Video Description

This skill helps you create engaging, platform-optimized video descriptions. It synthesizes information from a video transcript and any provided supplementary context (like a blog post or technical specifications).

Sequential Workflow

Follow these steps to generate a high-quality description:

  1. Analyze Source Material: Read the video transcript and any supplementary documents. Identify key topics, keywords, and calls to action.
  2. Determine Platform: Identify the target platform (e.g., YouTube, Instagram, TikTok). If not specified, default to a general SEO-friendly format.
  3. Select Template: Choose an appropriate template from TEMPLATES.md based on the video type and platform.
  4. Draft Description: Create the description using the selected template.
    • Point of View: Always use first-person singular ("I", "my") instead of "we" or "our".
    • Relevance: Ensure the first few lines contain the most critical information and keywords.
  5. Add Metadata: Include timestamps (if identifiable in the transcript), relevant links, and social CTA.
    • Hashtags: Limit to exactly 5 of the most relevant ones with broad appeal.
  6. Validate: Run the scripts/validate.py script to ensure the description meets platform-agnostic formatting standards.
