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.
1 bundled files
Scripts, templates, and references the model can read while it works. Files are read-only and never executed.
Open source
Published by kevinbadi on GitHub. Read the source before you install it.

Installation

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

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.

Open the app and go to Plugins → Skills.
Choose "Install from GitHub".
Paste the skill folder URL below and confirm.
https://github.com/kevinbadi/ai-os-skills/tree/main/youtube-upload
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/kevinbadi/ai-os-skills.git /tmp/ai-os-skills
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/ai-os-skills/youtube-upload .claude/skills/youtube-upload

Restart Claude Code after copying so it picks up the new skill.

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Youtube Upload 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 Youtube Upload 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 Youtube Upload 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.

YouTube Upload

Upload video files to YouTube via Studio browser automation against a logged-in Chrome session.

Prerequisites

Clawdbot installed (script auto-starts browser if needed)
Logged into YouTube Studio in the browser session
ws npm package available

Quick Usage

Public upload with title and description

bash
node skills/youtube-upload/scripts/youtube-upload.js \
  --video /path/to/video.mp4 \
  --title "My Video Title" \
  --description "Video description here"

Unlisted upload

bash
node skills/youtube-upload/scripts/youtube-upload.js \
  --video /path/to/video.mp4 \
  --title "Draft Video" \
  --visibility unlisted

Private upload

bash
node skills/youtube-upload/scripts/youtube-upload.js \
  --video /path/to/video.mp4 \
  --title "Private Draft" \
  --visibility private

Options

Flag	Required	Default	Description
`--video`	Yes	—	Path to video file
`--title`	Yes	—	Video title (max 100 chars)
`--description`	No	empty	Video description (supports newlines)
`--visibility`	No	`public`	`public`, `unlisted`, or `private`
`--cdp-port`	No	`18800`	Chrome CDP port

Output

stdout: YouTube URL (e.g. https://youtu.be/abc123) or UPLOAD_SUCCESS_NO_URL
stderr: Progress messages
Exit 0: Success
Exit 1: Error

How It Works

Connects to Chrome via CDP, navigates to YouTube Studio
Clicks "Upload videos" to open the upload dialog
Uploads video via DOM.setFileInputFiles
Sets title via focus + Input.insertText
Sets description via focus + Input.insertText
Selects "Not made for kids"
Clicks Next 3 times (Details → Video elements → Checks → Visibility)
Selects visibility (Public/Unlisted/Private)
Clicks Publish (or Save for Private)
Extracts and returns the YouTube URL

Pipeline Example: Veo + YouTube

Generate a video and upload it in one pipeline:

bash
VIDEO=$(node skills/veo-video/scripts/veo-generate.js \
  --prompt "Kev's Assistant coding at a desk" \
  --image-prompt "20yo guy, brown wavy hair, dark grey tee, at a modern desk with monitors" \
  --output kevs-clip.mp4)

node skills/youtube-upload/scripts/youtube-upload.js \
  --video "$VIDEO" \
  --title "Kev's Assistant Vibe Coding" \
  --description "AI-generated content by Kev's Assistant at CreatorOS"

Troubleshooting

Upload dialog not opening: YouTube Studio may have popups or banners blocking — dismiss them first
Title not set: The title input selector may change — check for [aria-label*="title"]
Video URL not found: The youtu.be link appears in the publish confirmation dialog — timing may vary
"Not made for kids" not clicking: Radio button selectors differ across YouTube Studio versions

Bundled files

The model reads these on demand while the skill is loaded. They are exposed as readable files and are never executed.

Frequently asked questions

What does the Youtube Upload AI skill do?

Why use Youtube Upload on TypingMind?

Because you install it once and use it with any model. Youtube Upload 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 Youtube Upload in TypingMind?

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/kevinbadi/ai-os-skills/tree/main/youtube-upload. TypingMind reads its SKILL.md and bundles its files and installs it as a skill you can enable per chat.

Which AI models can use Youtube Upload?

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 Youtube Upload?

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

Is the Youtube Upload AI skill free?

It is published on GitHub by kevinbadi. Check the repository for licensing terms. 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.
