Reverse engineered prompt
Build me a local Python tool that turns YouTube into a deliberate watch queue instead of a doomscroll feed.
I want it to keep a list of subscribed channels, check for new videos, skip Shorts and other stuff that would waste time, then fetch transcripts when possible, summarize and label each video, and write clean triage notes into Obsidian. When I actually watch something, it should be able to add a longer analysis section to the same note, without overwriting my own text. It should also handle a one time import from Google Takeout so I can create a watch history baseline.
Make it work from simple local commands, with a config file, SQLite storage, transcript caching, health checks, and dry run modes so I can preview what it would do. Keep it careful about not rerunning paid work twice, and do not require any special agent setup. If you need current library docs or API details, look them up online first.
