Claude Skills for YouTube Videos

This topic covers skills that help with YouTube videos as a deliverable. That includes ideation, scripting, SEO and metadata, production, channel operations, and Shorts. The skills here are not all the same: some focus on packaging such as titles, descriptions, tags, and thumbnails; others cover full production pipelines from ideation to distribution; others handle channel audits, calendars, analytics, comment management, and monetization. A YouTube video is typically idea, script, production, packaging, then channel operations, and packaging drives most of the reach. Use the ranked list by scanning each skill's description to see which part of that workflow it addresses. The list is ranked by observed search demand and reviewed for relevance, not endorsed. Check whether a skill matches your current stage before loading it.
