Openfelix youtube-info

Extract description and captions/transcript from a YouTube video without opening the browser. Use when the user asks what a video is about, wants a summary, or asks about video content. Accepts a YouTube URL (use the URL returned by youtube-search if available) or a plain search query. Never call youtube-search before this — it opens the browser unnecessarily.
