Video Quote Finder

Find quote timestamps in YouTube videos using the summarize CLI transcript extraction with timestamps.

Quick start

python3 skills/video-quote-finder/scripts/find_quote_timestamp.py \
  "https://youtu.be/YFjfBk8HI5o" \
  "I think vibe coding is a slur"

Workflow

  1. Extract transcript with timestamps via summarize --extract --timestamps.
  2. Score transcript lines against the requested quote.
  3. Return best match + top alternatives.
  4. Include direct YouTube links with t=<seconds>.

Output format

  • best_match timestamp + line + score
  • best_link with timestamp
  • up to 5 candidate timestamps with links

Notes

  • Requires summarize CLI (@steipete/summarize) in PATH.
  • Works best when YouTube captions are available.
  • If no exact match is found, uses fuzzy matching and suggests alternatives.
