Permission Setup Review

python scripts/_perms_marker.py is an optional setup helper for the YouTube Summary skill. It may apply broad filesystem permissions for compatibility. Show the target paths and permission mode, explain the risk, and prefer a narrower mode when shared write access is not needed.

YouTube Summary

Automatically get subtitles from any public YouTube video and generate a clean, structured summary with key points. Saves hours of watching long videos when you just need the main ideas.
