# Video Download Skill Wraps yt-dlp with automatic recovery for YouTube anti-bot challenges. ## Tool `scripts/download.py` — installs yt-dlp on first run, merges video+audio to MP4, auto-rotates strategies on bot detection, uses a download-archive for safe resume. ## Workflow 1. Collect all URLs from the user's request. 2. Determine output directory (current working directory if unspecified). 3. Decide single-video vs playlist mode: - User says "this video" / single URL → leave default (single-video). - User says "playlist" / "all videos" / passes a `playlist?list=` URL → add `--playlist`. 4. Run the script. If YouTube bot detection hits, the script auto-rotates strategies. 5. Report which files were saved and which strategy worked. ## Usage ```bash # Single video, current directory python scripts/download.py "https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=..." # Multiple URLs to a folder python scripts/download.py "URL1" "URL2" -o "/path/to/output" # Full playlist as 720p MP4 python scripts/download.py "https://www.youtube.com/playlist?list=..." --playlist -o "./out" # Force a specific browser for cookies (skips auto-rotation) python scripts/download.py "URL" --cookies-from-browser chrome # Force a manual cookies.txt file python scripts/download.py "URL" --cookies "~/Downloads/www.youtube.com_cookies.txt" # Higher quality python scripts/download.py "URL" --max-height 1080 ``` ## Flags | Flag | Default | Notes | |---|---|---| | `-o`, `--output` | cwd | Output directory |
