Raycast Fabric YouTube Analysis

!! This is a proof of concept and will be changing frequently. Please fork it.

A Raycast extension that leverages Fabric AI to analyze YouTube videos, providing transcripts, summaries, and various analysis patterns.

Overview

This tool integrates Raycast with Fabric AI to provide intelligent analysis of YouTube videos. It can:

• Extract and cache video transcripts
• Apply various AI analysis patterns
• Work with current browser tabs or direct URLs
• Cache results for improved performance

Prerequisites

• Go
• Fabric
• Raycast
• macOS (for browser integration)

Installation

1. Install Go from https://go.dev/doc/install
2. Install Fabric:

go install github.com/danielmiessler/fabric@latest

3. Copy the script files to your Raycast Scripts directory
4. Make them executable:

chmod +x path/to/youtube-transcript-analysis.sh
chmod +x path/to/update-youtube-fabric-patterns.sh

Features

Main Script (youtube-transcript-analysis.sh)

• Fetches YouTube video transcripts
• Applies AI analysis patterns
• Caches results (30 days for transcripts, 7 days for patterns)
• Supports multiple browsers
• Validates YouTube URLs
• Copies results to clipboard

Pattern Updater (update-youtube-fabric-patterns.sh)

• Updates available analysis patterns
• Maintains pattern configurations
• Auto-formats pattern names for display

Usage

1. Make sure Fabric has a default model set fabric -d
2. Make sure you can retrive a YouTube video transcript and analyze it with Fabric fabric -y https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wPEyyigh10g | fabric -p extract_wisdom
3. Open Raycast
4. Run "Update YouTube Raycast Patterns"
5. Run "Reload Script Directories"
6. Type "YouTube Analysis"
7. Choose an analysis pattern (optional)
8. Enter a URL or use current browser tab
9. Results will be copied to clipboard

Cache Locations

• Transcripts: ~/.cache/raycast/youtube/transcripts
• Pattern Results: ~/.cache/raycast/youtube/patterns
• Fabric Patterns: ~/.config/fabric/patterns

Error Handling

The scripts handle various error cases:

• Invalid URLs
• Private/unavailable videos
• Timeouts (15s for both transcript and pattern processing)
• Rate limiting
• Missing dependencies

Troubleshooting

• Ensure Go is installed and in PATH
• Verify Fabric installation: which fabric
• Check browser permissions in System Settings
• Review debug output if needed

Note

This project requires Fabric AI access and proper configuration of the Fabric patterns directory at ~/.config/fabric/patterns
