Is this agent skill safe to install?

Gen Agent Trust Hubfail
The skill fetches YouTube transcripts which are attacker-controlled external content. Because the agent is instructed to process (clean up) and save this content to the filesystem, it is vulnerable to Indirect Prompt Injection if a video transcript contains malicious instructions.

What does this agent skill do?

YouTube Transcript

Extract transcripts from YouTube videos using the youtube-transcript-api.

Usage

Run the script with a YouTube URL or video ID:

uv run scripts/get_transcript.py "VIDEO_URL_OR_ID"

With timestamps:

uv run scripts/get_transcript.py "VIDEO_URL_OR_ID" --timestamps

Defaults

Without timestamps (default): Plain text, one line per caption segment
With timestamps: [MM:SS] text format (or [HH:MM:SS] for longer videos)

Supported URL Formats

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID
https://youtu.be/VIDEO_ID
https://youtube.com/embed/VIDEO_ID

Output

CRITICAL: YOU MUST NEVER MODIFY THE RETURNED TRANSCRIPT
If the transcript is without timestamps, you SHOULD clean it up so that it is arranged by complete paragraphs and the lines don't cut in the middle of sentences.
If you were asked to save the transcript to a specific file, save it to the requested file.
If no output file was specified, use the YouTube video ID with a -transcript.txt suffix.

Notes

Fetches auto-generated or manually added captions (whichever is available)
Requires the video to have captions enabled
Falls back to auto-generated captions if manual ones aren't available
