Youtube Render Pdf

Turns YouTube lectures into proper LaTeX course notes with a compiled PDF. You feed it a URL, it grabs the highest resolution video it can actually download, pulls subtitles, extracts the cover image and key frames, then writes structured Chinese teaching notes organized by pedagogical flow rather than subtitle order. For long videos it splits the work across parallel agents and integrates the output. The prompts emphasize deep explanations with motivation before formalism, figures everywhere they help, and a synthesis chapter at the end. It explicitly tells Claude to avoid vague phrasing and the overused "不是……而是……" contrast pattern. Useful if you're studying technical content in Chinese and want reference material that reads like a patient teacher wrote it, not like someone transcribed a video.

YouTube Render PDF

Use this skill to turn a YouTube video into a complete, compileable .tex note and a rendered PDF.

Goal

Produce a professional Chinese lecture note from a YouTube URL.

The output must:

use the video's actual teaching content rather than subtitle transcription alone
place the video's original cover image on the front page of the .tex and rendered PDF whenever available
include all necessary high-value key frames as figures, without adding redundant screenshots
end with a final synthesis section that includes the speaker's substantive closing discussion and your own distilled takeaways
be structurally organized with \section{...} and \subsection{...}
be a complete .tex document from \documentclass to \end{document}
be compiled successfully to PDF as part of the final delivery
