Eleven ChatGPT skills that run a YouTube channel. Free, MIT, no signup, no API key, nothing to connect.
One of them writes your script off 21 hook formulas and scores the hook before you waste a take on it. One lints the title and the thumbnail as a single pairing, because writing them separately is why half of your click surface says the same thing twice. One reads your audience-retention export and tells you the exact second people left and what you were saying when they did. One turns a transcript into an edit decision list. One finds the Shorts already hiding inside a long video. One goes and finds what is working in your niche and ranks it by how far each video beat its own channel, not by how big the channel is.
Nothing gets published until you do it. These skills write. You upload.
