BC youtube-search
Search YouTube for videos, channels or playlists, or search inside one channel, via the BulkTranscripts API, then fetch transcripts of the results. Use when the user asks to find videos about a topic, research what YouTube says about something, or locate a creator's videos on a subject. Requires a free BulkTranscripts API key in BULKTRANSCRIPTS_API_KEY, created at https://bulktranscripts.co/app?tab=mcp (Google sign-in, 30 free credits, no card).

As a process C 52/100 · Has gaps — weak spots: result and completion, inputs and preconditions, consistency
How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 52/100
- 0Result and completion. Does not say what the result is
- 0Inputs and preconditions. Does not say what the process needs to start
- 30Running it twice. 6 mutating operations with no state check
- 40Consistency. Frontmatter name (youtube-search) differs from the folder (bulktranscripts-youtube-search)
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 100Steps. 12 steps
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 1227 tokens
- 100Progress reporting. Reports progress
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
