What it does

Youtube Publish is an agent skill from Andonywang123/Epost. Prepare an English YouTube release with local Chinese-to-English translation, subtitles and cover localization, then use a deterministic script connected to dedicated Chrome and YouTube Studio to publish or schedule. Preserve local drafts and exact upstream decisions. Use for YouTube 一键发布、Chrome 网页脚本发布、英文字幕、草稿或定时分发。No upload without exact authorization; API transport is an explicit legacy option only.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.4k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 35 other files, including scripts, reference files and assets (for example `agents/openai.yaml`, `assets/manifest-template.json` and `assets/tool-schema.json`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Transcription, Translation and Internationalization. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: 海内外热门社交平台的一键发布与管理工具,支持自媒体创作者跨平台发布;自动完成语言翻译、字幕烧录和跨时区发布设置。 | One-click publishing and management for global social platforms, with translation, burned-in subtitles, and…

When your agent uses it

  • YouTube 一键发布、Chrome 网页脚本发布、英文字幕、草稿或定时分发。No upload without exact authorization
  • API transport is an explicit legacy option only

Example prompts

  • “/youtube-publish”

Requirements

  • Python 3

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Read references/payload-schema.md and create one manifest beside the local post assets. Set mode=draft|publish|schedule from the upstream…
  2. Run manifest validate. It is local-only and does not contact Google.
  3. Read references/localization.md, run localization preflight, then run youtube_localize.py localize. Translate the Chinese title and…
  4. Add the resulting status=READY localization manifest path to localization_manifest, then run manifest dry-run. Do not upload the Chinese…
  5. Match the three-route decision exactly
  6. Before the first real publish, follow references/oauth-setup.md, run auth, complete consent in the browser, then run YouTube preflight.
  7. Match lower-level actions exactly
  8. Return the emitted status without upgrading its meaning. An accepted private upload is not a public publication. API acceptance is not…
  9. Reuse the same job_id only for retries of the same logical video and exact metadata/visibility. The uploader rejects a reused job ID when…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit bbf41ed. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    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.

  • Runs code

    Ships 2 files in scripts/, which the agent can run.

    Shell commands in SKILL.md call:

    • python
    • python3
    • pip
    • npm

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md. Its commands use pip and npm, which can reach the network depending on how they are called.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Youtube Publish loads about 3.4k tokens when it runs, and up to ~11k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 105 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,494 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~105
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.4k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~11k

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.

Safety

Auto-check: warnings

The automated check found patterns that need a careful read before installing.

  • WarningMentions a credentials file (SSH keys, cloud or package-manager tokens)SKILL.md:22
    browser config. Never use the ordinary Chrome profile, copy cookies, or expose CDP off-device.

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Without a licence we can't republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 1,494 words (~3,386 tokens).

“Use the packaged scripts as the execution layer. A Chinese master is the source of truth. By default, Argos Translate, faster-whisper and RapidOCR prepare English metadata, subtitles and a cover locally; this route does not require an OpenAI API key…”
