YouTube Shorts

Turn your AI agent into a YouTube Shorts machine.

This skill gives your OpenClaw agent the ability to script, produce, and upload YouTube Shorts directly via the YouTube Data API v3. No manual uploading — your agent handles everything from idea to published Short.

What your agent can do:

• Script writing — Generate hook-driven scripts optimized for short-form (under 60 seconds) • Video production — Combine TTS audio with images/overlays using ffmpeg • Direct upload — Publish Shorts straight to your YouTube channel via API • Metadata management — Titles, descriptions, tags, thumbnails, privacy settings • Channel management — List uploads, update metadata, delete videos • Content strategy — Built-in best practices for Shorts growth

Example commands:

• "Create a YouTube Short about [topic]"
• "Upload this video as a Short"
• "List my recent YouTube uploads"
• "Update the title on my latest Short"
• "Generate 5 Short ideas about AI agents"

Setup:

1. Enable YouTube Data API v3 in Google Cloud Console
2. Create OAuth 2.0 credentials
3. Run the one-time auth flow to get a refresh token
4. Set environment variables and start publishing

What's included:

• Complete SKILL.md with upload workflows
• OAuth setup guide (one-time)
• ffmpeg recipes for video production
• Content strategy framework
• Quota management guidance (~6 uploads/day)

Your agent doesn't just talk — it publishes.
