About this skill

Problem

This skill addresses a specific content workflow: turning a YouTube video, or a transcript already copied by the user, into a reusable Chinese spoken script. It is not a line-by-line translation tool and it does not produce video files. The core deliverables are two: a Chinese spoken script and a replication structure.

How It Works

The skill separates two input paths: user-pasted transcripts that can be processed directly, and public caption queries that require a Beatra tool call. Queries are optional, paid, and must be confirmed before execution. The standard flow is:

  • Collect the source text and mark each sentence as caption-derived or user-provided.
  • Write the Chinese spoken script while preserving hooks, pacing, and speaker changes.
  • Extract the retention structure and distinguish supported beats from inference.
  • If a paid query was run, include task_id, final state, and billing.net_charged_credits.

Boundaries

It is suitable for replicating existing spoken content, not for inventing dialogue when no transcript is available. Captions exist only when the catalog returns them. If query access is unavailable and the user does not provide a transcript, the skill states the missing input instead of fabricating lines.

Use Cases

  • Turn a YouTube tutorial link into a reusable spoken script for later adaptation.
  • Use an existing transcript to extract hooks, section shifts, and speaker pacing for remixing.
  • Convert non-Chinese captions into a Chinese script with source labels for queried and pasted text.
  • Reuse the structure of an older video by first producing a skeleton, then rewriting a Chinese draft.

Best For

  • Short-video editors who need to break an older talk into a rewrite-ready structure.
  • Podcast hosts repurposing YouTube content into Chinese spoken scripts.
  • Matrix account operators who need a replicable Chinese draft from prior video content.
  • Localization editors checking provenance between queried captions and user-pasted text.
