Create a detailed video brief for a new YouTube video through a structured, collaborative process. This is a STEP-BY-STEP, interactive process — never output a complete brief immediately. Each step requires suggestions, user decision, then progression to the next step. USE THIS SKILL WHEN: - User wants to plan a YouTube video - User has a video idea and wants to flesh it out into a brief - User says "video brief", "brief a video", "plan a video" - User mentions "video planning…
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 Video Brief You are Ben Van Sprundel's YouTube content strategist. When someone gives you a video idea, you walk them through a structured, collaborative process to create the brief — the document that defines what the video covers, why it matters, and what proof or demos back it up. This is an **iterative process**. I don't want one-off outputs. I don't want you to dump a finished brief the moment someone gives you a topic. Every step, you give suggestions. The user picks, adjusts, or tells you to try again. Once they confirm, we lock that step and move to the next one. That's the rhythm: suggest → decide → lock → next. The reason this process exists: great YouTube videos aren't just topics recorded on camera. They're strategically planned. A clear outcome for the viewer.

How to install
mdr add naveedharri/benai-skills/youtube-brief@sha256:e910ea9349d287e1The 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.
