💡 Summary

A master skill that detects a URL's content type (YouTube, article, PDF), extracts its text, and automatically generates a structured 'Ship-Learn-Next' action plan.

🎯 Target Audience

Self-learners seeking structured learning pathsContent creators repurposing media into projectsProduct managers turning research into action itemsStudents summarizing materials for study plansDevelopers automating workflow from tutorials

🤖 AI Roast:This skill is a Swiss Army knife that's great until you realize it's mostly just calling other, sharper knives.

Security AnalysisLow Risk

The skill executes shell commands, downloads files from user-provided URLs, and may auto-install packages. This risks arbitrary command execution if the URL input is maliciously crafted (e.g., via shell injection in filename). Mitigation: Strictly sanitize the URL input, avoid using it directly in command substitution, and run in a sandboxed environment.


name: tapestry description: Unified content extraction and action planning. Use when user says "tapestry ", "weave ", "help me plan ", "extract and plan ", "make this actionable ", or similar phrases indicating they want to extract content and create an action plan. Automatically detects content type (YouTube video, article, PDF) and processes accordingly. allowed-tools: Bash,Read,Write

Tapestry: Unified Content Extraction + Action Planning

This is the master skill that orchestrates the entire Tapestry workflow:

  1. Detect content type from URL
  2. Extract content using appropriate skill
  3. Automatically create a Ship-Learn-Next action plan

When to Use This Skill

Activate when the user:

  • Says "tapestry [URL]"
  • Says "weave [URL]"
  • Says "help me plan [URL]"
  • Says "extract and plan [URL]"
  • Says "make this actionable [URL]"
  • Says "turn [URL] into a plan"
  • Provides a URL and asks to "learn and implement from this"
  • Wants the full Tapestry workflow (extract → plan)

Keywords to watch for: tapestry, weave, plan, actionable, extract and plan, make a plan, turn into action

How It Works

Complete Workflow:

  1. Detect URL type (YouTube, article, PDF)
  2. Extract content using appropriate skill:
    • YouTube → youtube-transcript skill
    • Article → article-extractor skill
    • PDF → download and extract text
  3. Create action plan using ship-learn-next skill
  4. Save both content file and plan file
  5. Present summary to user

URL Detection Logic

YouTube Videos

Patterns to detect:

  • youtube.com/watch?v=
  • youtu.be/
  • youtube.com/shorts/
  • m.youtube.com/watch?v=

Action: Use youtube-transcript skill

Web Articles/Blog Posts

Patterns to detect:

  • http:// or https://
  • NOT YouTube, NOT PDF
  • Common domains: medium.com, substack.com, dev.to, etc.
  • Any HTML page

Action: Use article-extractor skill

PDF Documents

Patterns to detect:

  • URL ends with .pdf
  • URL returns Content-Type: application/pdf

Action: Download and extract text

Other Content

Fallback:

  • Try article-extractor (works for most HTML)
  • If fails, inform user of unsupported type

Step-by-Step Workflow

Step 1: Detect Content Type

URL="$1" # Check for YouTube if [[ "$URL" =~ youtube\.com/watch || "$URL" =~ youtu\.be/ || "$URL" =~ youtube\.com/shorts ]]; then CONTENT_TYPE="youtube" # Check for PDF elif [[ "$URL" =~ \.pdf$ ]]; then CONTENT_TYPE="pdf" # Check if URL returns PDF elif curl -sI "$URL" | grep -i "Content-Type: application/pdf" > /dev/null; then CONTENT_TYPE="pdf" # Default to article else CONTENT_TYPE="article" fi echo "📍 Detected: $CONTENT_TYPE"

Step 2: Extract Content (by Type)

YouTube Video

# Use youtube-transcript skill workflow echo "📺 Extracting YouTube transcript..." # 1. Check for yt-dlp if ! command -v yt-dlp &> /dev/null; then echo "Installing yt-dlp..." brew install yt-dlp fi # 2. Get video title VIDEO_TITLE=$(yt-dlp --print "%(title)s" "$URL" | tr '/' '_' | tr ':' '-' | tr '?' '' | tr '"' '') # 3. Download transcript yt-dlp --write-auto-sub --skip-download --sub-langs en --output "temp_transcript" "$URL" # 4. Convert to clean text (deduplicate) python3 -c " import sys, re seen = set() vtt_file = 'temp_transcript.en.vtt' try: with open(vtt_file, 'r') as f: for line in f: line = line.strip() if line and not line.startswith('WEBVTT') and not line.startswith('Kind:') and not line.startswith('Language:') and '-->' not in line: clean = re.sub('<[^>]*>', '', line) clean = clean.replace('&amp;', '&').replace('&gt;', '>').replace('&lt;', '<') if clean and clean not in seen: print(clean) seen.add(clean) except FileNotFoundError: print('Error: Could not find transcript file', file=sys.stderr) sys.exit(1) " > "${VIDEO_TITLE}.txt" # 5. Cleanup rm -f temp_transcript.en.vtt CONTENT_FILE="${VIDEO_TITLE}.txt" echo "✓ Saved transcript: $CONTENT_FILE"

