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 5.1 | $0.00172 | $0.01284 |
| Opus 5.5 | $0.00069 | $0.00514 |
| Sonnet 5.5 | $0.00034 | $0.00257 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00017 | $0.00128 |
Grade A, and why
youtube-studio-setup 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 1mo 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 — 106 lines — stays where its author put it; the contents beside it link to each section on GitHub.
YouTube Studio Setup
Stage 1. Ends with the video saved at Unlisted, which is what unlocks everything downstream.
Owns Studio only. Does not touch links, chapters, tags, or the description.
Why this runs first
Found on 2026-08-25. A video sitting as a Studio draft has no caption track, so there is no
transcript, so youtube-chapters-tags has nothing to read. YouTube generates captions only
after the video is saved at a real visibility and its checks finish.
The old chain put chapters first and deadlocked on this. Walk the wizard first.
Before you start
- The video must already be uploaded. If it is not, say so and stop; uploading is a person's job and takes two or three minutes.
- Confirm the video is Ben's: the watch-page fetch returns
authorandchannelId, which must beBen AIandUC3KK7ENB_ierAXvrxVNnbZQ. Refuse a video that reports public with a view count, because that is not a pre-publish draft. - Load the browser tools per
references/studio-chrome.md. Studio list pages do not render in the sandbox and YouTube is IP-blocked from it, so all of this runs in Chrome.
Steps
Task Progress:
- [ ] 1. Title and thumbnails in place
- [ ] 2. A/B test armed (up to three variants)
- [ ] 3. Playlist set, Made for kids = No
- [ ] 4. Monetization on, mid-rolls on
- [ ] 5. Ad suitability rated ← HUMAN CHECKPOINT, permanent
- [ ] 6. End screen set, title read back, duration shortened to the last few seconds
- [ ] 7. Checks read
- [ ] 8. Visibility Unlisted, saved
- [ ] 9. Video ID written to the Notion card
1. Title and thumbnails
Read the chosen titles and thumbnails off the Ship Brief. The test takes up to three variants, and the team uses all three; the cards carry three for that reason.
If the thumbnails are not ready yet, put the title in and move on. Stage 2 derives the UTM code from the title, so it is blocked without one, while the A/B test can be armed later.
If the operator has already uploaded them by hand, do not re-upload. Read back what is actually in Studio and confirm it matches the Brief.
What ships with it
2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.
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.

youtube-studio-setup is a skill published in the GitHub repository naveedharri/benai-skills (74 stars, last pushed 16d ago), licensed MIT. It adds 172 tokens to every session and 1,284 once invoked, about $0.0007 per session on Opus 5.5. 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 2026-09-12.
