Version History
- Removed the `/ytb_trade` command and related trigger phrase from documentation. - All other workflow and analysis steps remain unchanged.
What This Skill Does
Monitors YouTube notifications and extracts investment insights from financial videos. Fetches subtitles via yt-dlp or transcribes audio with whisper-cpp, then summarizes stock, crypto, and macro market content. Can chain into trade execution via the tiger-trade skill.
Combines subtitle extraction with audio transcription fallback so analysis works even when creators don't publish captions.
