# Upload, title, chapter and track videos on a YouTube channel (/youtube-channel)

Run a solo founder's YouTube channel from the terminal — upload through the YouTube Data API, subtitles as tracks, thumbnails, publish, bulk hide, link Shorts to the long video, and read the…

## Prompt

```text
/youtube-channel upload {file.mp4}

Title under 60 characters, a description that starts with the real shooting date, chapters from the transcript, playlist {name}. Publish as private first; after I have watched it on a phone, switch to public.
```

## Install

```sh
npx skills add fortunto2/solo-factory/youtube-channel
```

## Steps

1. Install the skill into Claude Code with the line above (or all of solo-factory: npx skills add fortunto2/solo-factory --all).
2. Run it when: A finished film should go up with the right metadata and be watched afterwards.
3. The skill asks for what it needs and writes its output into the project; read the summary it prints before trusting the files.

## Example

General principles for running a YouTube channel with an agent: what to check before an upload, how the API behaves, how Shorts and long videos feed each other, and how to turn analytics into decisions. Learned on a real channel over a month of daily uploads; every rule below cost a mistake first.

## Tips

- Source and the full instructions: github.com/fortunto2/solo-factory/tree/main/skills/youtube-channel (v1.0.0).
- Skills are prompts, not programs: read SKILL.md once, then you know exactly what the agent will do.

## Works with

- Claude Code: Runs as a skill or a prompt in the terminal; can read your files and write the result.
