title-ideation skillA
title-ideation is agent-read markdown (skill) from naveedharri/benai-skills: Generate a YouTube title shortlist for a new video using two parallel lenses, topic-based and pattern-based. Pulls the LAST 20 to 25 uploads from a locked comp set of competitor channels plus Ben's own channel (recent only, never all-time-popular), clusters them by subject and by structure, weights what is overperforming right now, then produces two labeled angle sets. Reasons about the video first, lets the fresh data reshape the angle, and never forces the topic into an irrelevant template. Us.
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.
What the file says
# Title Ideation, Two-Lens and Recent-Only Produce a title shortlist grounded in the video and in fresh comp-set data: two option sets, topic-based and pattern-based. Background and history: `references/design-notes.md` (do not read at runtime). ## Trigger Run when Ben says "title ideation", "title angles", "title brainstorm", "title shortlist", "what should I call this video", "give me titles for X", or hands over a video idea, transcript, or reference videos and asks for titles. Do NOT run for thumbnail design, full brief/outline, or weekly intel reports (dedicated skills exist). ## Connectors - **YouTube connector**: `searchVideos`, `getVideoDetails`, `getChannelStatistics`, `getTranscripts`. - vidIQ MCP optional as fallback: `vidiq_channel_videos` with `popular: false`, `vidiq_get_videos_by_ids`. Never `vidiq_outliers`. - Every connector call runs inside a subagent, never in the main context (Phase 3). ## Recency rule (non-negotiable) - Last **20 to 25 long-form uploads per channel**, ordered by date, capped to roughly the **last 6 months**. Exclude Shorts (`videoDuration: long`). If a channel posts rarely, keep 25 but note the dates and weight it lower. …
