What it does

Yt Comment is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill. Draft replies to YouTube comments in the creator's voice, triaged by which ones are worth answering. Use for "reply to my comments", "handle the comment section", "someone asked X", or a pasted comment thread.

Its SKILL.md is about 580 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It works with YouTube. The repository describes itself as: Eleven Claude skills that run a YouTube channel: scripts off 21 hook formulas with a scored hook, title and thumbnail linted as one pairing, an edit decision list from your… The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • Reply to my comments
  • Handle the comment section
  • Someone asked X
  • A pasted comment thread

Example prompts

  • “s voice, triaged by which ones are worth answering. Use for”
  • “handle the comment section”
  • “someone asked X”
  • “/yt-comment”

Workflow steps

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

  1. Read ~/.claude/youtube/voice.md if it exists. That is the user's voice profile: how they talk
  2. Never invent a number, a result or a source. If a figure would strengthen it and you do not have

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit a2feb21. 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

Yt Comment loads about 576 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 55 tokens; SKILL.md has 361 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~55
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~576

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.

Draft replies to YouTube comments in the creator's voice, triaged by which ones are worth answering. Use for "reply to my comments", "handle the comment section", "someone asked X", or a pasted comment thread.

yt-comment

The comment section is a retention surface, not a chore. Replies in the first few hours are what decide whether a thread becomes a conversation other people read.

Before you write

  1. Read ~/.claude/youtube/voice.md if it exists. That is the user's voice profile: how they talk on camera, the words they never use, who they are talking to, what they will not claim. If it does not exist, ask for three of their own videos, read or transcribe them, infer the voice, and write the file. A script in the wrong voice is worse than no script, because they have to read it out loud.
  2. Never invent a number, a result or a source. If a figure would strengthen it and you do not have one, ask for it or write the line without it.

Triage first, always

Sort what the user pastes into four piles and say how many are in each before writing anything:

  1. Questions - answer them. These are your next video's topics, so note the repeats.
  2. Corrections - if they are right, say so plainly and thank them. Never argue a fact you cannot check.
  3. Praise - reply to a few, briefly, with something specific from their comment. A wall of identical "thank you!" replies reads as automated because it is.
  4. Bait - do not reply. Say so and move on. Never write a comeback, however deserved.

Writing the reply

  • Under 30 words. A long reply in a comment thread is a blog post nobody asked for.
  • Answer the actual question in the first sentence.
  • One question back, only when it is real.
  • No emoji unless the user's own replies use them. Check their voice file.
  • Never promise a video you have not agreed to make.

The heart and the pin

Say which ONE comment to pin and why. Pin the question the most people also have, not the nicest one. Heart generously - it costs nothing and it is visible.

The gate

Nothing here publishes. This skill writes and you publish. Every output ends in a block the user copies, and the last line of every run is the question: ship it, or change it?
