youtube-transcript-native-node

Extract a clean plain-text transcript from existing YouTube captions - native Node.js, zero npm dependencies. Use when the user asks to summarize, quote, or extract captions/transcript text from a YouTube URL. Wraps the `yt-dlp` binary on PATH; writes subtitles to a temp dir, parses .vtt captions, strips timestamps/HTML tags, and prints clean text or JSON. No API keys required.
