What it does

Youtube Viral Optimizer is an agent skill from infranodus/skills. Generate high-CTR YouTube thumbnails, titles, and video scripts optimized for virality. Use when the user asks to create YouTube video titles, thumbnail text/concepts, video scripts, optimize existing titles for CTR, analyze why a video isn't performing, or needs help making content more clickable. Covers thumbnail wording, title copywriting, video script structuring (Pattern Interrupt → Hook → Framing → Curiosity Loop → Escalation → Payoff → Relevance Bridge → Loop Reopen), and YouTube algorithm optimization.

Its SKILL.md is about 3.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 4 other files, including reference files (for example `references/ctr-rules-detailed.md`, `references/graph-to-script.md` and `references/script-structure.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video scripts and shorts and Copywriting. It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Skills to augment LLM thinking process, integrated with InfraNodus insight generation tool.

When your agent uses it

  • The user asks to create YouTube video titles
  • Thumbnail text/concepts
  • Optimize existing titles for CTR
  • Analyze why a video isnt performing

Example prompts

  • “/youtube-viral-optimizer”

Workflow steps

4 steps, taken from the step headings in SKILL.md.

  1. Analyze Search Intent
  2. Map Search Results
  3. Find Content Gaps
  4. Generate Gap-Targeting Titles

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 8a2a909. 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

    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.

  • 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

Youtube Viral Optimizer loads about 3.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~13k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 135 tokens; SKILL.md has 1,539 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~135
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~3.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~13k

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.
