What This Skill Does

The youtube-manager skill provides an all-in-one solution for YouTube channel creators and brand managers to streamline their digital presence. It functions as a robust interface between OpenClaw and the YouTube Data API, enabling seamless automation of the content lifecycle. From the initial ingestion of raw video files to the final distribution, the skill handles complex metadata configuration, including titles, optimized descriptions, and thumbnail management. Beyond publishing, it serves as a sophisticated analytics engine, allowing users to pull deep-dive metrics on channel growth, individual video engagement, and audience retention. Users can leverage this skill to automate routine data gathering, convert raw statistics into professional reports, and maintain a consistent pulse on their channel's performance without manual dashboard fatigue.

Installation

To integrate the youtube-manager skill into your OpenClaw environment, ensure you have your YouTube Data API v3 credentials prepared. Once ready, execute the following command in your terminal:

clawhub install openclaw/skills/skills/chao980/youtube-manager-smb

After installation, follow the prompts within the agent to authenticate your YouTube account using OAuth2 to grant the necessary read/write permissions for your channel operations.

Use Cases

This skill is designed for high-frequency creators, digital marketing agencies, and media teams. Common use cases include:

• Automating the scheduling of daily or weekly video uploads across multiple channels.
• Generating automated weekly performance summaries for stakeholders in PDF or Word formats.
• Monitoring sudden spikes or drops in video performance to refine SEO and content strategies.
• Bulk management of metadata, tags, and visibility settings for large video libraries.

Example Prompts

• "Can you help me upload my latest vlog titled 'AI Trends 2024' and set it to private until I add the thumbnail?"

Tips & Limitations

To maximize effectiveness, ensure your video metadata is structured clearly before requesting uploads. Keep in mind that this skill respects YouTube's Terms of Service; it cannot be used to inflate metrics, bypass age restrictions, or ignore copyright policies. Additionally, ensure you have appropriate storage permissions if requesting report exports in specific document formats. The tool works best when combined with consistent content planning.
