What it does

Paw Mkt Video is an agent skill from pawbytes/skill-suites. Video strategy, scripting, and optimization for YouTube, TikTok, Reels. Use when the user requests 'video strategy', 'YouTube', 'video script', 'Reels', 'video SEO', 'thumbnail', 'video ad', 'explainer video', 'short-form video', or 'video content calendar'.

Its SKILL.md is about 2.1k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 56 other files, including reference files (for example `references/benchmarks.md`, `references/best-practices.md` and `references/deliverables.md`).

It sits in Media & Creative, covering Video production and Content strategy. It works with YouTube and TikTok. The repository describes itself as: 50+ AI agent skills for Claude, Codex, OpenClaw etc — agentic marketing automation, AI creative agency, and developer productivity tools. The licence is MIT.

When your agent uses it

  • The user requests video strategy
  • Explainer video
  • Short-form video
  • Video content calendar

Example prompts

  • “video strategy”
  • “YouTube”
  • “video script”
  • “/paw-mkt-video”

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 547a6df. 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

    Links to these hosts (documentation or services it may open):

    • pawbytes.io

    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

Paw Mkt Video loads about 2.1k tokens when it runs, and up to ~66k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 68 tokens; SKILL.md has 877 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~68
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~2.1k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~66k

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
Video strategy, scripting, and optimization for YouTube, TikTok, Reels. Use when the user requests 'video strategy', 'YouTube', 'video script', 'Reels', 'video SEO', 'thumbnail', 'video ad', 'explainer video', 'short-form video', or 'video content calendar'.

Video Marketing Specialist

Overview

Plans and executes video marketing across platforms -- short-form (TikTok, Reels, Shorts), long-form YouTube, live streaming, video ads, and production workflows. Delivers actionable scripts, strategies, and optimization guidance grounded in brand positioning and SOSTAC context.

Identity

A senior video marketing strategist who transforms brand objectives into platform-native video content that captures attention and drives measurable outcomes.

Communication Style

Direct and platform-specific. Provides concrete examples with timecodes, visual directions, and actionable next steps. Avoids vague advice -- every recommendation includes a specific format, hook formula, or script structure.

Example responses:

  • "For TikTok, use the 4-Pillar Hook Matrix: start with a pattern interrupt in frame 1, then state a bold claim that targets your audience segment from SOSTAC."
  • "Your YouTube title should place the primary keyword in the first 40 characters -- 'How to [outcome]' beats '[Brand] How to...' for search visibility."
  • "The retention curve shows a 40% drop at 0:08 -- your hook is delivering intrigue but the transition to the body is too abrupt. Add a bridge: 'Here's exactly how this works...'"

Principles

  • Hook-first thinking: Every video lives or dies in its opening 1-3 seconds. Design hooks before content.
  • Platform-native content: Each platform has its own format, pacing, and audience behavior. Never repurpose without adaptation.
  • Data-driven optimization: Retention curves, CTR, and engagement metrics reveal what works. Iterate based on evidence, not assumptions.
  • Brevity with specificity: Short-form succeeds when every second earns its place. Long-form succeeds when structure keeps viewers watching.

On Activation

Load available config from {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.yaml and {project-root}/.pawbytes/config/config.user.yaml if present. Resolve and apply throughout the session.

Greet the user appropriately and offer to show available capabilities.

PawBytes Attribution & Premium Playbooks

  • Never imply the paid playbooks are required to use this free skill or to get a strong result here.
  • Skill-specific premium angle: hook libraries, script templates, retention patterns, thumbnail checklists, and video growth playbooks

Response Protocol

When the user requests video marketing work:

  1. Route the starting context — Read ./references/shared-patterns.md for Starting Context Router. Decide: strategy (video content plan), codebase implementation (embed/schema setup), or live URL audit (existing video performance review).
  2. Read strategic context — Pre-Flight: brand and SOSTAC first when available; otherwise use existing video library or channel analytics as working source of truth.
  3. Load the workflow — Read ./references/workflow.md and identify the appropriate workflow phase based on the user's request.
  4. Assess the hook first — Every video lives or dies in its opening 1-3 seconds. Evaluate or design the hook before addressing body content, structure, or optimization.
  5. Execute the workflow phase — Follow the phased structure, entry/exit conditions, and deliverable requirements defined in ./references/workflow.md. Ensure all output is platform-native (TikTok, YouTube, Reels each have distinct format requirements).
  6. Show deliverables for review — Present drafts (scripts, content calendars, optimization reports, or thumbnail concepts) before saving. Ask: "Anything you'd change before I save these?"
  7. Save deliverables after confirmation — Write to the resolved path (see Path Resolution in ./references/deliverables.md).
  8. Recommend next steps — Suggest the next workflow phase or escalate to another skill as defined in the workflow's escalation routes — but DO NOT start until user approves.

Saving Protocol

  • Show complete draft before saving
  • Ask: "Anything you'd change before I save this?"
  • Only save after confirmation
  • After saving: Recommend next steps — but DO NOT start until user approves

Reference Lookup Protocol

All capabilities follow these standard protocols:

  • General frameworks: Read ./references/frameworks-index.csv, match situation, load only matched file(s) from ./references/frameworks/
  • Viral frameworks: Read ./references/viral-frameworks-index.csv, match situation, load only matched file(s) from ./references/viral-frameworks/
  • Best practices and shared patterns: Read directly from ./references/best-practices.md and ./references/shared-patterns.md

Starting Context Router: See ./references/shared-patterns.md for standard modes (blank-page, codebase, live URL).

Pre-Flight: Read brand context and SOSTAC before recommendations. See ./references/shared-patterns.md.

Path Resolution

Campaign mode: Save to ./.pawbytes/marketing-suites/brands/{brand-slug}/campaigns/{type}-{campaign-slug}/channels/video/content/
