Getting it into your agent
One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

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.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5 | $0.00046 | $0.01412 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00023 | $0.00706 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00009 | $0.00282 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00005 | $0.00141 |
Grade A, and why
podguy-youtube-publisher 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 5d 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.
How it starts
The opening of the file, as written. The whole thing — 117 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
podguy YouTube Publisher
Use this skill when the user asks to upload an episode to YouTube, schedule a premiere/publish time, set thumbnails or captions, add uploads to a playlist, or check upload status.
This skill complements podguy-post-production:
- pi does editorial judgment: drafting the title, description, tags, and chapter list
scripts/youtube_publish.pydoes deterministic YouTube Data API calls- uploads default to private so publishing stays a deliberate, reviewable step
One-time setup
If the user has never authenticated, walk them through it:
- Create a Google Cloud project and enable YouTube Data API v3.
- Create an OAuth client of type Desktop app (APIs & Services > Credentials).
- Save the downloaded JSON to
~/.config/podguy/youtube/client_secret.json. - Run the auth flow (opens a browser):
uv run --group youtube python scripts/youtube_publish.py auth
The token is cached at ~/.config/podguy/youtube/token.json. Both paths can be overridden with --client-secrets / --token or PODGUY_YT_CLIENT_SECRETS / PODGUY_YT_TOKEN.
Personal-channel projects can stay in OAuth "testing" mode with the user's account added as a test user. Two caveats to surface:
- Videos uploaded through unverified API projects may be locked private until the project passes a YouTube API audit, so verify scheduling behavior before relying on it.
- While the OAuth app is in Testing mode, Google expires refresh tokens after about 7 days; expect to re-run the
authcommand periodically (or move the consent screen to "In production" to stop the expiry).
Inputs to gather
- Final episode video path (a real export, not a review cut).
- Episode slug, e.g.
ep006, to find existing analysis artifacts. - Title — draft from show notes if not provided; max 100 characters.
- Description — prefer composing a
dist/analysis/<slug>/youtube-description.mdfrom show notes. - Chapters — reuse
dist/analysis/<slug>/chapters.mdwhen it exists (YouTube parses00:00 Titlelines; the first chapter must start at00:00). - Privacy and timing — private (default), unlisted, public, or scheduled via
--publish-at. - Optional: thumbnail image, SRT captions from the transcript run, playlist.
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.

podguy-youtube-publisher is a skill published in the GitHub repository modem-dev/podguy (47 stars, last pushed 19d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 46 tokens to every session and 1,412 once invoked, about $0.0002 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
