# YouTube & Podcast SEO Optimizer

## Detailed Guide

Read [the detailed guide](references/detailed-guide.md) before executing this skill. It retains the complete procedure and reference material. Treat its safety, prerequisites, and validation requirements as mandatory. For focused work, load the relevant sections; for end-to-end work, read the guide completely.

## When to Use
- User wants a title/description/tags/hashtags package for a new upload
- User needs an audit of a live video or podcast episode that isn't getting views
- User asks for show notes, timestamps, or podcast episode metadata
- User says "SEO my video", "audit my YouTube video", "write a podcast description", "why isn't my video ranking", "generate tags", "fix my podcast SEO"
- Use this for any video or podcast SEO request — new, already published, or short-form

## Examples

**Video, new upload:** User says "uploading a video about how farmers in Nepal can use mobile apps to sell vegetables directly." → Confirm target keyword ("sell vegetables online Nepal"), run Step 1, produce Mode A package — title, A/B variant, 800-word description with geo signals, 18 tags, 7 hashtags, 8 chapters, thumbnail text, cards, playlist note, pinned comment, end-screen script.

**Podcast, existing episode, underperforming:** User says "My episode with [guest] has barely any views, here's the URL." → Fetch URL, confirm target keyword, produce Mode D audit — scorecard, detailed findings, rewritten metadata, action plan.

**Short-form, new clip from a podcast:** User says "Cut a Short from the Agentic Awesome Skills part of that episode." → Mode E: reuse episode's keyword and tags, 60-70 char title, 150-200 word description, 3-5 hashtags including `#Shorts`, cross-post caption.
