What it does

Yt Plan is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill. Plan a week or a month of YouTube uploads - what to post, when, and in what order, sized to the creator's actual capacity. Use for "plan my week", "content calendar", "what should I post", "I have no idea what to make next".

Its SKILL.md is about 530 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. It is a single SKILL.md file with no bundled scripts.

It sits in Writing & Content, covering Content strategy. 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

  • Content calendar
  • What should I post
  • I have no idea what to make next

Example prompts

  • “s actual capacity. Use for”
  • “content calendar”
  • “what should I post”
  • “/yt-plan”

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 Plan loads about 525 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 58 tokens; SKILL.md has 330 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~58
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~525

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-plan

A plan that does not fit the week is a list of regrets. Ask two questions before writing anything: how many hours do you actually have, and what is already half-made.

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.

The shape of a week

  • One anchor. The video the week is for. It gets the most time and it goes out on the day the channel's own analytics say is best - ask for that, do not assume Tuesday.
  • One cheap one. Built from something that exists: a clip, a reaction, a follow-up to the comment that got the most replies last week.
  • Shorts from the anchor. Three, cut from the long video, not written separately. /yt-shorts finds them.

Three uploads on a seven-day week, not seven. A plan that posts daily is not a plan anyone recognises, and the empty days are what make the filled ones survive a bad week.

What to hand back

A table: day, format, working title, the one sentence it promises, and what already exists for it. Then the honest line at the bottom - how many hours this costs, and what to drop first if the week goes wrong.

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?
