Reading the Reader

A YouTube playlist of tarot card-meaning videos, pulled into a searchable transcript corpus, then mined for the repeatable moves the teacher uses every time.

What is this page? ๐Ÿ”ฎ

A lady named Kate makes videos that explain what each tarot card means. We took 8 of her videos and turned all her talking into words you can read and search.

  • ๐Ÿ“ผ A computer listened to every video and wrote down every word.
  • ๐Ÿ” Then it looked for things she does in every single video, like telling a little story or naming a picture on the card.
  • ๐Ÿ› ๏ธ When it found a move she does a lot, it built a little helper tool that can spot that same move in any new video.

So now, instead of watching for hours, you can read it fast and the computer remembers her tricks. ๐ŸŽ‰

๐Ÿšซ The ninth video, Three of Pentacles (9r-gFvBYbxc), is held out as final at 8/9. YouTube IP-throttled its caption endpoint and the block did not clear across three retry passes over roughly 75 minutes: youtube-transcript-api returned IpBlocked and yt-dlp captions returned HTTP 429 on all four player clients (web_safari, tv_embedded, android, mweb). The other eight stand as the corpus.

The recurring workflows

Across the eight transcripts the pipeline counted how often each analytical move shows up. A move present in two or more videos becomes a registered workflow. Four map onto tools the Community OS already had. One had no home, so it became a new tool.

The tool that got built

emotional_turn.py

Kate pivots a card's meaning on an emotional beat in 7 of 8 videos, and no existing OS tool watched for it. The pipeline generated emotional_turn.py into community-agentic-os/tools/_generated/ and registered it. The tool scans an episode's evidence for emotional-turn signal words and cites the exact line of every hit, so it is gate-clean by construction: it cannot make an uncited claim.

Transcribe-not-summarize rule honored: the verbatim .txt is the primary deliverable. Summaries run only because they feed a named downstream stage (workflow extraction), where structured JSON beats raw captions.
