  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • 3 bundled files

    Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.

  • Open source

    Published by chubbyguan on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Youtube Transcribe AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/chubbyguan/chubbyskills/tree/main/youtube-transcribe
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/chubbyguan/chubbyskills.git /tmp/chubbyskills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/chubbyskills/youtube-transcribe .claude/skills/youtube-transcribe
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Youtube Transcribe in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Youtube Transcribe on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Youtube Transcribe is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

YouTube 视频转录 + 翻译 Skill

字幕优先:先抓官方/自动字幕(秒级、免 GPU),抓不到再下载音频用 SenseVoice-Small 转录;英文内容自动翻译成中文,输出中英对照 Markdown。加 --no-subtitle 可强制走音频转录。

为什么需要这个

YouTube 有大量优质英文内容,但很多人没时间看完或语言不通。这个 skill:

  • 转录视频为文字(支持中英文)
  • 英文内容自动翻译成高质量中文
  • 输出中英对照,方便学习

环境要求

bash
# Python 3.9+
python -m venv .venv
source .venv/bin/activate

# 依赖
pip install funasr modelscope torch torchaudio

# 系统依赖
# macOS: brew install ffmpeg yt-dlp
# Ubuntu: sudo apt install ffmpeg && pip install yt-dlp

# 翻译功能(可选,英文视频需要)
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your-api-key"

使用方法

bash
python scripts/transcribe.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx"
python scripts/transcribe.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx" --output ./output
python scripts/transcribe.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx" --no-translate  # 不翻译
python scripts/transcribe.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx" --no-subtitle  # 强制音频转录
python scripts/batch_transcribe.py urls.txt -o ./output --no-translate

流程

Step 1: yt-dlp 下载音频

bash
yt-dlp --extract-audio --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 128K \
  "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xxxxx"

Step 2: SenseVoice-Small 转录

python
from funasr import AutoModel
model = AutoModel(model="iic/SenseVoiceSmall", ...)
result = model.generate(input=audio_path, language="auto", use_itn=True)

Step 3: 语言检测 + 翻译

  • 中文内容 → 直接输出
  • 英文内容 → LLM 翻译成中文,输出中英对照

Step 4: 生成 Markdown

markdown

title: 视频标题
type: note
tags: [YouTube]
language: en
translated: true

# 视频标题

> 转录引擎:SenseVoice-Small | 翻译:DeepSeek

批量模式

scripts/batch_transcribe.py 支持 URL 列表批处理,默认单条失败后继续处理下一条;需要严格模式时加 --stop-on-error。

翻译配置

默认使用 DeepSeek API 翻译。需要设置环境变量:

bash
export DEEPSEEK_API_KEY="your-api-key"

支持的 LLM:

  • DeepSeek(推荐,性价比高)
  • OpenAI
  • 任何兼容 OpenAI API 格式的服务

性能数据

视频时长下载转录翻译总耗时
5 min~10s~5s~10s~30s

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Youtube Transcribe AI skill do?

YouTube 视频 → 下载 → 转录 → 翻译 → 存为 Markdown。 支持中英文,英文内容自动翻译成中文,输出中英对照。

Why use Youtube Transcribe on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Youtube Transcribe is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Youtube Transcribe in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/chubbyguan/chubbyskills/tree/main/youtube-transcribe. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Youtube Transcribe?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Youtube Transcribe?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Youtube Transcribe with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Youtube Transcribe AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by chubbyguan under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
