# YouTube research

Use [Collect sources](../collect-sources/SKILL.md) for the shared agent-guided workflow: select the product or competitor, recall its saved collection plan, extract using authorized tools, save originals and coverage, then analyze the acknowledged source IDs.

Keep the video URL/ID, channel, available transcript or captions and comment threads distinct. Identify whether text came from a transcript, description or comment. Note missing captions, unavailable replies, sorting and partial retrieval; top comments do not establish audience consensus.

If this channel is not selected, do not add it silently. If access or browser tooling is unavailable, report the missing capability or blocked coverage. Provider availability and costs depend on the configured execution path; this skill promises neither free extraction nor a working native connector.

Return exact citations, saved finding IDs and limitations. Keep vendor claims, customer identity and your interpretation separate.
