Publish to YouTube Without Leaving Your AI Assistant
Hand your AI a video and it uploads it to your channel, title and description ready, with a final check before anything goes live.
It uploads a finished video to your YouTube channel with a clean title, full description and the privacy setting you choose, pausing for your approval before it publishes.
Any AI assistant that can read a SKILL.md file (Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex). No separate app, no subscription and no API key needed to run the skill: you just point it at your channel and your video.
Works with
Publish to YouTube turns the last, fiddly step of video production into a single instruction. Instead of opening a browser, dragging a file into the uploader, retyping the title and pasting the description by hand, you drop this SKILL.md into your AI assistant, hand it the finished video and let it publish to YouTube for you. The skill builds a clean title, carries over your description, sets the privacy you want (public, unlisted or private) and, because a live upload cannot be undone, always shows you exactly what it is about to post and waits for your go-ahead. It runs inside Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex, so uploading a video to YouTube becomes part of the same workflow where you already edit, caption and plan your content.
- Ship a finished video to your channel with one instruction instead of a manual upload flow
- Get a clean, ready title and full description attached automatically, no copy and paste
- Choose public, unlisted or private before anything goes live
- See a preview of the exact title, privacy and file before it publishes, then approve or edit
- Keep publishing inside the same AI session where you write, caption and plan
- Cut the browser round trips out of every upload so your videos go out faster
- 1Drop the skill into your assistant
Add the SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor or Codex. There is nothing to install and no API key to paste in to start using it.
- 2Point it at your channel and video
Tell it which YouTube channel to post to and hand it the finished video file. If any detail is missing, such as the title or the privacy setting, it asks you first rather than guessing.
- 3It prepares the upload
The skill assembles a clean, readable title, carries your description into the video and sets the privacy level you asked for (public, unlisted or private).
- 4It shows you a dry run
Before touching your channel it prints exactly what it will publish: the title, the privacy setting and the file. Nothing goes out on this pass.
- 5You approve, then it publishes
Because a public upload cannot be reversed, it waits for your explicit go-ahead. On approval it uploads the video to YouTube and confirms it is live.
- 6You confirm and move on
It hands back the confirmation so you can check the video on your channel and jump straight to your next task in the same session.
- A published YouTube video on the channel you chose
- A clean, ready-to-post video title
- A full video description attached to the upload
- The privacy setting you selected (public, unlisted or private)
- A pre-publish preview of the title, privacy and file for your approval
- A live confirmation once the video is up
Unlisted or private first
Publish as unlisted or private for a review round, then flip to public once the video and thumbnail are set.
Batch of videos
Point it at several finished videos in a row and approve each upload one by one, keeping the same title and description discipline across the set.

What is the Publish to YouTube skill?
It is a SKILL.md file you give to your AI assistant. Once it is in place, you hand the assistant a finished video and it uploads it to your YouTube channel with a clean title, a full description and the privacy setting you choose, showing you a preview before it publishes.
Does it work with Claude, Cursor and Codex?
Yes. It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor and Codex, or any AI assistant that can read a SKILL.md file. The publishing steps are the same across all of them.
Do I need to install anything or hold an API key?
No separate app and no subscription. You drop the SKILL.md into your assistant, tell it which channel to use and point it at your video. You keep control of your own YouTube channel access.
Can I set the video to public, unlisted or private?
Yes. You choose the privacy level before it publishes. A common flow is to upload as unlisted first, review the video, then set it to public.
Will it publish without asking me?
No. Because a public upload cannot be undone, the skill always shows a dry run of the title, privacy and file first, then waits for your explicit approval before it uploads anything.
Do I need editing, design or coding skills to use it?
No. You provide a finished video and the details you want, and the assistant handles the upload steps. There is no code to write and no editing suite to learn.
An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Publish to YouTube is exactly that: a Claude skill / AI agent skill you drop into your own assistant and run on demand, with no app, no subscription and no lock-in. You own the file forever.
It runs in Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, Codex and any assistant that reads a SKILL.md or a system prompt. Because it is just text, it is fully portable, and if it needs something to run, publish to youtube asks you for it first instead of inventing.
Creators reach for it as a podcast clips AI and an AI podcast clip generator, to turn a podcast into Shorts and to pull podcast highlights automatically, finding the best podcast moments without scrubbing the whole episode.
