Produce YouTube-ready video packaging: a branded thumbnail, an animated opening title, background music via ElevenLabs Music, and the upload metadata bundle. Use whenever you make or publish a video (deep dives, demos, blog companions) or want thumbnails, intros, video music, or channel and playlist consistency.

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 kit

Package videos like a channel, not a screen recording. The template fuses two reference styles: cinematic stills with minimal text (the Anthropic channel) and dark IDE screenshots with huge boxed text, one accent word, readable at 320px (AI-coding channels). It uses the dark lane-art language from the `social-media-kit` skill.

## Configuration

Scripts read environment variables, so nothing personal is hardcoded.

| Setting | Env var | Default |
|---|---|---|
| Signature text (bottom-left) | `BRAND_URL` | `yourblog.example` |
| Avatar PNG with a white background (optional) | `AVATAR_PATH` | unset (no avatar drawn) |
| Accent word color | `ACCENT` | `D97757` (terracotta, configurable) |
| Fonts | `HEADLINE_FONT`, `MONO_FONT` | macOS Helvetica Neue and Menlo, DejaVu on Linux |
| Opening eyebrow and chip text | `OPEN_EYEBROW`, `OPEN_CHIP` | example strings |
| ElevenLabs key | `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` | none, required for music |

Your channel ID, handle and avatar belong in your own config.

## Requirements

- Python 3 with Pillow
- ffmpeg
- `ELEVENLABS_API_KEY` for music generation

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint

mdr add huytieu/cog-second-brain/youtube-video-kit@sha256:8ceb225f7e16362a

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261023.65f43f1, 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.
