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

Installation

Install the Youtube Publish 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/vanillagreencom/kendex/tree/main/.agents/skills/youtube-publish
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/vanillagreencom/kendex.git /tmp/kendex
mkdir -p .claude/skills
cp -r /tmp/kendex/.agents/skills/youtube-publish .claude/skills/youtube-publish

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

Use it in TypingMind

Enable Youtube Publish 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 Publish 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 Publish 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.

Project Instructions

Problems with a kendex-owned skill go through kendex report; check ownership in the file first.

YouTube publish

Use Python 3.8 or newer. The executable is scripts/youtube-publish under this installed skill.

Consumer setup

The consumer supplies YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID and YOUTUBE_APPROVER_EMAIL in the command environment. The email identifies the user who can approve a request on Linear.
The consumer supplies YOUTUBE_ACCESS_TOKEN through a private credential route. Keep the OAuth client, its secret, refresh token and access token outside the package and version control. An API key does not authorize uploads or comments.
Use the consumer's OAuth client with youtube.upload and youtube.readonly for uploads and their channel check. Use youtube.force-ssl for comments and replies. The consumer's authorization tool owns token acquisition, renewal and revocation. The script checks the token's channel with channels.list before a write. See authorization and channel lookup.
The installed Linear skill supplies live tracker reads. Its configured credentials must be able to read the consumer's tracker item and comment authors.

Draft and approval

To draft an upload, comment or reply, or to send a draft after its recorded approval, follow workflows/publish.md.

Each draft prints an approval_record object. The user records their explicit yes by posting that object as the entire comment body on the named Linear item. The comment must come from YOUTUBE_APPROVER_EMAIL. A caller's assertion or an agent-authored approval is insufficient.
Run publish --draft PATH only after that yes. The sending path reads the tracker item and comments live. It checks the author, decision, item and digest before any YouTube request. A changed draft or changed video needs a new approval.
A failed or interrupted write can have an uncertain result. Stop and check the channel with the user before any new attempt. Do not repeat a successful request or reuse its approval for another send.

Consent and spam

YouTube requires specific express consent before uploads, comments and other actions. Identify the channel and visibility settings before consent. OAuth permission alone does not approve a particular send. Follow Developer Policies III.E.3 and III.I.2.
YouTube prohibits spam, harassment and disruptive commercial messages. Approval does not permit those actions. Draft a relevant comment or reply for its named recipient. Do not use repeated unsolicited promotion or bulk comment campaigns. Follow Developer Policies III.I.11 and III.I.20.
Report the returned visibility. Do not claim that a video became public from the requested setting alone. See upload response.

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 Publish AI skill do?

Load to draft a YouTube upload, comment or reply, or send a draft after the user's recorded approval.

Why use Youtube Publish on TypingMind?

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

Open Plugins → Skills → Install from GitHub in TypingMind and paste https://github.com/vanillagreencom/kendex/tree/main/.agents/skills/youtube-publish. 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 Publish?

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 Publish?

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

Is the Youtube Publish AI skill free?

Yes. It is published on GitHub by vanillagreencom 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.
