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…
Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.
What the file says
# YouTube Studio Setup Stage 1. Ends with the video saved at **Unlisted**, which is what unlocks everything downstream. Owns Studio only. Does not touch links, chapters, tags, or the description. ## Why this runs first Found on 2026-08-25. A video sitting as a Studio draft has no caption track, so there is no transcript, so `youtube-chapters-tags` has nothing to read. YouTube generates captions only after the video is saved at a real visibility and its checks finish. The old chain put chapters first and deadlocked on this. 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 …

How to install
mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/youtube-studio-setup@sha256:f6864f3df7f1cc8dThe line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260916.a3b1e15, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
