curl -L -o yt-api https://github.com/nerveband/youtube-api-cli/releases/latest/download/yt-api-darwin-arm64
chmod +x yt-api
sudo mv yt-api /usr/local/bin/
```

## Setup

### 1. Google Cloud Console Setup

1. Go to [Google Cloud Console](https://console.cloud.google.com)
2. Create/enable YouTube Data API v3
3. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials (Desktop app)
4. Download client configuration

### 2. Configure yt-api

```bash
mkdir -p ~/.yt-api
cat > ~/.yt-api/config.yaml << EOF
default_auth: oauth
default_output: json
oauth:
  client_id: "YOUR_CLIENT_ID"
  client_secret: "YOUR_CLIENT_SECRET"
EOF
```

### 3. Authenticate

```bash
yt-api auth login  # Opens browser for Google login
yt-api auth status # Check auth state
```

## Commands

### List Operations

```bash
# List your videos
yt-api list videos --mine

# List channel videos
yt-api list videos --channel-id UC_x5XG1OV2P6uZZ5FSM9Ttw

# List playlists
yt-api list playlists --mine

# List subscriptions
yt-api list subscriptions --mine
```

### Search

```bash
# Basic search
yt-api search --query "golang tutorial"

# With filters

yt-api insert playlist --title "My Playlist" --privacy private

# Add video to playlist
yt-api insert playlist-item --playlist-id PLxxx --video-id VIDxxx
```

### Channel Operations

```bash
# Get channel info
yt-api list channels --id UCxxx --part snippet,statistics

# Update channel description
yt-api update channel --id UCxxx --description "New description"
```

## Output Formats

```bash
# JSON (default - LLM-friendly)
yt-api list videos --mine

# Table (human-readable)
yt-api list videos --mine -o table

# YAML
yt-api list videos --mine -o yaml

# CSV
yt-api list videos --mine -o csv > videos.csv
```

## Global Flags

| Flag | Short | Description |
|------|-------|-------------|
| `--output` | `-o` | Output format: json (default), yaml, csv, table |
| `--quiet` | `-q` | Suppress stderr messages |
| `--config` | | Path to config file |
| `--auth-type` | | Auth method: oauth (default), service-account |

## Environment Variables

| Variable | Description |
|----------|-------------|
| `YT_API_AUTH_TYPE` | Auth method: oauth or service-account |
| `YT_API_OUTPUT` | Default output format |
| `YT_API_CLIENT_ID` | OAuth client ID |
| `YT_API_CLIENT_SECRET` | OAuth client secret |
| `YT_API_CREDENTIALS` | Path to service account JSON |

## Authentication Methods

### OAuth 2.0 (Default)
Best for interactive use and accessing your own YouTube account.

```bash
yt-api auth login  # Opens browser
```

### Service Account
Best for server-side automation.

```bash
yt-api --auth-type service-account --credentials ./key.json list videos
```

## Quick Diagnostic Commands

```bash
yt-api info                      # Full system state
yt-api info --test-connectivity  # Verify API access
yt-api info --test-permissions   # Check credential capabilities
yt-api auth status               # Authentication details
yt-api version                   # Version info
```

## Error Handling

Exit codes:
- `0` - Success
- `1` - General error
- `2` - Authentication error
- `3` - API error (quota, permissions)
- `4` - Input error

## For LLMs and Automation

- JSON output by default
- Structured errors as JSON objects
- `--quiet` mode for parsing
- `--dry-run` validates without executing
- Stdin support for piping data

## Notes

- Requires valid Google Cloud credentials with YouTube Data API v3 enabled
- OAuth tokens stored in `~/.yt-api/tokens.json` (0600 permissions)
- Default output is JSON (LLM-optimized)
- Supports all YouTube Data API v3 resources

cupynumeric-migration-readiness

Included

Pre-migration readiness assessor for porting NumPy to cuPyNumeric. Use BEFORE substantial porting work begins when the user asks whether code will scale on GPU, whether they should migrate to cuPyNumeric, which NumPy patterns transfer cleanly, what must be refactored before porting, or mentions pre-port assessment, scaling analysis, or refactor planning. Inspect the user's source code, look up NumPy usage, cross-reference the cuPyNumeric API support manifest, and distinguish distributed-scaling-friendly patterns from blockers such as unsupported APIs, scalar synchronization, host round-trips, Python/object-heavy control flow, shape/data-dependent branching, and in-place mutation hazards. Produce a verdict of READY, LIGHT REFACTOR, SIGNIFICANT REFACTOR, or NOT RECOMMENDED, with concrete refactor pointers.

alibabacloud-data-agent-skill

Included

Invoke Alibaba Cloud Apsara Data Agent for Analytics via CLI to perform natural language-driven data analysis on enterprise databases. Data Agent for Analytics is an intelligent data analysis agent developed by Alibaba Cloud Database team for enterprise users. It automatically completes requirement analysis, data understanding, analysis insights, and report generation based on natural language descriptions. This tool supports: discovering data resources (instances/databases/tables) managed in DMS, initiating query or deep analysis sessions, real-time progress tracking, and retrieving analysis conclusions and generated reports. Use this Skill when users need to query databases, analyze data trends, generate data reports, ask questions in natural language, or mention "Data Agent", "data analysis", "database query", "SQL analysis", "data insights".

token-optimizer

Included

Reduce OpenClaw token usage and API costs through smart model routing, heartbeat optimization, budget tracking, and native 2026.2.15 features (session pruning, bootstrap size limits, cache TTL alignment). Use when token costs are high, API rate limits are being hit, or hosting multiple agents at scale. The 4 executable scripts (context_optimizer, model_router, heartbeat_optimizer, token_tracker) are local-only — no network requests, no subprocess calls, no system modifications. Reference files (PROVIDERS.md, config-patches.json) document optional multi-provider strategies that require external API keys and network access if you choose to use them. See SECURITY.md for full breakdown.
