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-seo-audit 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 12d 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.

Full YouTube Channel Audit (Advanced)

Process

  1. Resolve channel: accept @handle, /channel/UC..., /c/name, or a video URL. Normalize to channel ID via API or WebFetch.
  2. Ask for Studio exports before starting any retention or CTR analysis:
    • Analytics → Advanced Mode → Last 28/90 days CSV for:
      • Content (video-level stats)
      • Traffic source
      • Audience → geography + top subtitles
      • Key moments (retention curves for top 10 videos) Without these, score only metadata and structure; label retention metrics as "unknown".
  3. Fetch channel surface: /about, /videos, /shorts, /playlists, /community, /featured. Extract:
    • Channel name, handle, description, country, links, join date
    • Banner and profile image presence
    • Total videos, views, subs (if public)
    • Topic categories (from API channels.list?part=topicDetails)
    • Upload cadence from last 25 long-form + last 25 Shorts
  4. Sample videos: pull the last 25 uploads and the top 25 all-time by views. For each: title, description, visible tags, view count, like count, comment count, duration, upload date, thumbnail URL, chapters.
  5. Delegate (parallel via Agent tool when available):
    • youtube-seo-channel — identity, about, playlists, trailer, session chains
    • youtube-seo-video — run on top 3 + bottom 3 performers (contrast analysis)
    • youtube-seo-thumbnail — review last 12 thumbnails as a grid + SERP differentiation
    • youtube-seo-keywords — topical authority score + gap analysis
    • youtube-seo-competitor — detect 3-5 direct competitors + pattern extraction
  6. Compute topical authority: cluster the channel's videos by topic and measure concentration (entropy). High concentration = high authority on that cluster. Diffuse = weak algorithmic classification.
  7. Compute velocity consistency: stddev of days-between-uploads. Low stddev + regular cadence = Browse feed promotion friendly.
  8. Compute session chain strength: % of videos that appear in at least one playlist; % of playlists with ≥5 videos; avg playlist view count.
  9. Score: aggregate into YouTube Health Score (0-100)
  10. Report: write YT-AUDIT-REPORT.md + YT-ACTION-PLAN.md to the current directory.

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.
