youtube-packaging

youtube-packaging is a skill for Claude Code from hassancs91/claude-youtube-editor. It costs 130 tokens per session (3,536 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A YouTube video packaging tool that creates one title, three thumbnail options, a description, and image files. The three thumbnails are designed for YouTube’s built-in test that compares which one gets more clicks.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to package long-form videos or video ideas, prepare thumbnail variations for testing, and write a description focused on the video’s value.
Why use it?
It turns a video idea into a consistent set of title and thumbnail choices. The focus is click-through rate, meaning the share of viewers who click after seeing the video.

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-packaging 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 11d 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 Packaging (Title + Thumbnail)

Turns a video idea into one locked title + 3 distinct thumbnail bets built for YouTube's native A/B/C thumbnail test, plus one value-forward description — then renders the three thumbnails as real images with Nano Banana Pro.

The whole skill optimizes for one number: CTR (click-through rate). It's the metric YouTube Studio reports per thumbnail, and the only one that isolates packaging from topic and algorithm.

Where these rules come from, and what to do about it

The rules below are not generic YouTube advice — they were derived from Studio CTR data across 20 long-form videos on a real ~1M-subscriber beginner/AI channel, read in CTR order. That dataset isn't shipped (it's another channel's numbers, and its absolutes wouldn't transfer). The patterns do transfer, and they're a much better prior than guessing.

But an inherited rule is a bet, not a fact — about YOUR audience. So:

  • Cold start (no channel data yet). Use these rules as-is. Say so when you package: "these are uncalibrated defaults — your own CTR data will beat them." Then tell the creator to start logging CTR from video 1.
  • Calibrated (~10+ long-form videos with CTR). Run references/channel-calibration.md first, then follow that file's numbers wherever it disagrees with this one. Their data wins over anything written here.

Ask which mode you're in if it isn't obvious. Never quote a target CTR the creator hasn't measured.

The core model — read this first

Views = Reach × CTR. Two different levers, driven by two different things.

  • Reach (how many people YouTube serves it to) comes from the topic and from riding known discovery waves — a tool everyone's searching, a real news moment, a broad money/free promise. Packaging cannot fix a low-ceiling topic.
  • CTR comes from packaging craft — concrete promise, magnet word, barrier-drop, one bold thumbnail hook. This is the only lever this skill controls.
