From the author
Scout a topic on YouTube. Searches YouTube Data API v3 for the most relevant videos, ranks them by views (or engagement, likes, recency, momentum, breakout), and writes a research workbook in the OWT-Social-Ads layout with Videos, Channels, and Summary sheets, plus optional Comments and Transcripts (hooks, replay hotspots) sheets. Can also append into an existing sheet. Use when the user says "scout <topic>", wants a spreadsheet of top YouTube videos on a topic, wants creator or hook research, or wants YouTube rows added to their social ads sheet.
