youtube-studio-setup skillA
youtube-studio-setup is agent-read markdown (skill) from naveedharri/benai-skills: Stage 1 of the Ben AI publishing chain. Takes a freshly uploaded video from Studio draft to a saved Unlisted video: puts the title and both thumbnails in place, arms the title-and-thumbnail A/B test, then walks the whole Studio wizard (monetization on with mid-rolls, ad suitability rated, end screen set, checks read, visibility Unlisted). Runs FIRST, before chapters, because a draft has no caption track and Unlisted is the only state where YouTube generates one. Use when someone says "set up the.
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.

Walk the wizard first. ## Before you start - The video must already be uploaded. If it is not, say so and stop; uploading is a person's job and takes two or three minutes. - Confirm the video is Ben's: the watch-page fetch returns `author` and `channelId`, which must be `Ben AI` and `UC3KK7ENB_ierAXvrxVNnbZQ`. Refuse a video that reports public with a view count, because that is not a pre-publish draft. - Load the browser tools per `references/studio-chrome.md`. Studio list pages do not render in the sandbox and YouTube is IP-blocked from it, so all of this runs in Chrome. ## Steps ``` Task Progress: - [ ] 1. Title and thumbnails in place …
