How does the 'Lite' version differ from standard versions?

The Lite variant is optimized for cost and speed by combining processing steps and reducing the number of subagent calls, resulting in lower token usage.

What kind of output files does this skill generate?

It generates two primary files: a main summary file containing video details and comment insights, and a separate file containing the full, cleaned-up transcript.

Can it analyze community feedback from the video?

Yes, it includes a dedicated step to extract and analyze comments, surfacing corrections, alternative applications, and debates that add value beyond the video content itself.

Does this skill handle non-English YouTube videos?

Yes. If a video is not in English, the skill will prompt you for the language code and can utilize Whisper as a fallback if transcripts are not readily available.
