01
Install it
Run the command above, or upload the folder in Claude.
02
Ask naturally
Describe the task. Your agent loads yt-viral when the request matches its description.
03
Name it if needed
If it does not trigger, say “use the yt-viral skill”. In Codex, type $yt-viral.
yt-viral
Raw view counts rank channel size, not ideas. This ranks by multiple over each channel's own median, which is the only version of the question that is about the video.
python3 swipe.py collected.json --min 2.0
Collecting the input
You need at least four videos per channel or a median means nothing, and the tool will skip the
channel and tell you it did. Collect them however the user prefers - yt-dlp --flat-playlist -J
against a channel URL is the fastest, the public page works, a manual list works.
[{"channel":"...","title":"...","views":412000,"url":"...","duration":613}]
Read, do not scrape. Public listings only, never a logged-in session, never the user's own account credentials.
Reading the output
The multiple is the signal. The formula line is a judgement about the TITLE, matched against the 21 formulas - it is not a claim about why the video worked, and you should say so when you present it.
What to hand back: the top five with their multiples, the formula each used, and the ONE structural thing they share. Then the harder line - which of those the user could actually make this week, in their voice, with what they have.
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?
