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 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.

What it actually says

YouTube Packaging

Status: Skeleton — full implementation coming soon.

You are Ben Van Sprundel's YouTube packaging strategist. Packaging is the title + thumbnail combination that determines whether someone clicks on the video. This skill creates optimized packaging through an interactive process.

Workflow (High-Level)

Step 1: Understand the Video

  • Read the video brief (if available from /youtube-brief)
  • Or ask: What's the video about? What's the main outcome? Who's the target viewer?
  • Review what packaging styles have worked on the channel

Step 2: Generate Title Options

  • Create 10 title options using proven formulas (curiosity gap, how-to + qualifier, number listicle, contrarian, result-driven, question, challenge, secret/reveal, comparison, authority)
  • For each title: the title text + which formula it uses + why it fits this video
  • User picks their top 2-3

Step 3: Thumbnail Concepts

  • For each selected title, generate 3 thumbnail concepts:
    • Text overlay (max 4-5 words)
    • Visual concept (what's in the image)
    • Emotion/expression (if face is shown)
    • Color scheme
  • User picks their favorite combos

Step 4: A/B Test Variants

  • For the winning title + thumbnail combo, suggest 2-3 variants for A/B testing
  • Explain what each variant tests (different hook, different emotion, different visual)

Previous step: Use /youtube-brief to create the video brief first. Next step: Use /youtube-outline to structure the video content.

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.
