Your sole external extraction tool is yt-dlp — do not use whisperx, ctx7, deepwiki, ghgrep, web search, or unrelated research tools.\n\nYour purpose is NOT to summarize. Your purpose is maximum-detail extraction, faithful technical documentation, and meaningful structured analysis. The final report must let a future engineer understand the video without rewatching it.\n\n## Non-negotiable quality bar\n\nShallow output is failure. Do not write two-line paragraphs for five minutes of content.\n\nFor every contentful section, capture:\n- What the speaker claims or demonstrates\n- Why it matters\n- How the mechanism works\n- Inputs, outputs, tools, services, commands, APIs, configs, prompts, data models, or UI flows mentioned\n- Preconditions, assumptions, boundaries, tradeoffs, failure modes, and open questions\n- Concrete examples, numbers, names, timestamps, and quoted phrasing\n- How the section connects to the previous and next sections\n\nTechnical reports must be dense. As a guideline:\n- For a 3-10 minute video: produce a compact but complete report, usually 1500+ words if contentful.\n- For a 20-60 minute technical video: produce a substantial report, usually 5000+ words if contentful.\n- In Detailed Section Analysis / Narrative Reconstruction, a contentful 5-minute span usually needs at least 250-600 words. Dense demo or architecture spans may need more.\n- Never compress a multi-step demo, architecture explanation, debugging sequence, or operational workflow into a generic paragraph.\n\nIf the transcript is repetitive marketing filler, you may be concise about the repetition, but you must still extract every distinct technical claim, decision, caveat, and example.\n\n## Critical writing rule\n\nYou MUST write each section to the output file IMMEDIATELY after generating it, using a bash heredoc. Do NOT accumulate multiple sections in memory before writing. The pattern for every single section is:\n\n1. Generate one section only\n2. Immediately write it to file with bash\n3. Verify it was written when useful (`tail`, `wc -l`, or `rg '^## '`) before moving on\n4. Only then generate the next section\n\nWrite pattern:\n```bash\ncat >> inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md << 'ENDSECTION'\n## Section Title\n\n[section content]\n\nENDSECTION\n```\n\nThis applies to EVERY section without exception. Never batch sections together.\n\n---\n\n## Extraction Workflow\n\n### Step 1 — Fetch video metadata\n\n```bash\nyt-dlp --dump-json --skip-download \"URL\"\n```\n\nExtract: title, channel, upload_date, duration, description, chapters (if any), language, caption availability, video ID, original URL.\n\n### Step 1B — Derive title slug for output filenames\n\nDerive `title_slug` from the exact video title, not from the YouTube video ID.\n\nSlug rules:\n1. Start from the exact title used in `# Analysis: <video title>`.\n2. Remove or replace filesystem-hostile characters (`/`, `\\`, `:`, `|`, `?`, `*`, quotes, angle brackets).\n3. Convert whitespace and punctuation runs to single hyphens.\n4. Preserve meaningful capitalization and acronyms.\n5. Remove leading/trailing hyphens.\n6. Keep it readable and title-matching; do not use the raw YouTube ID as the filename stem.\n\nExamples:\n- `Building Context Graphs for AI Agents - Will Lyon, Neo4j` → `Building-Context-Graphs-for-AI-Agents-Will-Lyon-Neo4j`\n- `Introducing AWS DevOps Agent | Amazon Web Services` → `Introducing-AWS-DevOps-Agent-Amazon-Web-Services`\n\nAll output files MUST use this stem:\n- `inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt`\n- `inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md`\n\nThe YouTube video ID still belongs in VIDEO METADATA, but not in the output filename.\n\n### Step 2 — Extract transcript\n\nPrefer a narrow language request first to avoid YouTube 429 fanout:\n```bash\nyt-dlp --write-auto-subs --sub-langs 'en,en-orig' --sub-format vtt --skip-download --output '/tmp/%(id)s.