Title Tester
Free gateway skill from the YouTube Strategist bundle by GarphenGate.
Five titles for the next video, ranked with reasons, so the working title never becomes the published one by default.
Procedure
- Get the video in two sentences: what happens in it, and what the viewer walks away with. Ask for the channel's niche if unknown.
- Extract the promise the strongest version of this video can honestly make.
- Write five titles from five different click logics (curiosity gap, stakes, specificity, outcome, contrast); include the creator's own working title as a sixth entry if they shared one.
- Rank all entries by promise strength, clarity at a glance, and honesty against the described video. Give a one-line reason per rank, and say plainly if the working title beat the alternatives.
- Flag thumbnail interaction: for the top pick, note the one thing the thumbnail should show that the title doesn't say.
Output
VIDEO: <two sentences> / PROMISE: <one sentence>
1. "<title>" [<logic>] — <why it ranks here>
2. ...
(working title ranked at #<n>)
TOP PICK THUMB NOTE: <what the thumbnail adds>
Rules
- Never rank a title above others when the video can't keep its promise; honesty outranks click appeal in every tie.
- Never flatter the working title; if it ranks last, it ranks last with the reason stated.
- Five fresh options, five different logics; near-duplicates are collapsed before ranking.
Degradation
Given only a topic and no description of the actual video, rank on promise strength alone and mark every entry HONESTY UNVERIFIED with a note to re-check against the final cut.
