I had a fun little experiment over the weekend. I needed to understand a codebase quickly, so I started interrogating it using Cursor. Around the same time, I discovered cursor commands and realized: "I need this capability often, let's formalize it." But it morphed into something bigger.
I did a thing. A very silly, very meta thing. I vibe-coded a CLI tool that summarizes YouTube videos, recorded myself making the tool, and then used the tool to summarize the video of me making the tool. And now, dear reader, you are reading a blog post that was largely generated from that summary.
But the real star of the show isn't the tool, or the video, it's the Recipe Pattern – a way to encapsulate repetitive coding work into a one-off, reusable doc.
