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-own-channel-analyzer 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 12d 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.

YouTube Own Channel Analyzer

Analyze your YouTube channel's performance using the YouTube Data API v3.

Setup

  1. API Key: Get from Google Cloud Console - enable YouTube Data API v3
  2. Channel ID: Accept channel ID (UC...), @handle, or full URL

API Endpoints

BASE_URL = https://www.googleapis.com/youtube/v3

# Channel details
GET /channels?part=snippet,statistics,contentDetails,brandingSettings&id={channelId}&key={API_KEY}

# Channel videos (paginated)
GET /search?part=snippet&channelId={channelId}&order=date&type=video&maxResults=50&key={API_KEY}

# Video details (batch up to 50 IDs)
GET /videos?part=snippet,statistics,contentDetails&id={videoIds}&key={API_KEY}

Analysis Workflow

1. Resolve Channel ID

@handle → Search API with handle, get channelId from result
/channel/UC... → Extract directly
/c/name or /user/name → Use forUsername parameter

2. Fetch Data

  • Channel: snippet, statistics, contentDetails, brandingSettings
  • Videos: Paginate through search results, then batch video details

3. Analyze

Content Types - Categorize by title/description patterns:

Type Pattern
Tutorial tutorial, how to, guide, learn
Review review, unbox, first look, comparison
Vlog vlog, day in, life, daily
Educational explain, education, lesson
Gaming gameplay, game, gaming, stream
Music music, song, cover, lyrics

Duration Buckets: Short (<5min), Medium (5-15min), Long (15-30min), Very Long (30+min)

Performance Metrics:

  • View-to-sub ratio: views/subscribers (benchmark: 10-20%)
  • Engagement rate: (likes+comments)/views (benchmark: 1-5%)
  • Like rate: likes/views (benchmark: 3-7%)
  • Comment rate: comments/views (benchmark: 0.5-2%)
  • Viral threshold: views > 5x subscribers
  • Underperforming: views < 10% subscribers

Upload Patterns: Track day-of-week, hour-of-day, consistency (stddev of days between uploads)

Title Analysis: Track numbers, emojis, questions, brackets, caps usage, common words

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.
