Project overview
youtube-summary uses `yt-dlp` to collect a YouTube transcript, metadata, and chapters, then writes a structured note with a TL;DR, takeaways, links, and open questions. For slide-heavy videos, an opt-in mode downloads the video, detects distinct slides with `ffmpeg`, reads their text and visuals, and embeds key images beside the prose. Notes can print in chat or save to an Obsidian vault.
