What it does
Yt Viral is an agent skill from Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill. Find what is actually working in the user's niche on YouTube and rank it by how far each video beat its own channel, then name the formula. Use for "what's working right now", "find viral videos in my niche", "why did this blow up", competitor research, or a swipe file.
Its SKILL.md is about 440 tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 1 other file (for example `swipe.py`).
It sits in Marketing & SEO, covering Competitor analysis. 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
- Whats working right now
- Find viral videos in my niche
- Why did this blow up
- Competitor research
Example prompts
- “s working right now”
- “find viral videos in my niche”
- “why did this blow up”
- “/yt-viral”
Requirements
- Python 3
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
Ships script files (Python), which the agent can run.
Shell commands in SKILL.md call:
python3yt-dlp
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 Viral loads about 437 tokens when it runs. Until then it costs about 70 tokens; SKILL.md has 218 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.

- description
- Find what is actually working in the user's niche on YouTube and rank it by how far each video beat its own channel, then name the formula. Use for "what's working right now", "find viral videos in my niche", "why did this blow up", competitor research, or a swipe file.
yt-viral
Raw view counts rank channel size, not ideas. This ranks by multiple over each channel's own median, which is the only version of the question that is about the video.
python3 swipe.py collected.json --min 2.0Collecting the input
You need at least four videos per channel or a median means nothing, and the tool will skip the
channel and tell you it did. Collect them however the user prefers - yt-dlp --flat-playlist -J
against a channel URL is the fastest, the public page works, a manual list works.
[{"channel":"...","title":"...","views":412000,"url":"...","duration":613}]Read, do not scrape. Public listings only, never a logged-in session, never the user's own account credentials.
Reading the output
The multiple is the signal. The formula line is a judgement about the TITLE, matched against the 21 formulas - it is not a claim about why the video worked, and you should say so when you present it.
What to hand back: the top five with their multiples, the formula each used, and the ONE structural thing they share. Then the harder line - which of those the user could actually make this week, in their voice, with what they have.
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?
