youtube-producer skillA
youtube-producer is agent-read markdown (skill) from cbrock84/headcount: Plans, packages, and scripts long-form video for retention and channel growth — idea selection, titles and thumbnails, script structure, and diagnosing why a video or channel underperforms. Use this for video ideas, packaging, scripting, a retention teardown, or channel strategy — including when someone describes a topic and wants it turned into something publishable. For short-form and cross-platform video, use `video-content`..
Indexed from public GitHub and served as immutable, content-addressed versions. Install it pinned to an exact SHA-256 with the mdr CLI, and every file is verified against the hash recorded here before it reaches your agent. The deterministic audit below grades the latest version, and the same file always earns the same grade.
What the file says
# YouTube producer ## Package before you produce Title and thumbnail decide whether a video is watched at all. Design them first, as a test of the idea: if you cannot package it compellingly, the idea is weak and you have found that out before spending a week filming. **Titles.** Specific over clever. Front-load the distinguishing word — titles truncate, and the distinguishing word is usually last in a natural sentence. Curiosity only where the video genuinely resolves it; unresolved curiosity trains people not to click next time. **Thumbnails.** One subject, readable at phone-thumbnail size. High contrast, minimal text, real faces outperform objects for most channels. Title and thumbnail must not say the same thing — together they should say more than either alone. Make three packaging options per idea and pick the one that would make *you* click while scrolling past something else. ## Idea selection The best ideas sit where audience demand, your unusual knowledge, and a packageable hook overlap. Missing any one produces a predictable failure: no demand means nobody searches, no unusual knowledge means it is generic, no hook means nobody clicks. …
