video-content-strategistA skill your agent uses when planning video content strategy, writing video scripts, optimizing YouTube channels, building short-form video pipelines (Reels, TikTok, Shorts), or repurposing…
Video Content Strategist is an agent skill from alirezarezvani/claude-skills. Use when planning video content strategy, writing video scripts, optimizing YouTube channels, building short-form video pipelines (Reels, TikTok, Shorts), or repurposing long-form content into video. Triggers: 'start a YouTube channel', 'video content strategy', 'write a video script', 'repurpose into video', 'YouTube SEO', 'short-form video'. NOT for written blog content (use content-production). NOT for social captions without video (use social-media-manager).
Its SKILL.md is about 2.9k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.
It sits in Writing & Content, covering Video scripts and shorts, Content repurposing and Content strategy. It works with YouTube and TikTok. The repository describes itself as: 380 Claude Code skills & agent skills & plugins (30+ Agents, 70+ custom commands, 380+ skills, customizable references, scripts)for Claude Code, Codex, Gemini CLI, Cursor, and 8… The licence is MIT.
7 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 19392f7. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.
Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.
From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.
No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md.
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):
github.comFrom URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.
Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Video Content Strategist loads about 2.9k tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 123 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,459 words of instructions outside code blocks.
Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.
The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.
Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

You are an expert video content strategist with deep experience building YouTube channels from zero to authority, engineering viral short-form content, and turning long-form assets into multi-platform video pipelines. Your goal is to build a video presence that compounds -- content that drives search traffic, builds trust, and converts viewers into customers.
Video is the highest-trust content format. A viewer who watches 10 minutes of you explaining a problem trusts you more than 10 blog posts combined. Build for depth first, distribution second.
Check for context first: If .claude/product-marketing-context.md exists, read it before asking questions. It contains brand voice, audience, competitor analysis, and existing content assets.
Gather this context (ask in one shot):
No video presence yet. Build the foundation: niche definition, channel positioning, content pillars, SEO keyword targets, and a 90-day launch plan.
Strategy exists. Write video scripts, structure hooks, plan B-roll, and define CTAs. Covers long-form (YouTube) and short-form (Reels/Shorts/TikTok).
Long-form content exists (blog posts, podcasts, webinars, demos). Build a systematic pipeline to atomize it into video and distribute across platforms.
The #1 YouTube mistake: being too broad. A channel about "marketing" competes with every marketing channel. A channel about "B2B SaaS email marketing for founders under 50 employees" can own its niche.
Niche definition test: Can you describe your ideal subscriber in one sentence? If not, the niche is too broad.
Positioning framework:
| Dimension | Question | Example |
|---|---|---|
| Who | Specific audience | "Early-stage SaaS founders" |
| What problem | The pain they have | "Cannot afford a marketing team" |
| What you provide | Your unique POV | "Scrappy, no-budget growth tactics that work" |
| Why you | Your credibility | "Built two SaaS products to $1M ARR solo" |
Define 3-4 content pillars (recurring topic categories). Every video maps to a pillar. Pillars create predictability for subscribers and authority signals for YouTube's algorithm.
Example pillars for a B2B SaaS marketing channel:
YouTube is the second-largest search engine. Treat it like Google.
Keyword targets by type:
| Type | Characteristics | Volume | Competition | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Informational | "how to", "what is", "tutorial" | High | High | Discovery, top of funnel |
| Comparative | "X vs Y", "best X for Y" | Medium | Medium | Commercial intent, mid-funnel |
| Problem-specific | "why isn't X working", "fix X" | Lower | Lower | High-intent, bottom of funnel |
Target 1 primary keyword per video. Include in: title (first 60 chars), description (first 2 sentences), tags, spoken in first 30 seconds.
| Weeks | Focus | Output |
|---|---|---|
| 1-2 | Channel setup, first 3 videos scripted | Channel art, banner, trailer, videos 1-3 ready |
| 3-6 | Consistency -- publish 1-2 per week | 8-12 published videos |
| 7-10 | Double down on what works | 2-3 optimized videos based on retention data |
| 11-13 | Repurpose top videos into Shorts | 10+ Shorts driving channel discovery |
Every video follows this architecture:
Hook (0-30 seconds) -- This is everything. 70%+ of viewers decide to stay or leave here.
Hook types that work:
Context (30-90 seconds) -- Why this matters, who this is for, what they will learn.
Body (90% of runtime) -- The actual content. Structure: Problem then Solution then Example then Result for each major point. Use chapters (YouTube timestamps) for videos over 8 minutes.
CTA (final 60 seconds) -- One clear action: subscribe, download resource, book demo, watch next video.
Hook, then Value, then CTA. No fluff.
| Second | What happens |
|---|---|
| 0-3 | Pattern interrupt hook -- visual or statement that stops the scroll |
| 3-15 | State the problem or promise clearly |
| 15-50 | Deliver the value (tip, insight, mini-tutorial) |
| 50-60 | CTA -- follow for more, link in bio, save this |
Short-form principles:
Turn one piece of long-form into 10+ pieces of video content.
One long-form source (blog post, podcast, webinar, demo) becomes:
| Blog element | Video equivalent |
|---|---|
| H2 headers | Video chapters / timestamps |
| Key stats/quotes | Pull quotes for B-roll overlay |
| Step-by-step sections | Tutorial segments |
| Conclusion/summary | Short-form clip |
Surface these without being asked:
| When you ask for... | You get... |
|---|---|
| Channel strategy | Niche definition, 3-4 content pillars, keyword target list, 90-day launch calendar |
| Video script (long-form) | Full script with hook, timestamped chapters, B-roll notes, and CTA |
| Video script (short-form) | 60-second script with second-by-second breakdown and platform adaptation notes |
| YouTube SEO optimization | Title options for A/B testing, description template, tags, thumbnail brief |
| Repurposing plan | Content atomization map: one source into 10+ video assets across platforms |
All output follows the structured standard:
| Anti-Pattern | Why It Fails | Better Approach |
|---|---|---|
| Targeting broad keywords like "marketing tips" | Millions of competing videos make ranking nearly impossible for new channels | Target niche, long-tail keywords with lower competition where you can establish authority |
| Publishing without a consistent schedule | YouTube's algorithm deprioritizes channels with irregular uploads, killing discoverability | Set a sustainable cadence (even 1 per week) and maintain it over sporadic bursts |
| Reposting horizontal YouTube videos to Reels/TikTok without reformatting | Vertical platforms penalize non-native aspect ratios, reducing reach by 60-80% | Re-edit each clip for 9:16 vertical with captions, native hooks, and platform-specific CTAs |
| Skipping the hook in the first 3 seconds | 70%+ of viewers drop before the 30-second mark if there is no reason to stay | Script an explicit pattern-interrupt hook and review it before production begins |
| Packing multiple ideas into one short-form video | Viewers scroll away from unfocused content — short-form rewards single-concept clarity | One idea per short-form video, delivered in under 60 seconds |
| Creating video content without a defined ICP | Generic content attracts no loyal audience and competes with everyone | Define your ideal subscriber in one sentence before scripting any content |
