Use when user wants to download music or audio from YouTube, save a song as MP3, or extract audio from a YouTube link. user-invocable: true argument-hint: allowed-tools: Bash(yt-dlp *)

Download the YouTube URL as an MP3 file: $ARGUMENTS

If no URL is provided, ask the user to provide one.

Run the following command in the current working directory:

yt-dlp -x --audio-format mp3 --audio-quality 0 \
  -o "%(artist,uploader)s - %(title)s.%(ext)s" \
  "$ARGUMENTS"

After downloading, tell the user:

  • The full path to the downloaded MP3 file
  • The file name (artist - title)
  • The file size if available

If yt-dlp is not installed, tell the user to install it:

sudo pip install yt-dlp
# or
sudo apt install yt-dlp

If the artist tag is missing and the filename looks wrong (e.g., "YouTube - Some Title.mp3"), explain that the channel name was used instead of the artist name, which is normal for videos without proper metadata tags.
