence of data exfiltration, malicious execution beyond the intended use of `yt-dlp`, persistence mechanisms, prompt injection attempts against the agent, or obfuscation. The behavior is fully aligned with its stated purpose.
