Learn how the channel titles its clips + +With the youtube-ctx skill, list the channel's recent uploads (`channel-videos`) and read the titles of its clips and Shorts: their length, voice, and patterns (a claim, a question, a credential such as "Ex-OpenAI Leader"). Match them; this channel's audience already knows that voice. + +Done when: you can name two or three title patterns the channel uses, each with an example. + +## 2. Write publish.json + +One entry per short, in the user's posting order. + +```json +{ + "episodeUrl": "https://youtu.be/dD1zZE15irQ", + "shorts": [ + { + "id": "S1", + "title": "Ex-OpenAI Leader: AI Agents Are Like the Minions", + "description": "Agents eager to hit a goal can go too far.

It must promise only what the clip delivers. A claim the speaker hedged stays hedged, or becomes a question. +- **Description**: the first line pays off the title. `{episode}` becomes the full episode link and `{moment}` the link to where this clip starts. Name the speaker. Hashtags go on their own line at the end, so leave them out of the body. +- **Hashtags**: 3 to 5. YouTube shows up to three above the title and ignores every hashtag when there are more than 60. +- **coverSec**: a second where the hook text and a face are both on screen. The kit saves that frame for review. In YouTube the cover is chosen in the upload flow. +- **publishAt**: spread the shorts out, one a day unless the user says otherwise, at the channel's usual posting time. Include a time zone. +- **relatedVideo** defaults to the episode. **pinnedComment** points back to it too. + +Done when: every rendered short has an entry, and every title and first description line can be checked against what is said in that clip. + +## 3. Run the kit and fix every issue + +```bash +node /scripts/publish.mjs kit --project +``` + +It fails on anything YouTube would reject: + +- a title over 100 characters +- a description over 5,000 bytes +- `<` or `>` in the title or description +- malformed hashtags +- tags over 500 characters in total (commas count, and so do the quotes around tags with spaces) +- a video longer than 180 s, or one that isn't vertical or square + +It warns on a missing episode link, too many hashtags, a missing pinned comment, and a video with no captions on screen. Most Shorts are watched muted, so for that last one render the overlay, or add `render/.srt` as the caption track in YouTube Studio. + +Then open every `-cover.jpg` and confirm the face and hook are clear at phone size. + +Done when: `ok` is true, every warning is fixed or deliberately accepted, and every cover passes. + +## 4. Upload unlisted (only when the user asks) + +`upload` sends each short with the YouTube Data API's resumable `videos.insert`, using `publish.json` for the title, description (with links and hashtags) and tags. It asks only for upload access (`youtube.upload`). + +**One-time setup, done by the user in their own Google account.** Tell them the steps, and never ask them to paste a secret into the chat: + +1. In Google Cloud Console, create a project and enable **YouTube Data API v3**. +2. Configure the OAuth consent screen. "External" in testing mode works if they add their own Google account as a test user. In testing mode, Google expires the saved grant after 7 days, and `upload` then asks for consent again. +3. Create an OAuth client ID of type **Desktop app**, download its JSON, and keep it outside the repository. + +Before uploading: + +- **Made for kids:** ask the user whether the shorts are made for kids, and set `"madeForKids"` in `publish.json`. YouTube requires this declaration, and `upload` refuses without it. +- **Run a dry run.** `upload` picks the same file as `kit`: overlay, then captioned, then plain, or `--variant` (for example `--variant no-cards`). Check the planned files, and fix any no-captions warning first. + +```bash +node /scripts/publish.mjs upload --project --client-secret --variant no-cards --dry-run +``` + +Then run the same command without `--dry-run`. On the first run, the user's browser opens for consent; they should pick the channel's account. The refresh token is saved under `~/.config/youtube-shorts-publish` (mode 600). + +- **Each finished upload** is recorded in `publish/uploads.json`, so a rerun skips it unless `--force` is given. +- **Privacy:** uploads are unlisted by default; `--privacy private` is the alternative. Public posting stays in YouTube Studio. +- **What the API doesn't set:** the cover frame, related video and pinned comment are still set in YouTube Studio afterwards. + +Done when: every short the user chose has a link in `publish/uploads.json`, and the user knows the Studio follow-ups. + +## 5. Hand off + +Give the user `publish/README.md` (the schedule) and the per-short sheets, along with these steps in YouTube Studio: + +1. **Create → Upload videos.** Up to 15 Shorts can go at once. Open each draft and paste its title, description, and tags from `.md`. +2. **Pick the cover** frame closest to `-cover.jpg`, and set the schedule. +3. **After upload:** Content → the Short → Related video → the episode. This needs advanced feature access. +4. **After it goes live,** post and pin the pinned comment. + +If step 4 ran, give the links from `publish/uploads.json` instead of the upload steps, plus the Studio follow-ups. + +Done when: the user has the schedule, every sheet, every cover, and the Studio steps. diff --git a/.agents/skills/youtube-shorts-publish/agents/openai.yaml b/.agents/skills/youtube-shorts-publish/agents/openai.yaml new file mode 100644 index 00000000..4dc384bd --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/youtube-shorts-publish/agents/openai.yaml @@ -0,0 +1,4 @@ +interface: + display_name: "YouTube Shorts Publish" + short_description: "Upload copy, covers, and schedule for Shorts" + default_prompt: "Use $youtube-shorts-publish to write titles, descriptions, hashtags, covers, and a schedule for rendered Shorts, checked against YouTube's limits." diff --git a/.agents/skills/youtube-shorts-publish/scripts/publish.mjs b/.agents/skills/youtube-shorts-publish/scripts/publish.mjs new file mode 100755 index 00000000..ab756c0b --- /dev/null +++ b/.agents/skills/youtube-shorts-publish/scripts/publish.mjs @@ -0,0 +1,824 @@ +#!/usr/bin/env node +import { createRequire as __createRequire } from 'node:module'; +const require = __createRequire(import.meta.url); + +// src/publish/cli.ts +import { mkdir as mkdir4, readFile as readFile4, stat as stat2, writeFile as writeFile3 } from "node:fs/promises"; +import { join as join4, resolve as resolve2 } from "node:path"; + +// src/watch/ffmpeg.ts +import { constants } from "node:fs"; +import { access, mkdir, readFile, rm, stat } from "node:fs/promises"; +import { delimiter, extname, isAbsolute, join, resolve } from "node:path"; + +// ../all-things-youtube/src/youtube-types.ts +var YouTubeClientError = class extends Error { + code; + status; + retryable; + /** Set when YouTube challenged the connection itself, so callers can blame the egress route. */ + reason; + constructor(code, message, options = {}) { + super(message); + if (options.cause !== void 0) { + this.cause = options.cause; + } + this.name = "YouTubeClientError"; + this.code = code; + this.status = options.status; + this.retryable = options.retryable ?? false; + if (options.reason !== void 0) this.reason = options.reason; + } +}; + +// src/watch/ffmpeg.ts +function pathValue(environment, platform) { + if (platform !== "win32") return environment.PATH ??