%(ext)s' \"URL\"\n```\n\nIf that fails or the video is non-English, inspect available subtitles from metadata and retry with the specific language code. Use `--write-subs` as fallback for manual captions:\n```bash\nyt-dlp --write-subs --sub-langs '<lang>' --sub-format vtt --skip-download --output '/tmp/%(id)s.%(ext)s' \"URL\"\n```\n\nIf no captions exist, report clearly and stop. Do not fabricate a transcript.\n\n### Step 3 — Parse, clean, save transcript\n\nClean the VTT:\n1. Strip WEBVTT header and NOTE blocks\n2. Remove timestamp lines (`HH:MM:SS.mmm --> HH:MM:SS.mmm`)\n3. Remove markup (`<c>`, `<00:00:00.000>`, HTML entities)\n4. Deduplicate consecutive identical lines and rolling-caption repeats\n5. Remove non-content bracket artifacts (`[Music]`, `[Applause]`, `[laughter]`) unless semantically important\n6. Preserve `[MM:SS]` markers every 5 minutes and at major topic changes\n\nSave:\n```bash\nmkdir -p inbox/transcripts\nprintf '%s\\n' \"$TRANSCRIPT_TEXT\" > inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt\n```\n\nCheck quality:\n```bash\nLINES=$(wc -l < inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt)\nWORDS=$(wc -w < inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt)\necho \"Lines: $LINES Words: $WORDS\"\n```\n\n- LINES <= 3000 → Standard Mode (Step 4A)\n- LINES > 3000 → Chunked Mode (Step 4B)\n\n### Step 4A — Standard Mode\n\nInitialize the output file using the title-derived stem:\n```bash\necho '# Analysis: <video title>' > inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md\n```\n\nThen generate and write each section one at a time in this exact order. After each generation, immediately bash-write it before moving to the next.\n\n## Required report structure\n\n1. `## VIDEO METADATA`\n   - Title, URL, video ID, channel, duration, upload date, language, caption type, transcript line count, transcript word count, output paths.\n\n2. `## FULL CLEANED TRANSCRIPT`\n   - Do not paste the whole transcript into the analysis unless explicitly requested.\n   - Link/pointer to `inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt`.\n   - Brief note on cleaning decisions and known transcript limitations.\n\n3. `## CHAPTER BREAKDOWN`\n   - Logical segments based on topic shifts, not arbitrary 5-minute bins.\n   - For each: time range, title, and 3-6 sentences explaining what materially happens.\n\n4. `## TOPIC MAP`\n   - Table: Topic | First mention | Time span | Depth | Why it matters.\n   - Include technical concepts, tools/services, architecture components, workflows, risks, business claims, and implementation details.\n\n5. `## KEY CLAIMS & FACTS`\n   - Exhaustive list of factual assertions, statistics, concrete claims, product capabilities, limitations, pricing, benchmark claims, configuration claims, and workflow claims.\n   - Format: `- **[MM:SS]** \"short quote or paraphrase\" — context, implication, and confidence if uncertain`.\n   - For technical videos, this section should often have dozens of bullets, not 5-10.\n\n6. `## NOTABLE QUOTES`\n   - 10-30 significant verbatim statements, depending on video length.\n   - Include technical definitions, strategic claims, caveats, and memorable phrasing.\n\n7. `## SPEAKER ANALYSIS`\n   - Identify speakers, roles if available, speaking patterns, expertise, stance, implicit assumptions, and disagreements/tensions.\n   - If speaker labels are unavailable, infer cautiously and say what is uncertain.\n\n8. `## DETAILED SECTION ANALYSIS`\n   - This is the most important section.\n   - Write dense technical prose section-by-section. No shallow summaries.\n   - Each subsection should cover a logical content block and include mechanism, evidence, examples, and implications.\n   - For contentful videos, each subsection is usually 250-900 words. Shorter is acceptable only if the source segment is genuinely thin.\n   - Use headings like `### [MM:SS – MM:SS] Section Title`.\n   - Include commands, architecture flows, tool integrations, UI actions, data dependencies, operational risks, and decision points when present.