What video-downloader does

The skill lets your agent fetch videos from YouTube and other platforms into a local folder. You choose the resolution — 480p, 720p, 1080p or 4K — and the container: MP4, WebM, or audio alone. Title, description and thumbnail come along with the file, so an archive stays searchable instead of turning into anonymous clips.

Playlists work too. Ask for a whole list, or hand over several links at once. For podcasts and music, audio-only is the sensible pick since the file stays small. On a slow connection, check the size first: an hour-long talk at 1080p is a heavy download.

The skill is meant for personal, educational and archival use. Grabbing someone else's content without permission and passing it around is a different matter — copyright and platform terms still apply.

What it helps with

  • keep a conference talk for offline viewing
  • rip the audio track out of a video as MP3
  • grab every clip in a playlist in one go
  • pull your own uploads down for editing
  • archive a video together with its title and thumbnail

Example prompts for the agent

  • Download this YouTube video at 1080p
  • Save the audio from this video as MP3
  • Download every video in this playlist

What does video-downloader do?

It downloads videos from YouTube and other platforms to your machine, lets you set resolution and format, handles playlists, and keeps the metadata next to the file.

Yes. The skill can save just the sound, for instance as MP3, which suits podcasts and music and keeps the file smaller.
