  • Markdown instructions

    A SKILL.md file the model loads on demand, so it only costs tokens when a request actually matches.

  • Works with any LLM

    AI skills are plain Markdown, not provider-specific code, so this works with GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model.

  • Self-contained

    Everything the model needs lives in the instructions — no extra files to sync.

  • Open source

    Published by Jakeschincariol on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

Install the Yt Seo AI skill in TypingMind to use it with any LLM, or drop it into another agent that reads SKILL.md.

1

Install in TypingMind

TypingMind installs a skill straight from its GitHub folder — it reads SKILL.md, bundles the resource files, and stores the result locally.

  1. Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
  2. Choose "Install from GitHub".
  3. Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
    https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill/tree/main/skills/yt-seo
  4. Enable the skill in any chat where you want it available.
Plugins → Skills → Add skill → From GitHub URL, then paste the folder URL and press Continue.

Install in another agent

Any agent that reads the Agent Skills format can use this skill — copy the folder into that agent's skills directory.

Claude Code — .claude/skills
git clone --depth 1 https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill.git /tmp/youtube-agent-skill
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/youtube-agent-skill/skills/yt-seo .claude/skills/yt-seo
Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Yt Seo in any TypingMind chat and the model takes it from there. Its name and description sit in the system prompt, and the moment a request matches, the model loads the full instructions itself — you never invoke it by hand, and it costs no tokens until it is actually used.

The model loads Yt Seo on its own as soon as a request matches it.

Works with any AI model

AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so Yt Seo is not tied to the model it was written for. Install it once in TypingMind and use it with GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama, or a local model you run yourself — all on your own API keys.

  • Loaded only when it is needed

    The system prompt carries just the name and description. The instructions are fetched on the first matching request, so an idle skill costs nothing.

  • Switch models mid-chat

    Because the skill is instructions rather than code, changing model does not break it — the next model reads the same SKILL.md.

Skill instructions

This is the SKILL.md content the model loads. Read it before installing — a skill is instructions your model will follow.

Search is a smaller lever than packaging and a bigger one than people think for evergreen videos. For a video aimed at the subscriber feed, say so and spend the effort on /yt-package instead.

Before you write

  1. Read ~/.claude/youtube/voice.md if it exists. That is the user's voice profile: how they talk on camera, the words they never use, who they are talking to, what they will not claim. If it does not exist, ask for three of their own videos, read or transcribe them, infer the voice, and write the file. A script in the wrong voice is worse than no script, because they have to read it out loud.
  2. Never invent a number, a result or a source. If a figure would strengthen it and you do not have one, ask for it or write the line without it.

The description

  • The first two lines are the only ones anyone reads. They show above "...more" and they are the search snippet. Say what the video gives them, in the words they would have typed.
  • Then the link or the resource, if there is one, so it is above the fold.
  • Then chapters (/yt-chapters writes them).
  • Then the long version: what is covered, who it is for, what it assumes.

Tags, honestly

Tags are a weak signal and YouTube has said so. Use them for disambiguation - spellings, the tool names, the abbreviations people actually type - and stop. Fifteen is plenty. A wall of tags is not a strategy and stuffing unrelated ones is against the terms.

The query test

Before handing anything over, write the three search queries this video should win, and check the title and first two description lines contain the words in those queries. If they do not, the problem is the title, not the description.

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?

Frequently asked questions

What does the Yt Seo AI skill do?

Write the description, tags and search-facing text for a YouTube video, aimed at the query a real person types. Use for "write my description", "tags", "SEO", "help this video get found", "nobody is finding this".

Why use Yt Seo on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Yt Seo is plain Markdown rather than provider-specific code, so the same skill runs on GPT-5, Claude, Gemini, Grok, or a local model — and you can switch model mid-chat without it breaking. TypingMind runs on your own API keys, so you pay providers directly instead of a per-seat subscription, and your skills and chats stay in your own storage.

How do I install Yt Seo in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/Jakeschincariol/youtube-agent-skill/tree/main/skills/yt-seo. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Yt Seo?

Any model you connect in TypingMind. AI skills are plain Markdown instructions rather than provider-specific code, so GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, and local models can all load this skill when a request matches it.

How many AI models can I use with Yt Seo?

As many as you like. As long as a model supports skills, you can use Yt Seo with it — GPT, Claude, Gemini, Grok, DeepSeek, Mistral, Llama and more — all on TypingMind with your own API keys.

Is the Yt Seo AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by Jakeschincariol under the MIT license. You only pay your own AI provider for the tokens you use.

What are AI skills?

An AI skill is a reusable instruction bundle that teaches an AI model how to do one specific task. It follows the open Agent Skills format: a SKILL.md file with a name and description, plus any scripts, templates or reference files the model may need. The model reads the instructions only when your request matches the skill, so an installed skill costs nothing until it is used.

How are AI skills different from plugins or MCP servers?

A plugin or MCP server gives a model new tools to call — code that runs somewhere and returns a result. An AI skill gives the model knowledge and process instead: how to approach a task, which steps to follow, what good output looks like. Skills are plain Markdown, so they need no server, no API key and no runtime, and they work with any model.
