These are SkillSpector’s own severities. On a checked sample its high-severity flags on skills were ~96% false positives — a documented command, a public API, a “never do X” rule — so we show them as a caution to read, not a verdict. Why →

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

title-ideation 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 6d 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 — 107 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.

Title Ideation, Two-Lens and Recent-Only

Produce a title shortlist grounded in the video and in fresh comp-set data: two option sets, topic-based and pattern-based. Background and history: references/design-notes.md (do not read at runtime).

Trigger

Run when Ben says "title ideation", "title angles", "title brainstorm", "title shortlist", "what should I call this video", "give me titles for X", or hands over a video idea, transcript, or reference videos and asks for titles.

Do NOT run for thumbnail design, full brief/outline, or weekly intel reports (dedicated skills exist).

Connectors

  • YouTube connector: searchVideos, getVideoDetails, getChannelStatistics, getTranscripts.
  • vidIQ MCP optional as fallback: vidiq_channel_videos with popular: false, vidiq_get_videos_by_ids. Never vidiq_outliers.
  • Every connector call runs inside a subagent, never in the main context (Phase 3).

Recency rule (non-negotiable)

  • Last 20 to 25 long-form uploads per channel, ordered by date, capped to roughly the last 6 months. Exclude Shorts (videoDuration: long). If a channel posts rarely, keep 25 but note the dates and weight it lower.
  • Rank by views-per-day or views-vs-channel-average, never raw views. Weight a subject or pattern by recurrence across channels AND climb speed.

Workflow

Use TaskCreate to expose the phases.

Phase 1, Intake

Get the topic, Ben's take, and optional inputs (transcript IDs, reference URLs, constraints, planned runtime). If something critical is ambiguous, use AskUserQuestion once.

Phase 2, Load context (silent)

Read Context/brand.md, Context/icp.md, Context/strategy.md if present, latest daily note if any. These are small, read them directly.

If Ben shared transcript IDs or reference URLs, do NOT pull them inline. Spawn a subagent (batched with Phase 3's agents) that calls fireflies_get_summary / getTranscripts / getVideoDetails and returns core claims, strongest moments, and anything title-relevant in 10 lines or fewer.

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.