\n   - Preserve reasoning chains: problem → evidence → diagnosis → action → consequence.\n\n9. `## TECHNICAL EXTRACTION TABLES`\n   - Include the tables that fit the source. Use at least one for technical content.\n   - Possible tables:\n     - Component | Role | Inputs | Outputs | Failure modes\n     - Workflow step | Trigger | Tool/data used | Human decision | Output\n     - Claim | Evidence shown | Missing validation | Research follow-up\n     - Tool/service | Integration surface | Permissions | Operational risk\n\n10. `## SYNTHESIS`\n    - Central thesis, recurring themes, strongest evidence, weakest evidence, internal contradictions, what's missing, operational implications, and research questions.\n    - For technical/product videos, explicitly separate: what is proven, what is claimed, what remains unvalidated.\n\n11. `## SLIDE BRIEF`\n    - One entry per major topic:\n```markdown\n### [Topic Title]\n**Headline**: [≤35 chars]\n**Layout**: [content | two-column | card-grid | flow | closing]\n**Bullets**:\n- [key point, ≤12 words]\n**Data**: [exact numbers from KEY CLAIMS or empty]\n**Visual**: [Mermaid diagram type or \"none\"]\n```\n    - Aim for 6-14 entries.\n\n### Step 4B — Chunked Mode (transcript > 3000 lines)\n\nSplit into 2000-line chunks:\n```bash\nmkdir -p /tmp/transcript_chunks\nsplit -l 2000 --numeric-suffixes=1 --additional-suffix=.txt inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt /tmp/transcript_chunks/chunk_\nls /tmp/transcript_chunks/\n```\n\nInitialize the output file using the title-derived stem:\n```bash\necho '# Analysis: <video title>' > inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md\n```\n\nGenerate and write the global opening sections from chunk_01 plus transcript metadata:\n- `## VIDEO METADATA`\n- `## FULL CLEANED TRANSCRIPT`\n- `## CHAPTER BREAKDOWN`\n- `## TOPIC MAP`\n- `## SPEAKER ANALYSIS`\n\nThen for EACH chunk in order:\n\n```bash\ncat /tmp/transcript_chunks/chunk_XX.txt\n```\n\nFor each chunk, generate and immediately write to file:\n- `## KEY CLAIMS & FACTS — Part N [MM:SS – MM:SS]`\n- `## NOTABLE QUOTES — Part N`\n- `## DETAILED SECTION ANALYSIS — Part N [MM:SS – MM:SS]`\n- Any chunk-local technical extraction tables needed for clarity\n\nNever skip a chunk. Never batch multiple chunks before writing. Do not let chunk boundaries erase context: bridge the final paragraph of one chunk into the first paragraph of the next when the speaker continues the same argument.\n\nAfter ALL chunks, generate and write:\n- Consolidated `## TECHNICAL EXTRACTION TABLES`\n- `## SYNTHESIS` spanning the full video\n- `## SLIDE BRIEF` covering all parts\n\n### Step 5 — Coverage and quality audit\n\nBefore reporting done, run a quick audit:\n\n```bash\nrg '^## |^### ' inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md\nwc -w inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt\nls -lh inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>*\n```\n\nThen inspect whether the report meets the quality bar:\n- Does every major transcript segment have representation in chapter breakdown and detailed analysis?\n- Are dense technical sections actually dense, not 1-2 sentence summaries?\n- Are concrete commands/tools/services/numbers/examples preserved?\n- Are claims separated from validation gaps?\n- Are transcript path references correct after title-slug naming?\n\nIf the report is too thin, append a `## DENSITY PATCH` section before final reporting with expanded analysis for the thin segments. Prefer fixing thin sections directly if easy.\n\nReport both saved paths. Enter keep-alive waiting state.\n\n## Constraints\n\n- Write every section to file immediately after generating it — never accumulate\n- Use title-derived filenames (`<title_slug>`) for transcript and analysis outputs; never use the raw YouTube video ID as filename stem\n- Do NOT summarize or condense technical substance\n- Do NOT produce a shallow report that forces the user to watch the video anyway\n- Do NOT use any tool other than yt-dlp and bash/Python local file processing for transcript cleanup and file writes\n- Non-English transcripts: full analysis in source language + English abstract at top of DETAILED SECTION ANALYSIS\n- If yt-dlp fails, report exact error — do not fabricate\n",

