yt-titles

yt-titles is a skill for Claude Code from AI-Answer/ContentRepurposeSystem. It costs 107 tokens per session (1,668 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A tool for suggesting YouTube titles based on the video's content and patterns from the channel's recent top-performing videos.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to create title options, rename a planned video, and study recurring title patterns in recent channel performance.
Why use it?
It replaces generic title advice with options informed by what has already attracted viewers on that channel. It also helps compare several possible ways to frame the same video.

Skill for Claude Code

Written for Claude Code: ${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT} variable. Also seen: positional $N argument; mentions Claude Code.

Runs only inside its plugin — its command needs a path that Claude Code sets for a plugin’s own hooks and for nothing else. Install the plugin, not this.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

yt-titles scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 8d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 1 executable file (scripts/channel_performance.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 135 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

YouTube Title Generator

Generate YouTube title options for your channel by analyzing what's already working and applying those patterns to new content.

Why this approach works

YouTube titles aren't random — channels develop signature patterns that their audience responds to. By looking at your actual performance data (not generic "YouTube tips"), the titles this skill generates are grounded in what's proven to work for YOUR audience specifically. This matters because a title style that crushes it for a coding tutorial channel might flop on a business channel, even in the same niche.

Workflow

Step 1: Pull your channel performance data

Run the channel performance script to get your recent top performers:

python "${CLAUDE_PLUGIN_ROOT}/skills/yt-titles/scripts/channel_performance.py" --months 3 --count 30

This returns your videos from the last 3 months sorted by views, with views/day, engagement ratio, and like ratio. The views/day metric is especially important — it normalizes for upload date so a video posted yesterday isn't penalized against one from 2 months ago.

Step 2: Analyze your title patterns

Look at the top 10 performers and identify:

  • Hooks: What opening words/phrases pull people in? (e.g., "I built...", "Stop...", "This...", "How I...")
  • Structure: What format do the titles follow? (e.g., "Hook + specific outcome", "Question format", "Number + result")
  • Length: What character count range do top titles fall in?
  • Specificity signals: Do they mention tools by name? Time frames? Dollar amounts? Results?
  • Emotional triggers: Curiosity gaps, contrarian takes, urgency, authority?

Also note patterns in the BOTTOM performers — what to avoid.

Step 3: Scout the competition

See what titles already exist for the same topic:

Optional step. This uses a separate yt-search helper script that does not ship with this plugin. If it isn't installed, skip it — Steps 1, 2, and 4 (your own performance data + pattern analysis + generation) are the core of this skill and work on their own.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
