SumScript (Obsidian Plugin)

SumScript is a transcript-first YouTube research plugin for Obsidian.

For one YouTube URL at a time, it:

• captures source metadata
• attempts transcript extraction with explicit status
• generates adaptive key takeaways
• generates fallback summary only when transcript is unavailable
• computes related-note suggestions from a local embedding index
• supports review actions: accept, reject, postpone

Commands

• Analyze YouTube Link (SumScript)
• Review Related Note Suggestions (SumScript)
• Reset SumScript Local Index
