What it does

Video Content Strategist is an agent skill from borghei/Claude-Skills. This skill should be used when the user asks to "plan video content", "create a video calendar", "optimize video SEO", "analyze thumbnail performance", "improve video titles", "schedule video production", or "build a YouTube strategy".

Its SKILL.md is about 1.3k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 6 other files, including scripts and reference files (for example `references/video-strategy-guide.md`, `scripts/thumbnail_analyzer.py` and `scripts/video_content_planner.py`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production and Content strategy. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: 385 AI skills, 77 expert agents, and 900 stdlib Python tools for every team: engineering, PM, marketing, C-level, compliance, business ops, research, and a LinkedIn toolkit… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

Asks to plan video content
Create a video calendar
Optimize video SEO
Analyze thumbnail performance

Example prompts

“plan video content”
“create a video calendar”
“optimize video SEO”
“/video-content-strategist”

Requirements

Python 3

Workflow steps

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

Define audience personas and content pillars in topics JSON
Run video_content_planner.py to generate 4-week calendar
For each planned video, run video_seo_optimizer.py for metadata
After publishing, collect thumbnail data and run thumbnail_analyzer.py
Feed learnings back into next month's planning cycle

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 4a698e8. 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 3 files in scripts/ (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
- python
From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.
Network
No URLs in SKILL.md.
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

Video Content Strategist loads about 1.3k tokens when it runs, and up to ~2.7k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 65 tokens; SKILL.md has 380 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it: ~65
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches: ~1.3k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them: ~2.7k

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 passed

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); the scripts in this folder are not scanned.

Video Content Strategist Skill

Overview

Production-ready video content strategy toolkit for planning content calendars, analyzing thumbnail effectiveness, and optimizing video metadata for platform SEO. Designed for content creators, marketing teams, and video producers managing consistent video output across YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other platforms.

Clarify First

Before planning, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

Platform(s) — YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, or Instagram — sets optimal video length and SEO approach
Deliverable — content calendar, thumbnail analysis, or SEO metadata optimization — selects the tool and workflow
Audience & content pillars — who it's for and the pillar mix/ratios — drives calendar topics and formats
Posting frequency — videos per week and planning horizon — sets the production schedule

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.

Quick Start

bash

# Plan a video content calendar from topics and audience data
python scripts/video_content_planner.py topics.json --weeks 8 --frequency 3

# Analyze thumbnail text and composition patterns
python scripts/thumbnail_analyzer.py thumbnails.csv

# Optimize video titles, descriptions, and tags for SEO
python scripts/video_seo_optimizer.py video_data.json --platform youtube

Tools Overview

Tool	Purpose	Input	Output
`video_content_planner.py`	Content calendar generation	JSON with topics/audience	Weekly calendar + production schedule
`thumbnail_analyzer.py`	Thumbnail pattern analysis	CSV with thumbnail data	Optimization recommendations
`video_seo_optimizer.py`	Video metadata SEO	JSON with video details	Optimized titles, descriptions, tags

Workflows

Workflow 1: Monthly Video Strategy

For each planned video, run video_seo_optimizer.py for metadata
After publishing, collect thumbnail data and run thumbnail_analyzer.py
Feed learnings back into next month's planning cycle

Workflow 2: YouTube Channel Optimization

Export existing video data (titles, descriptions, tags, performance)
Run video_seo_optimizer.py on underperforming videos to identify metadata gaps
Run thumbnail_analyzer.py on top vs bottom performers

Run video_content_planner.py with --platforms youtube,tiktok,linkedin
Get platform-adapted content recommendations
Optimize each platform's metadata with video_seo_optimizer.py
