What This Skill Does

Automates the YouTube content production pipeline: downloads a video, transcribes it with Whisper, generates SEO metadata with GPT-4, and creates AI thumbnails with consistent character styling. Supports Korean-language output and custom avatar images. Optionally integrates with the nano-banana-pro skill for image generation.

Combines transcription, metadata generation, and thumbnail creation into a single automated run instead of requiring separate tools for each step.

When to use it

  • Generating subtitles for a recorded lecture before uploading
  • Creating Korean SEO titles and tags for a gaming video
  • Producing a branded thumbnail using your own photo as the avatar
  • Batch-processing local video files into upload-ready packages
  • Quickly generating a Pirate Lobster thumbnail for a prototype video
