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-video-evaluator scanned grade A with 1 finding 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 11d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/fetch_storyboard_frames.py, scripts/fetch_video_metadata.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.

How it starts

The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 256 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

YouTube Idea Evaluator

Takes video candidates (usually from youtube-idea-finder) and produces an actionable diagnostic report per video: what its thumbnail and editing actually look like and why, what topics/tech/format it covers, and a concrete "replicate this, fix that, do this for your own calendar" brief.

This skill does not search YouTube or apply any pass/fail filter — every candidate handed to it gets a full write-up. The point isn't to find gaps to exploit, it's to reverse-engineer what worked (and what didn't) well enough to turn it into a content calendar entry.

Do not modify youtube-idea-finder. It stays a standalone skill. This skill only consumes its output (or a manually supplied list of video IDs/URLs).

Inputs

  • A JSON output file from youtube_idea_finder.py (has a candidates array with video_id per entry), or
  • A plain list of YouTube video IDs or URLs the user pastes in directly

If the user hasn't run the finder yet and asks for both in one request, run the finder first, show its table, then feed its candidates into this skill. The finder needs a search term/niche to run — if the user hasn't given one (e.g. they just said "find me some video ideas and evaluate them"), ask for it before invoking the finder. Don't guess a query on their behalf.

If a --finder-json file is supplied instead (e.g. from an earlier session, or handed off without restating the query in this conversation), read the search term for the output filename directly from that file's top-level query field rather than relying on conversation context — youtube_idea_finder.py always writes it there.

Scope

  • In scope: thumbnail quality, editing/pacing quality, topics covered, tech/tools named, format/framing, and what's replicable vs. what needs fixing.
  • Out of scope: audio quality (no way to assess it reliably without actually listening, so don't guess at it or even flag it as unassessed, just leave it out entirely). Captions are also out of scope — nearly every candidate tested turns out to lack them, which makes it a non-differentiating, arbitrary check rather than a real signal; don't fetch, check, or mention captions anywhere in the workflow or report. Don't gate or rank candidates into skip/green-light tiers — every candidate gets the full write-up regardless of how good or bad its packaging is, since the goal is proven-demand topics to build a calendar from, not a shortlist of "easy wins."

What ships with it

3 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

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.
