yt-audit
An audit that lists twenty problems is a way of avoiding the one that matters. This ends in ONE fix.
Before you write
- Read
~/.claude/youtube/voice.mdif it exists. That is the user's voice profile: how they talk on camera, the words they never use, who they are talking to, what they will not claim. If it does not exist, ask for three of their own videos, read or transcribe them, infer the voice, and write the file. A script in the wrong voice is worse than no script, because they have to read it out loud. - Never invent a number, a result or a source. If a figure would strengthen it and you do not have one, ask for it or write the line without it.
What to look at, in this order
- The last ten titles, as a set. Read them as a list, the way the channel page shows them. Do
they promise different things? Run them through
../yt-package/title.py. A channel where every title is the same shape has a format problem, not a title problem. - The thumbnails, at feed size. Shrink them. What survives? If three of them are unreadable at that size, that is the fix and nothing else matters yet.
- The first fifteen seconds of the three most recent. Transcribe them and score with
../yt-script/hookscore.py. This is where most channels lose. - Upload rhythm. Not frequency - CONSISTENCY. Six videos in one week and then nothing for a month is worse than one a fortnight forever.
- The retention shape, if they can export it.
/yt-retention.
What to hand back
- The single biggest fix, named, with what to do this week.
- Three things that are already working, so they do not break them. Be specific; "your energy is good" is not an observation.
- What NOT to do yet, and why.
Never open an audit with praise you do not mean, and never end one with a list of twenty things.
The gate
Nothing here publishes. This skill writes and you publish. Every output ends in a block the user copies, and the last line of every run is the question: ship it, or change it?

Also use when the user mentions 'alternative page,' 'vs page,' 'competitor comparison,' 'comparison page,' '[Product] vs [Product],' '[Product] alternative,' 'competitive landing pages,' 'how do we compare to X,' 'competitor teardown,' 'audit our competitor pages,' 'are our comparison pages out of date,' or 'competitive asset audit.' Use this for any content that positions your product against competitors. Covers four formats: singular alternative, plural alternatives, you vs competitor, and competitor vs competitor.
