Podcast Research

Research podcasts, episodes, and audio content by searching YouTube (where most podcasts crosspost), web sources, and transcript databases. Discover relevant shows, track guest appearances, and analyze topic coverage in the podcast ecosystem. Read the API map before selecting a capability.

Call SandBase capabilities

For every selected tool, call sandbase_describe_tool first and use only arguments in its current input schema. Then call sandbase_call_tool with the exact tool_name.

Available Tools

  • youtube_web_v2_general_search
  • youtube_web_v2_video_captions
  • exa_search
  • tavily_search

Workflow

  • Understand the user's research question, target, and context.
  • Call sandbase_describe_tool for each selected tool to confirm parameter schema.
  • Call sandbase_call_tool with the exact tool_name and schema-defined arguments.
  • Synthesize findings into a clear, evidence-backed answer.
  • Cite sources, note evidence gaps, and separate observations from interpretations.

Guidelines

  • Always call sandbase_describe_tool before using any capability.
  • Cite sources and preserve attribution (URLs, usernames, dates, metrics).
  • Separate factual observations from analysis and recommendations.
  • If data is unavailable, note the gap and continue with available evidence.
  • Read-only research only. Never take actions on platforms.

How to use it

Copy the folder

Take sandbaseai/podcast-research from the repository into ~/.claude/skills for personal use, or into .claude/skills inside a project.

Check the name does not clash

The agent identifies a skill by the name field in its header. Two skills with the same name cannot sit side by side — one of them will be ignored.
