Skill onfire7777/universal-ai-skills-library/skills/onefilellm
Use when aggregating local files, directories, GitHub repositories/issues/PRs, documentation pages, PDFs, arXiv/DOI/PMID sources, YouTube transcripts, stdin, or clipboard text into a single LLM-ready XML context file using the locally installed jimmc414/onefilellm CLI. Use for context packaging, source bundling, repo-to-text conversion, and multi-source research ingestion.From its SKILL.md

README-Grounded Usage
The upstream README defines OneFileLLM as a command-line tool and Python API for aggregating local files, GitHub repos, web pages, PDFs, YouTube transcripts, arXiv/DOI/PMID sources, stdin, and clipboard content into a single structured XML output.

Safety And Quality Rules
- Prefer local files/directories when possible.
- Treat network sources as active fetches. Only run against trusted URLs or explicit user-provided URLs.
- Do not pass secrets, private tokens, or sensitive local directories unless the user explicitly asks and the scope is clear.
- Use
GITHUB_TOKENonly when private GitHub access or higher rate limits are required. - Use
OFFLINE_MODE=1for local-only dry runs or when network fetches should be blocked. - For YouTube-only transcript work, prefer the
youtube-transcript-englishskill because it enforces English output more strictly than OneFileLLM's built-in transcript fallback.