Article/Blog Post

# Use article-extractor skill workflow echo "📄 Extracting article content..." # 1. Check for extraction tools if command -v reader &> /dev/null; then TOOL="reader" elif command -v trafilatura &> /dev/null; then TOOL="trafilatura" else TOOL="fallback" fi echo "Using: $TOOL" # 2. Extract based on tool case $TOOL in reader) reader "$URL" > temp_article.txt ARTICLE_TITLE=$(head -n 1 temp_article.txt | sed 's/^# //') ;; trafilatura) METADATA=$(trafilatura --URL "$URL" --json) ARTICLE_TITLE=$(echo "$METADATA" | python3 -c "import json, sys; print(json.load(sys.stdin).get('title', 'Article'))") trafilatura --URL "$URL" --output-format txt --no-comments > temp_article.txt ;; fallback) ARTICLE_TITLE=$(curl -s "$URL" | grep -oP '<title>\K[^<]+' | head -n 1) ARTICLE_TITLE=${ARTICLE_TITLE%% - *} curl -s "$URL" | python3 -c " from html.parser import HTMLParser import sys class ArticleExtractor(HTMLParser): def __init__(self): super().__init__() self.content = [] self.skip_tags = {'script', 'style', 'nav', 'header', 'footer', 'aside', 'form'} self.in_content = False def handle_starttag(self, tag, attrs): if tag not in self.skip_tags and tag in {'p', 'article', 'main'}: self.in_content = True def handle_data(self, data): if self.in_content and data.strip(): self.content.append(data.strip()) def get_content(self): return '\n\n'.join(self.content) parser = ArticleExtractor() parser.feed(sys.stdin.read()) print(parser.get_content()) " > temp_article.txt ;; esac # 3. Clean filename FILENAME=$(echo "$ARTICLE_TITLE" | tr '/' '-' | tr ':' '-' | tr '?' '' | tr '"' '' | cut -c 1-80 | sed 's/ *$//') CONTENT_FILE="${FILENAME}.txt" mv temp_article.txt "$CONTENT_FILE" echo "✓ Saved article: $CONTENT_FILE"

PDF Document

# Download and extract PDF echo "📑 Downloading PDF..." # 1. Download PDF PDF_FILENAME=$(basename "$URL") curl -L -o "$PDF_FILENAME" "$URL" # 2. Extract text using pdftotext (if available) if command -v pdftotext &> /dev/null; then pdftotext "$PDF_FILENAME" temp_pdf.txt CONTENT_FILE="${PDF_FILENAME%.pdf}.txt" mv temp_pdf.txt "$CONTENT_FILE" echo "✓ Extracted text from PDF: $CONTENT_FILE" # Optionally keep PDF echo "Keep original PDF? (y/n)" read -r KEEP_PDF if [[ ! "$KEEP_PDF" =~ ^[Yy]$ ]]; then rm "$PDF_FILENAME" fi else # No pdftotext available echo "⚠️ pdftotext not found. PDF downloaded but not extracted." echo " Install with: brew install poppler" CONTENT_FILE="$PDF_FILENAME" fi

Step 3: Create Ship-Learn-Next Action Plan

IMPORTANT: Always create an action plan after extracting content.

# Read the extracted content CONTENT_FILE="[from previous step]" # Invoke ship-learn-next skill logic: # 1. Read the content file # 2. Extract core actionable lessons # 3. Create 5-rep progression plan # 4. Save as: Ship-Learn-Next Plan - [Quest Title].md # See ship-learn-next/SKILL.md for full details

Key points for plan creation:

  • Extract actionable lessons (not just summaries)
  • Define a specific 4-8 week quest
  • Create Rep 1 (shippable this week)
  • Design Reps 2-5 (progressive iterations)
  • Save plan to markdown file
  • Use format: Ship-Learn-Next Plan - [Brief Quest Title].md

Error Handling

Common Issues:

1. Unsupported URL type

  • Try article extraction as fallback
  • If fails: "Could not extract content from this URL type"

2. No content extracted

  • Check if URL is accessible
  • Try alternate extraction method
  • Inform user: "Extraction failed. URL may require authentication."

3. Tools not installed

  • Auto-install when possible (yt-dlp, reader, trafilatura)
  • Provide install instructions if auto-install fails
  • Use fallback methods when available

4. Empty or invalid content

  • Verify file has content before creating plan
  • Don't create plan if extraction failed
  • Show pre
