Video SEO is the difference between a great video that nobody finds and one that gets clicked, watched, and ranked. This skill is a single SKILL.md file you drop into your own AI assistant, and it handles YouTube video optimization end to end: it reads your transcript or notes, then writes a title that leads with the search keyword, a description packed with the right terms and hashtags, and a tight set of tags. Because it acts as a YouTube title generator and description writer grounded in your real content, nothing is invented or generic. You paste the output straight into YouTube Studio and publish.

What you gain
  • Titles that lead with the search term people actually type, written to earn the click without clickbait
  • Keyword-rich descriptions with hashtags, so your video is easier to find and rank
  • A ready-to-use set of 15 to 20 tags matched to your topic, no guesswork
  • Copy grounded in your real video content, so nothing is generic or off-topic
  • Output formatted to paste straight into YouTube Studio, no reformatting needed
  • A repeatable process for every upload, so your whole channel stays optimized
How it works, step by step
  • 1
    Drop the skill into your AI assistant

    Add the single SKILL.md file to Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, or Codex. There is nothing to install and no account to create; your assistant reads the file and gains the capability.

  • 2
    Give it your video content

    Paste in your transcript, your script, or a short summary of the video. The more it knows about what the video actually says, the sharper the title, description, and tags will be.

  • 3
    It asks for anything it needs

    If the topic, target keyword, or audience is unclear, the skill asks a quick question before writing, so the output matches your goal instead of guessing.

  • 4
    It writes the full SEO package

    It produces a click-worthy title that leads with your search keyword, a keyword-rich description with relevant hashtags, and 15 to 20 focused tags, all deliberately built so the title and thumbnail concept do not repeat each other.

  • 5
    Review and refine in seconds

    Ask for a punchier title, a longer description, or different tags. It rewrites on the spot until the package fits your channel voice.

  • 6
    Paste into YouTube Studio and publish

    Copy the finished title, description, and tags directly into Studio. No cleanup, no reformatting, ready to go live.

What it generates
  • A click-worthy YouTube video title with the search keyword up front
  • A keyword-rich video description with relevant hashtags
  • A curated list of 15 to 20 tags matched to the video topic
  • A single file formatted for copy-and-paste into YouTube Studio
  • Optional title variations to A/B test the click-through rate
Variations

Full channel pass

Run the skill across a backlog of past uploads to refresh weak titles, descriptions, and tags on videos that already exist but are not getting found.

Title-only mode

Already happy with your description and tags? Ask it to act purely as a YouTube title generator and hand back several strong title options to choose from.

Series and playlist consistency

Feed it a series of related videos so the SEO packages share keywords and framing, helping the whole playlist rank together.

FAQ
What is the Video SEO skill?

It is a SKILL.md file you add to your AI assistant that turns any video into a ready-to-paste YouTube SEO package: a title, a keyword-rich description with hashtags, and 15 to 20 tags, all written from your real video content.

Does it work with Claude, Cursor, and Codex?

Yes. It works with any AI assistant that reads a SKILL.md file, including Claude, Claude Code, Cursor, and Codex. You drop in the file and start using it.

Do I need to install anything or pay for an API key?

No. There is no separate app, no subscription, and no API key. The skill runs inside the AI assistant you already use.

Will the title and tags actually match my video?

Yes. You give it your transcript, script, or summary, and it writes everything from that real content. If anything important is unclear, it asks before writing, so the output is specific to your video rather than generic.

Do I need SEO or coding skills to use it?

No. You paste in your video content, answer any quick question it asks, and copy the finished title, description, and tags into YouTube Studio. The skill handles the optimization logic for you.

Can I use it for videos beyond YouTube?

It is tuned for YouTube titles, descriptions, and tags, which is where structured video SEO matters most. You can reuse the keyword-focused title and description on other platforms that support them.

New to AI skills?

An AI skill is a small, reusable instruction file (a SKILL.md) that teaches an AI assistant to do one job well. Video SEO 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, video seo 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.

How to install and run it
  1. Download the file after checkout you get the SKILL.md plus a short README and your license.
  2. Add it to your AI drop SKILL.md into your skills folder (for example .claude/skills/) or paste its contents as a custom instruction.
