YouTube Human Tutorial

Workflow

  1. Ensure extraction artifacts exist. If needed, run uv run python extract.py "<source>".
  2. Distill with uv run python distill.py <title-dir> human_tutorial.
  3. Prioritize making the output conversational, clear, and actionable for a human reader.
  4. Preserve exact commands, file paths, and code snippets from the transcript or OCR.
  5. Translate visual actions (like navigating a UI) into clear text instructions.

Output Contract

Produce a step-by-step tutorial with:

  • Introduction: what the tutorial covers and what will be achieved.
  • Prerequisites: tools, software, accounts, and assumed knowledge.
  • Core Concepts: brief explanations of the main ideas.
  • Step-by-Step Instructions: numbered steps with goals, actions, code/commands, and explanations.
  • Tips and Gotchas: common pitfalls and alternative approaches.
  • Conclusion: wrap-up and next steps.
  • Open Questions: anything glossed over that the reader must figure out ("None identified" if complete).

Quality Rules

  • Write in a conversational, encouraging, and clear tone.
  • Address the reader directly (e.g., "First, you'll need to...").
  • Ensure all essential code snippets and commands are captured accurately.
  • Every technical claim, code block, or major step needs a citation: seg#NNN, frame_NNN_t-MM-SS, cluster_id=cN, or t=MM:SS.
  • Remove filler words and repetitive phrasing, but preserve the speaker's insights and warnings.
