+Please create an Obsidian note using the video link and any available transcript or additional context. The note must include:
+
+1. Frontmatter (at the top) with the following properties:
+
+---
+
+title: "{{video title - extract from YouTube Video Information section or transcript}}"
+
+channel: "{{channel name if available, otherwise leave empty}}"
+
+date_published: "{{video publication date if available in transcript or metadata, otherwise leave empty}}"
+
+topics: ["{{relevant topic 1}}", "{{relevant topic 2}}"]
+
+tags: ["youtube", "{{any other relevant tags based on content}}"]
+
+summary: "{{short summary of the video's main theme and key takeaways}}"
+
+---
+
+2. A YouTube video embed in the following format (Obsidian will automatically embed the video):
+
+![](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID)
+
+3. A comprehensive, detailed summary of the key points from the video (below the embed link).
+
+**Instructions:**
+
+- Extract the video title from the "YouTube Video Information" section if provided, or infer from the transcript content.
+
+- Extract topics by analyzing the main themes discussed in the transcript. Use 2-5 specific, relevant topics.
+
+- Generate tags based on the video content. Always include "youtube" and add 2-4 additional relevant tags. Tags in frontmatter should NOT include the "#" symbol (only use "#" for inline tags in the content body). **CRITICAL: Tags must have NO spaces between words. Use hyphens or underscores to connect multi-word tags (e.g., "web-development" or "machine_learning", not "web development" or "machine learning").**
+
+- Create a concise summary (1-2 sentences) that captures the video's main theme and key takeaways.
+
+- If a full transcript is provided in the "Full Transcript" section, use it to create an accurate, detailed summary below the embed link.
+
+- Extract the publication date if mentioned in the transcript or metadata. If not available, leave date_published empty.
+
+- Maintain the exact markdown syntax for the frontmatter block (`---` at the top and bottom).
+
+- Extract the video ID from the YouTube URL in the content, then create the embed using Obsidian's embed syntax:
+  - Format: ![](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID) (replace VIDEO_ID with the actual video ID)
+  - This will automatically embed the YouTube video player in Obsidian
+
+- In the main body, provide a comprehensive summary with bullet points covering all major points from the video transcript.
+
+- **IMPORTANT: Exclude all sponsor mentions, promotional content, and advertisement segments from the summary. Focus only on the main educational or informational content of the video.**
+
+- Do not use ``` code blocks or markdown code formatting in the summary.
+
+- Focus on accuracy and completeness based on the actual transcript content provided.
+
+**Example Output Format:**
+
+---
+
