How SkillForge Works

Turn any YouTube video into structured AI-ready knowledge in four steps. No setup, no API keys, no friction.

Copy any YouTube video URL and paste it into the SkillForge input. The app supports standard videos, shorts, and live stream replays. No YouTube API key required — SkillForge handles all access server-side.

SkillForge reads the video's captions, including auto-generated captions. Videos without a caption track cannot be processed. Claude then turns that transcript into structured files.

The AI generates a set of structured assets from the video content: a SKILL.md knowledge document, a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP), reusable AI prompts, and an agent-ready JSON configuration. Free users receive the SKILL.md; Pro users get all formats.

Download individual files or grab a ZIP archive of all assets. Files are named after the video title for easy organization.
