youtube-strategy
From the author
Use when a YouTube channel needs a system-level decision — positioning and niche, upload cadence, how videos chain into playlists and series, end-screen routing, or a what-is-working review — read from and written back to the channel's own learning wiki rather than one video's choices. NOT generating next-video topics (that is `youtube-ideation`), NOT per-video titles or thumbnail text (that is `youtube-packaging`), NOT designing the thumbnail image (that is `youtube-thumbnails`), NOT fetching metrics from the Data API (that is `youtube-api`).

Closest to this one by what they do and when they are used.
- youtube-ideationericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when deciding which videos a channel should make next and tracking whether each bet beat baseline — generating, scoring and prioritising candidate ideas from the channel's own performance log plus outlier and search-trend research, then recording each promoted idea as a dated hypothesis with its measured outcome. NOT writing the title or thumbnail text for a chosen idea (that is `youtube-packaging`).Science★ 255
- youtube-packagingericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when writing or fixing the text that ships with a YouTube upload — title, description, tags, hashtags and chapters — when click-through is weak and the words are the suspect, or when closing the loop on what last performed. NOT designing the thumbnail image (that is `youtube-thumbnails`), NOT inventing the idea or angle (that is `youtube-ideation`), NOT the channel growth plan (that is `youtube-strategy`), NOT pushing the fields via the Data API (that is `youtube-api`).Media★ 255
- youtube-producercbrock84/headcountPlans, packages, and scripts long-form video for retention and channel growth — idea selection, titles and thumbnails, script structure, and diagnosing why a video or channel underperforms. Use this for video ideas, packaging, scripting, a retention teardown, or channel strategy — including when someone describes a topic and wants it turned into something publishable. For short-form and cross-platform video, use `video-content`.Media★ 2.1K
- youtube-thumbnailsericrisco/rsc-harnessUse when designing or fixing a YouTube thumbnail, making variants for an A/B test, or working out which thumbnail style wins on a channel — including the trap where CTR looks fine but the test keeps selecting the duller image on watch-time share. NOT pairing the title with the thumbnail as one click-promise (that is `youtube-packaging`), NOT channel positioning or niche (that is `youtube-strategy`), NOT setting a thumbnail through the Data API (that is `youtube-api`).Testing★ 255
- youtube-dataZeroPointRepo/youtube-skillsUse when structured YouTube data is needed: pasted video/channel/playlist links, transcripts for analysis, video metadata, channel upload history, search results, or playlist contents — without Google API quotas or OAuth. Triggers on YouTube URLs, creator names, topic research, or any request needing YouTube content, even if not mentioned explicitly. Not for uploads, account management, or written-source-only research.Media★ 1.1K
- video-contentcbrock84/headcountPlans and scripts short-form and long-form video, and designs the packaging — titles, thumbnails, and openings — that determines whether it gets watched. Use this to script a video, plan a series, fix retention or click-through problems, design thumbnail and title concepts, or turn written content into video. For a YouTube channel specifically — idea selection, retention teardowns, and channel-level strategy — use `youtube-producer`.Media★ 2.1K
