The growth engine for YouTube long-form video in 2026. Use when someone asks to "grow my YouTube channel," "get more views on my videos," "plan/script a YouTube video," "improve my CTR or retention," "why did my video flop," or wants a long-form strategy.

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-long-form The growth engine for **YouTube long-form** — the **opposite engine from Shorts**. No swipe feed to win; instead a **packaging gate** (the click) and a **retention gate** (do they stay, and watch more). It's **decoupled** from Shorts, though the Short→long click-through is now tracked. (Sibling: **youtube-shorts** — don't run them as one plan.) ## Read these first 1. **brand-profile** — niche, positioning, non-negotiables. 2. **voice-builder** — so the script and packaging sound like the channel (not generic narration). ## The two-metric gate + the dominant signal - **CTR gets the click; AVD keeps it.** High CTR + low AVD = misleading packaging → demoted; low CTR + high AVD = good content, **fix packaging first**. - **Session contribution is the dominant 2026 signal** (it replaced absolute watch time). Videos that **extend the session** get amplified in Suggested; videos that **end sessions** get buried. Build each upload as a link in a chain. (Full mechanics: `references/longform-algorithm-2026.md`.) ## The framework: CHAIN (Depth: `references/the-chain-framework.md`.) …

How to install
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/youtube-long-form@sha256:1e7e8e8207434fb0The line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
