Agent Skills

Pre-built skills for OpenClaw, Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, and the Claude Agent SDK.

Agent Skills are slim wrappers around the API designed for autonomous coding agents. They bundle tool descriptions, error handling, and idiomatic example calls so the agent can fetch transcripts, search YouTube, or browse channels with one line of intent.

Where to install

  • Claude Code — drop the skill into your ~/.claude/skills/ directory.
  • Cursor / Windsurf — install via the agent skills marketplace.
  • OpenClaw — bundle as part of your custom agent project.

Authentication

Skills read your API key from the TRANSCRIPT_API_KEY environment variable so you never paste tokens into prompts. Export it once and the skill will pick it up.