Use for Shorts, Reels, TikToks, clips, or highlights cut from a long video, and for a ranked cut list when no master file is available.

Settle the footing + +Get the video ID and ask whether the user has the master file for this exact upload and the right to clip it. A different edit (a re-export with a new intro, say) shifts every timestamp. Without a master, `shots` and `render` take `--from-youtube` instead of `--master `. That streams YouTube's own video with audio at 360p, the only quality YouTube serves without sign-in: right for reviewing cuts, framing, and sound, too soft to publish. For 1080p, ask the channel owner for the master or their own download of the upload (YouTube Studio or Google Takeout). If the user has installed yt-dlp and confirms they own the video or have permission to download it, `shorts.mjs fetch --project ` runs their yt-dlp for the best H.264 up to 1080p plus audio and prints the file to pass as `--master`. When it fails, report yt-dlp's error and point the user to yt-dlp's own setup guide. Leave their yt-dlp configuration (cookies, plugins) to them. A 4K master or per-person camera recordings give the sharpest vertical crops, since a 9:16 crop uses about a third of a 16:9 frame's width. + +Done when: you know the source: the master, or a YouTube review copy. + +## 2. Read the whole video + +```bash +node /scripts/shorts.mjs read --video-id --project +``` + +Use a project directory in the user's workspace, such as `shorts/`. YouTube's captions are the default. When `read` returns `captions: "unavailable"`, or the captions are too garbled to use, transcribe the audio locally with Whisper instead: + +```bash +node /scripts/shorts.mjs transcribe --project --master # or --from-youtube +``` + +This runs whisper.cpp with DTW word timing, which lands within about 0.2 s of the audio, so snapping in `render` can absorb the error. It writes the same `words.json` and `transcript.md`, without speaker-change marks, and takes about 6 minutes per hour of audio. Quote `from`/`to` phrases from whichever transcript you read: Whisper and YouTube word things differently. Then read `transcript.md` from start to finish: about 20k tokens per hour of talk. Chapters are a map, not a substitute. Auto-generated captions misspell names; collect each misheard name or term with its correction as you read, using the description and chapter titles as spelling sources. + +Done when: every paragraph of `transcript.md` is read and the glossary candidates are listed. + +## 3. Select moments + +Follow [references/selection.md](references/selection.md) to find, score, and shape candidates, then write `/edl.json` in the format in [references/edl.md](references/edl.md). Anchor each cut with `from` and `to` phrases quoted from the transcript, plus `after` to pin repeated phrases. + +Done when: `edl.json` holds 5 to 10 ranked shorts, each with a hook, and every rejected candidate had a reason. + +## 4. Plan and proofread + +```bash +node /scripts/shorts.mjs plan --project +``` + +`plan` writes word-accurate `startMs`/`endMs`, corrected caption `text`, and `durationSec` back into `edl.json`. Fix every `error` issue and rerun. Then read each cut's `text` as a viewer would: it opens on a hook, ends on a payoff, never leans on earlier context, and has no glossary misses. + +Done when: `plan` returns `ok: true` and every cut's `text` passes that read. + +## 5. Frame every shot + +```bash +node /scripts/shorts.mjs shots --project --master # or --from-youtube +``` + +Open every `sheet` image. Tiles run left to right, top to bottom, matching each shot's `n`. Write one `layout` entry per shot using its `atMs`, choosing the mode and position as [references/edl.md](references/edl.md) describes. If a sheet tile shows two shots, rerun with a lower `--scene` (such as `0.2`). + +Done when: every shot `n` of every short has a layout entry, and `plan` reports no layout warnings. + +## 6.
