It assumes the browser profile is already authenticated. ## Use This Skill When - the user wants to publish a YouTube Short through OpenClaw - the short was assembled from Midjourney visuals, Suno audio, or local edits and that provenance should stay in the same bundle - you need one clean record of upload, checks, visibility, and final URL - the same YouTube Studio workflow keeps getting repeated from memory - a failed publish needs screenshots, expected-versus-actual steps, and a reusable report - the run should stay visible instead of hidden background automation ## Quick Start 1. Initialize the run manifest. - Use `python3 {baseDir}/scripts/init_youtube_creator_run.py --out --run-id --channel --goal `. - Add `--browser-profile`, `--stage dry_run|live`, `--visibility`, `--video-file`, `--title`, repeatable `--asset-source`, repeatable `--provenance`, and repeatable `--surface` fields. - Recommended asset source labels: - `visual:midjourney:` - `audio:suno:` - `edit::` - Recommended structured provenance JSON: - `{"role":"visual","provider":"midjourney","asset_id":"job-123","source_url":"https://midjourney.com/jobs/job-123","prompt_ref":"board-a","model":"v7","license":"internal-review","public_credits_required":false}` - `{"role":"audio","provider":"suno","asset_id":"track-04","source_url":"https://suno.com/song/track-04","prompt_ref":"chorus-a","model":"v4","license":"creator-plan","attribution_text":"Music draft from Suno.","public_credits_required":true}` 2. Execute the YouTube Studio flow through OpenClaw. - Open the Studio page in a logged-in profile. - Record each meaningful step with `append_youtube_creator_step.py`. - Capture screenshots and public URLs as the run progresses. 3. Default to `dry_run`. - Keep the manifest in `dry_run` stage until the final publish click is intentionally approved. - Switch to `live` only when the user wants the run to reach a public or unlisted post. 4. Pause for manual auth if needed. - If YouTube shows CAPTCHA, passkey, login, or 2FA, stop the automated step log and let the user complete it in the same browser profile. - Resume only after the authenticated Studio session is back. 5. Check the bundle before sharing it. - Use `python3 {baseDir}/scripts/check_youtube_creator_bundle.py --manifest --repo-root --out `. - Fix missing screenshots, incomplete failed steps, or private/absolute asset paths before sharing the bundle. 6. Render the report. - Use `python3 {baseDir}/scripts/render_youtube_creator_report.py --manifest --out `. - The default report keeps only public YouTube, Midjourney, and Suno URLs and redacts browser profile labels, private artifact paths, and non-public URLs found inside step text or provenance notes. - Share the report instead of loose screenshots and chat fragments. ## Operating Rules ### Profile rules - Use a logged-in browser profile dedicated to the publishing context when possible. - Do not claim a run is autonomous if login, CAPTCHA, passkey, or 2FA still requires a manual step. - Keep the publish run in one visible browser session. - Treat the final publish click as a deliberate user-approved action, even when the earlier steps are automated. ### Publish rules - Record expected result and actual result for every step that matters. - Capture a screenshot for failed or blocked steps and important checkpoints. - Store final published URL when the run succeeds. - Record upstream asset provenance when Midjourney, Suno, CapCut, or another editor was part of the content chain. - If public credits or attribution are required for Midjourney, Suno, or another provider, keep that text in provenance and make sure the publish metadata includes it where needed. - Prefer relative artifact paths so the bundle can move between machines. ### Safety rules - Do not store cookies, secrets, or access tokens in notes or artifacts. - Do not use private absolute filesystem paths in the final bundle. - Treat moderation delays and post-processing lag as publish outcomes to record, not as silent success. ## Bundled Scripts - `scripts/init_youtube_creator_run.py` - Create a machine-readable manifest for one YouTube publish run. - `scripts/append_youtube_creator_step.py` - Append one publish step to the manifest. - `scripts/check_youtube_creator_bundle.py` - Validate the resulting run bundle before sharing or final review. - `scripts/render_youtube_creator_report.py` - Render a concise markdown report from the publish manifest.
