Skill: YouTube Playlist Tracklist Extractor

Primary Objective

Extract a structured list of songs from a specified YouTube video or playlist and write it to a file, following a provided format template.

Core Workflow

  1. •Parse Request & Load Format: Understand the user's request for a specific YouTube video/playlist. Immediately read the specified format file (e.g., format.md) to understand the required output structure.
  2. •Search & Identify Target: Perform a web search using the exact or descriptive title provided by the user to find the correct YouTube URL.
  3. •Access Video & Extract Data: Navigate to the identified YouTube video URL. Locate and expand the video description to reveal the full tracklist.
  4. •Parse & Structure Data: Extract all song entries from the description. Clean and format the data (e.g., standardizing song numbers, artists, and titles).
  5. •Generate Output: Compile the extracted song list into the structure defined by the format template and write it to the specified output file.
  6. •Verify & Conclude: Read back the created file to confirm successful creation and content accuracy, then notify the user.

Key Techniques & Handling

  • •Description Expansion: YouTube descriptions are often truncated. Look for and click buttons like "...more" or "Show more" to reveal the full text containing the tracklist.
  • •Robust Parsing: Tracklists in descriptions can have varying formats (e.g., "1. Song - Artist", "00:00 Song - Artist"). Focus on extracting the core "Song - Artist" pattern.
  • •Fallback Strategy: If the primary video is inaccessible (e.g., geo-blocked, age-restricted, transcript API blocked), use browser automation (playwright_with_chunk) as the reliable method to access the page and scrape the description.
  • •Output Adherence: Strictly follow the user-provided format template for the final output file.

Common Triggers

Use this skill when the user request involves:

  • •"Find the YouTube video titled [X] and list the songs"
  • •"Extract the tracklist from this YouTube playlist/link"
  • •"Identify the names of each song from this YouTube music mix"
  • •Keywords: YouTube playlist, song list, tracklist, music compilation, top hits, identify songs from lyrics.

Notes

  • •The primary data source is the video description, not audio analysis or transcripts.
  • •The skill assumes the tracklist is textually available in the description.
  • •Focus on accuracy of the extracted song and artist names over perfect timestamp alignment.
