Claude skills for YouTube: what people ask

Which Claude skill should I use for YouTube?

Yes: 306 public skills from 149 GitHub repositories mention YouTube. The best-known ones named for it are baoyu youtube transcript (JimLiu/baoyu-skills, ★ 27k), youtube upload (dreammis/social-auto-upload, ★ 16k) and ads youtube (AgriciDaniel/claude-ads, ★ 11k). Stars belong to the whole repository, not to one skill.

How do I add baoyu youtube transcript to Claude?

For YouTube, copy the baoyu-youtube-transcript folder from JimLiu/baoyu-skills (the folder that holds SKILL.md) into ~/.claude/skills/ to use it in every Claude Code project, or into .claude/skills/ for one project. For the Claude apps, upload the zipped folder as a custom skill instead.

Does Anthropic make an official YouTube skill?

No. None of the 306 YouTube skills comes from Anthropic's own skills repository, so all of them are community-made across 149 repositories.

Skill or MCP server for YouTube: which do I need?

A skill teaches Claude a way of working; an MCP server gives it new tools, like access to YouTube itself. We list 165 MCP servers for YouTube if you need the connection.

Are there YouTube skills in other languages?

No: 10 of those listed, such as youtube upload and youtube transcribe skill, are written mainly in Chinese, Japanese, Korean or Russian rather than English, though the YouTube task is the same. Claude can follow them either way, but read them before you install.
