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

youtube-scripts 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 1mo ago.

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.

YouTube Scripts — Skrypty video z wysoką retencją

Pisze skrypty na YouTube optymalizowane pod retencję widzów. Hook writing, struktura 3-aktowa, pattern interrupts, CTA placement.

Kiedy używać

  • Pisanie skryptu na video YouTube (tutorial, vlog, thought leadership)
  • Optymalizacja tytułu i thumbnail
  • Poprawa retencji istniejących filmów
  • Planowanie serii video
  • Użytkownik mówi: "napisz skrypt", "video na YouTube", "jak zacząć film"

Zależności

  • Opcjonalne: voice-profile → ton i styl autora
  • Opcjonalne: copywriting → formuły (PAS, AIDA) do intro
  • Opcjonalne: content-repurpose → video → inne formaty
  • Opcjonalne: content-strategy → topic clusters

Struktura skryptu: 3-aktowy model

AKT 1: HOOK + SETUP (0-30s) — 15% czasu
├── Hook (0-5s): zatrzymaj scrollowanie
├── Kontekst (5-15s): dlaczego to ważne
└── Promise (15-30s): co widz dostanie

AKT 2: WARTOŚĆ (30s - 80% filmu) — 70% czasu
├── Punkt 1 + przykład
├── Pattern interrupt
├── Punkt 2 + przykład
├── Pattern interrupt
├── Punkt 3 + przykład
└── (opcjonalnie: Punkt 4-5)

AKT 3: ZAMKNIĘCIE (ostatnie 15%) — 15% czasu
├── Podsumowanie (key takeaway)
├── CTA (subskrybuj / obejrzyj kolejne video)
└── Outro

Hook — pierwsze 5 sekund

Hook decyduje czy widz zostanie. 80% widzów odpada w pierwszych 30 sekundach.

Typy hooków:

Typ Przykład Siła
Kontrowersja "Przestań robić landing page. Poważnie." ★★★★★
Zaskakujący fakt "93% startupów nie mierzy retention." ★★★★★
Pytanie "Ile czasu marnujesz na ręczną pracę?" ★★★★
Before/After "Rok temu: 0 klientów. Dziś: 47." ★★★★
Problem "Twoja strona nie konwertuje. Oto dlaczego." ★★★★
Preview wyniku "Pod koniec tego video będziesz wiedzieć jak..." ★★★
Historia "Wczoraj straciłem klienta za 12 000 zł miesięcznie." ★★★★★
Demonstracja [Pokaż efekt końcowy od razu] ★★★★

Formuła hooka:

[HOOK] + [KONTEKST] + [PROMISE]

Przykład:
"93% startupów nie mierzy retention — i potem się dziwią że klienci odchodzą.
Dziś pokażę Ci 3 metryki, które musisz śledzić od pierwszego dnia.
Zostań do końca — dam Ci gotowy dashboard do skopiowania."

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.
