You have access to the primary native youtube WASM tool (actions: get_transcript, get_video_details, get_channel_videos, search_videos), as well as fallback search/scraper tools (serper, tavily, jina, firecrawl).
> Important: Always prefer youtube -> get_transcript to get clean plain-text script transcripts instantly without scraping overhead.

DecimalAI ran this skill against gemini-3.6-flash twice over the same eval suite — once with the skill loaded and once without — and compared the two runs case by case. 23 cases were attempted, and 18 counted toward the lift figure. The other 5 produced results that are not comparable between the two arms, so they are excluded from the headline rather than averaged into it. The headline lift of +30 percentage points is the difference between those two pass rates over the 18 comparable cases. 3 cases got worse with the skill loaded, and they are included in that figure.
Without the skill loaded, the model failed this case. With it loaded, the same prompt on the same model passed. This is one improved case from the latest verified run; every case, including any that regressed, is in the table above.
| Model | Method | Date | Lift |
|---|---|---|---|
| gemini-3.6-flash | verified | 8/28/2026 | +9% |
