YouTool

YouTool is a repo-local project for YouTube transcript and timeline extraction.

Planned workflow

1. Load a YouTube URL in an automated browser session.
2. Save full HTML after transcript UI is opened.
3. Extract timestamped transcript/timeline rows.
4. Save rows to CSV (and optional JSON).
5. Use an LLM to generate an H2-only markdown outline with topic labels, timestamps, and deep links.
