Investigation on using Claude Code to automatically generate profitable YouTube videos.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Close the learning loop from real YouTube performance. Reads the newest YouTube Studio "Table data.csv" export, attributes each video's views/CTR/retention to topic + named-entity tokens, and rewrites the AUTO-managed block of schedule-drip's topics.scorelist (GO winners / HOLD dead niches) plus appends proven-winner…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Mix a trendy looped background track under a finished short, attenuated well below the speaker (-18dB). Picks a random song from ./songs/ /, or recurses across every mood folder when category is "ALL SONGS" (the default). Avoids repeating the last 5 picks via ./songs/.recent. Runs after loudnorm so the bed never…

Snap each picked segment's [t0, t1] to a sentence boundary so shorts begin and end on full thoughts instead of mid-sentence. Claude reads ±extend seconds of context per span and picks clean sentence-completing endpoints from whisper transcript-line boundaries. Runs after verify-coherence, before cut-clip.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Composite both persistent brand PNGs — the top "Original video: " credit chyron (y≈4%) and the bottom @C0BALTCUT watermark (y≈97.5%) — onto a finished short in ONE ffmpeg pass. The credit appears only in the FINAL CREDITTAIL seconds (default 3.0s) — it fades in at dur-tail and holds to the end so it lands on the…

Deferred end-of-run B-roll cache eviction. For ONLY the B-roll source videoids this run ingested (from each brollplan.json's ingestedvideoids), runs mcptube remove AND deletes the local work/ /broll/.mp4 cache. Never touches the podcast source, unrelated library videos, or brollplan.json (placement metadata persists…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Hard-cut full-frame B-roll cutaways onto a 1080x1920 clip per brollplan.json. During each [t0,t1] the entire frame is replaced by the cutaway (instant in/out, no crossfade/zoom); 16:9 source is scale-to-cover + SUBJECT-cropped to 1080x1920 with no bars — the slack-axis offset is chosen subject-first (MediaPipe face ->…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Claude picks CONTEXTUAL/scene-level anchors from a clip transcript (literal objects, establishing shots, evocative concept footage matched to the story's tone — not just keyword nouns) and sources full-bleed B-roll cutaways via keyless yt-dlp YouTube search + mcptube frame-sampling + Claude vision verify. The verify…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Burn karaoke-style word-timed subtitles into a video. Takes a transcript JSON with word timestamps and a video, emits a new video with subtitles rendered in. Renders text as a PNG overlay sequence (the local ffmpeg build has no libass/drawtext).
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Group a clip's word-timed transcript into phrase-sized caption chunks via Claude. Replaces the rolling 4-word window in burn-subtitles. Each chunk is one self-contained phrase that swaps in as a whole unit.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Trim a video to a [t0, t1] time range using ffmpeg. Stream-copies where possible to avoid re-encoding. Use as the cheap building block for cutting source video into per-short slices.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Apply a trim-filler keeps.json to a clip's video. Reads the kept time ranges and re-encodes the clip with ffmpeg select/aselect so kept ranges are concatenated and removed spans (filler, trail-offs, digressions) disappear. Output aligns with the trimmed transcript trim-filler wrote, so downstream subtitle / caption /…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Name the CENTRAL SUBJECT (spine) of a long-form source so selection can tell on-theme moments from clip-shaped tangents. Claude reads the topic chapter list (topics.json) + source duration and emits thesis.json = {subject, thesissentence, keythreads[]} — the one durable source-level "what is this video about" artifact…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
An agentic, vision-driven final QA/repair pass — a Claude "director" WATCHES the finished short (a contact sheet of frames sampled across the whole clip + the transcript + the sidecar plans) and decides, in natural language, what is broken ANYWHERE (cold open, dead/rambling tail, a tonally-wrong b-roll match, a…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Composite a closing CTA banner ("FOLLOW FOR MORE" + @C0BALTCUT) over the last 2.5s of a finished short so it lands on an intentional beat instead of dead-stopping on a dangling word. Timeline-preserving (audio copied, duration identical), deterministic, non-fatal. ENDCARD=0 skips.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Reframe a horizontal (16:9) clip to 9:16 (1080x1920) by punching in to FILL the frame — never letterbox, no blur bars. Detects scene cuts and computes ONE static crop box per shot. Clusters face signatures across all shots to find the dominant speaker (storyteller); on multi-face shots it picks the speaker by…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
The pre-fanout LEARNING GATE. start.sh finishes SPAN 0 alone (through the normal edit/captions/completion chain) before any lane launches, then this skill records a shot-scraper video demo of a generated per-span REVIEW PAGE (the 9:16 player + the grade/tier + the retention signals with the failing one flagged), has a…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Deterministic, grade.json-routed repair of a short's cold open (the first 2s swipe gate). Reads a clip's grade.json fixroutes and runs gated ops in order — brollopentruncate (drop any b-roll cutaway overlapping [0,FIXCOOPENGUARDSEC] and re-composite so frame 1 is the speaker), shot0repunch (re-run fill-vertical face…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Generate a per-clip third-person engagement-driven title card text. Claude reads the clip's transcript, the source ingest.json metadata, and (optionally) pick-segments' per-span judgment (topic, rationale, suggested title) so it reads the speaker's register — sincere vs ironic vs joking — before titling. Emits a…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Per-clip upload-readiness grade (0-99) read off a FINISHED .mp4 plus its persisted sidecar plans — the first skill that inspects a delivered pixel-level artifact, the on-disk proxy for YouTube's VVSA swipe gate. Deterministic retention-proxy floor (frame1isface, letterboxbars, creditlitatopen, firstvisualchange…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Download a source video from a YouTube/URL into ./work/ /source.mp4 using yt-dlp, and emit ingest.json with metadata (title, duration, fps, url, sourceid). First step of the shorts pipeline.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Manufacture "multi-cam" hard cuts on static talking-head stretches by alternating a base framing with tighter punch-in reframings of the SAME speaker, each cut snapped to a word start so it lands on speech. Deterministic, no Claude. Timeline-preserving — audio is copied untouched and total duration is identical, so…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Overlay the branded like/subscribe CTA animation — channel gem avatar + @C0BALTCUT handle + subscribe/like/bell click choreography — for 4 seconds WITHIN THE FIRST THIRD of a finished short (start clamped to end by the 1/3 mark, floored after the 2.5s title card; early placement so viewers who bail never miss it). The…
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Normalize audio loudness to broadcast levels using ffmpeg's two-pass loudnorm filter. Measures the input, then applies normalization with the measured parameters. Use as a final-stage audio leveling step.
Skill Claude CodeCodex
Sanitize a generated title into a filesystem-safe filename for the final saved short. Reads the title text emitted by generate-title and prints a kebab-case .mp4 filename. Pure string op — no Claude call.
