description: DEPRECATED — this skill has migrated to the `OpeItcLoc03/yt-tools` Claude Code plugin (canonical source). To restore yt-tools functionality, install the plugin via `/plugin marketplace add OpeItcLoc03/claude-plugins` followed by `/plugin install yt-tools@opeitcloc03-claude-plugins`. The plugin's bundled SessionStart hook auto-runs `pipx install --force "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT[full]"` (from the plugin's local clone, fallback to core), and its bundled skill (full English, mixed RU/EN triggers) takes over from this stub. Once the plugin is installed, this `claude-skills/skills/using-yt-tools/` directory becomes redundant and can be deleted. This stub intentionally declares **no trigger phrases** to avoid double-activation with the plugin's skill — it remains inert until invoked by name.

# using-yt-tools — deprecated stub

This skill has migrated to the **`OpeItcLoc03/yt-tools` Claude Code plugin**.
It is no longer maintained in the `claude-skills` repository — all future
changes (CLI flag updates, new flows, bug fixes, version bumps) ship with
the plugin distribution.

## Why the move

Bundling the skill into a self-contained plugin (Python CLI + skill + hooks
+ LICENSE in one repo) lets one user-action install everything: the
plugin's `SessionStart` hook auto-runs
`pipx install --force "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT[full]"` (from the plugin's local
clone, not PyPI) and probes `ffmpeg`, and the bundled skill activates the
same three flows
(iterative-watch / targeted-frames / audio-analysis) without any separate
`claude-skills` install step. See the design rationale in
`OpeItcLoc03/common/.wiki/concepts/yt-tools-distribution.md`.

## How to install the replacement

```text
/plugin marketplace add OpeItcLoc03/claude-plugins
/plugin install yt-tools@opeitcloc03-claude-plugins
```

The first session after install will run the plugin's `SessionStart` hook
to install yt-tools from the plugin's local clone (via
`pipx install --force "$CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT[full]"`, falling back to core
if the `[full]` extras fail) and probe `ffmpeg`. From there the plugin's
bundled skill (canonical English version, mixed RU/EN triggers) takes
over.

## What to do with this stub

After `/plugin install yt-tools@opeitcloc03-claude-plugins` reports
success on your machine — delete this directory:

```bash
rm -rf ~/projects/claude-skills/skills/using-yt-tools/
```

This stub has no trigger phrases, so it remains inert and will not
double-activate alongside the plugin's skill. It exists only as a sign
post for anyone still looking for the old location.