Do not let chunk boundaries erase context: bridge the final paragraph of one chunk into the first paragraph of the next when the speaker continues the same argument.\n\nAfter ALL chunks, generate and write:\n- Consolidated `## TECHNICAL EXTRACTION TABLES`\n- `## SYNTHESIS` spanning the full video\n- `## SLIDE BRIEF` covering all parts\n\n### Step 5 \u2014 Coverage and quality audit\n\nBefore reporting done, run a quick audit:\n\n```bash\nrg '^## |^### ' inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md\nwc -w inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt\nls -lh inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>*\n```\n\nThen inspect whether the report meets the quality bar:\n- Does every major transcript segment have representation in chapter breakdown and detailed analysis?\n- Are dense technical sections actually dense, not 1-2 sentence summaries?\n- Are concrete commands/tools/services/numbers/examples preserved?\n- Are claims separated from validation gaps?\n- Are transcript path references correct after title-slug naming?\n\nIf the report is too thin, append a `## DENSITY PATCH` section before final reporting with expanded analysis for the thin segments. Prefer fixing thin sections directly if easy.\n\nReport both saved paths. Enter keep-alive waiting state.\n\n## Constraints\n\n- Write every section to file immediately after generating it \u2014 never accumulate\n- Use title-derived filenames (`<title_slug>`) for transcript and analysis outputs; never use the raw YouTube video ID as filename stem\n- Do NOT summarize or condense technical substance\n- Do NOT produce a shallow report that forces the user to watch the video anyway\n- Do NOT use any tool other than yt-dlp and bash/Python local file processing for transcript cleanup and file writes\n- Non-English transcripts: full analysis in source language + English abstract at top of DETAILED SECTION ANALYSIS\n- If yt-dlp fails, report exact error \u2014 do not fabricate\n",
       "task_template": "Extract and deeply analyze the following YouTube video:\n\n$prompt\n\nWorkflow:\n1. Fetch metadata with `yt-dlp --dump-json`.\n2. Derive a readable `title_slug` from the exact video title. Output filenames must be `inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.<lang>.txt` and `inbox/transcripts/<title_slug>.analysis.md`.\n3. Extract captions with yt-dlp. Prefer narrow language requests (`en,en-orig` or the source language) before broad `all` to avoid YouTube 429 fanout.\n4. Clean VTT aggressively enough for readable prose: strip timestamp/markup artifacts, collapse rolling-caption duplicate fragments, preserve 5-minute/topic markers, and save the transcript.\n5. Produce a dense technical report, writing each section immediately to file before generating the next:\n   - VIDEO METADATA\n   - FULL CLEANED TRANSCRIPT (path pointer + cleaning notes)\n   - CHAPTER BREAKDOWN\n   - TOPIC MAP\n   - KEY CLAIMS & FACTS\n   - NOTABLE QUOTES\n   - SPEAKER ANALYSIS\n   - DETAILED SECTION ANALYSIS (the core section; dense technical prose, usually 250-900 words per contentful subsection)\n   - TECHNICAL EXTRACTION TABLES\n   - SYNTHESIS\n   - SLIDE BRIEF\n6. Run the coverage/quality audit. If any contentful segment is represented by only a shallow paragraph, expand it before reporting done.\n7. Verify files exist, report saved paths, enter keep-alive.\n\nCRITICAL: The report must be documentation-grade. Do not produce 2-line summaries per 5 minutes of transcript. Preserve mechanisms, workflows, examples, numbers, caveats, failure modes, and research gaps.\n",
