What it does
Yt Competitive Analysis is an agent skill from ericosiu/ai-marketing-skills. Analyze YouTube channels for outlier videos and packaging patterns. Identifies what's working (2x+ average views) across any set of channels. Use when asked for YouTube competitive analysis, viral video patterns, or packaging/title inspiration.
Its SKILL.md is about 830 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 3 other files (for example `README.md` and `analyze.py`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Competitor analysis. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Open-source AI marketing skills — growth experiments, sales pipeline, content ops, outbound, SEO, and finance automation. The licence is MIT.
When your agent uses it
- Asked for YouTube competitive analysis
- Viral video patterns
- Packaging/title inspiration
Example prompts
- “/yt-competitive-analysis”
Requirements
- Python 3
- A credential in YOUTUBE_API_KEY
Workflow steps
4 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.
- Log video ID, title, thumbnail concept, hook, topic bucket, retention devices, and publish date.
- Pull analytics after the chosen readback window.
- Compare baseline vs candidate.
- Patch title formulas, thumbnail rules, hook patterns, retention beats, chapter structure, Shorts selection, or repurposing guidance only…
What it can do on your machine
Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8088e1a. 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 script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3
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 these keys or tokens, usually read from environment variables:
YOUTUBE_API_KEY
From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.
Context cost
Yt Competitive Analysis loads about 825 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 67 tokens; SKILL.md has 352 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.
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); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

- yt-competitive-analysis
- description
- Analyze YouTube channels for outlier videos and packaging patterns. Identifies what's working (2x+ average views) across any set of channels. Use when asked for YouTube competitive analysis, viral video patterns, or packaging/title inspiration.
YouTube Competitive Analysis
Outlier detection and packaging pattern extraction for YouTube channels.
When to Use
- User asks for YouTube competitive analysis
- User wants to find viral video patterns
- User wants packaging/title inspiration from specific creators
- User wants to track competitor YouTube performance
Prerequisites
- YouTube Data API v3 key set as
$YOUTUBE_API_KEY
Usage
# Analyze specific channels
python3 analyze.py "$YOUTUBE_API_KEY" --channels "@handle1,@handle2" --days 30
# Use predefined sets
python3 analyze.py "$YOUTUBE_API_KEY" --set ai
python3 analyze.py "$YOUTUBE_API_KEY" --set business
python3 analyze.py "$YOUTUBE_API_KEY" --set both
# Export formats
python3 analyze.py "$YOUTUBE_API_KEY" --set both --output json
python3 analyze.py "$YOUTUBE_API_KEY" --set both --output consolePredefined Channel Sets
AI Creators: Jeff Su, Alex Finn, Riley Brown, Dan Martell, Matt Wolfe, Nate Herk, Grace Leung, Matt Berman
Business Creators: Alex Hormozi, Gary Vaynerchuk, Patrick Bet-David, Codie Sanchez, Leila Hormozi, Iman Gadzhi, My First Million
Output Interpretation
- Multiplier: Times above channel average (2.0x = double normal)
- Outlier threshold: 2x average. Study anything above this.
- Title patterns: Common words in outlier titles indicate proven formats
- Cadence: Videos per week. Higher cadence creators may have lower per-video averages.
Channel Analytics Feedback Loop
Competitive analysis is only half the loop. When you have access to the channel's own analytics, compare candidate packaging against actual performance after publish.
Before recommending a package:
- Pull channel baseline by topic, title pattern, thumbnail pattern, length, publish day/time, and format.
- Check impressions, CTR, average view duration, retention curve, watch time, subscribers gained, comments, and traffic source.
- Compare the proposed title/thumbnail/hook against similar historical videos and competitor outliers.
After publishing:
- Log video ID, title, thumbnail concept, hook, topic bucket, retention devices, and publish date.
- Pull analytics after the chosen readback window.
- Compare baseline vs candidate.
- Patch title formulas, thumbnail rules, hook patterns, retention beats, chapter structure, Shorts selection, or repurposing guidance only if the candidate wins.
Show full SKILL.md (97 more words)Show less
Readback windows:
- 24-48 hours for CTR and early retention
- 7 days for average view duration and watch time
- 28 days for topic durability and subscriber gain
Do not call packaging validated until analytics are checked. Otherwise it is a screenplay wearing a lab coat.
Packaging Skeletons (Proven Formats)
Long-form:
- "X, Clearly Explained"
- "X hours of Y in Z minutes"
- "The Laziest Way to X"
- "Give me X minutes and I'll Y"
- "X INSANE Use Cases for Y"
Shorts:
- "2024 vs 2025 X" (year comparison)
- "Bad Good Great X" (tier ranking)
- "Stop doing X, do Y instead" (contrarian)
