YouTube Angle Research

A planning skill for testing whether a topic is worth covering and for generating better framing than a generic tutorial title.

Overview

This skill starts from a topic lead, studies how the space is already covered, and decides whether the idea has real upside for a developer audience.

Instead of producing interchangeable titles, it tries to surface distinct angles with clearer tension, stronger curiosity, and a more defensible audience fit.

Best For

Validating new video ideas before scripting
Sharpening a vague topic into a strong angle
Avoiding saturated or weak developer topics
Finding formats that can outperform a generic explainer

What You Get

A clear verdict on topic strength
Several differentiated angle options
Competitive notes on what others are missing

Example Usage

Is 'Claude Code for backend work' a strong topic for a developer audience right now, or is it too saturated?

Give me 5 better YouTube angles for 'MCPs with Rust' aimed at intermediate developers.

Compare these framings for the same topic: 'Why creators are quitting daily vlogging' versus 'The hidden cost of daily vlogging'.

How to Install

Use in Claude Code

Each skill archive now includes a dedicated Claude Code installer that creates a user-level subagent plus any companion files the skill needs.

Download the skill archive and extract it so the skill folder still contains `SKILL.md` and the four installer scripts.
Run `install-claude-mac-linux.sh` on macOS/Linux or `install-claude-windows.ps1` on Windows from inside the extracted skill folder.
Restart Claude Code or start a new session so the installed subagent is available.

# macOS / Linux
./install-claude-mac-linux.sh

# Windows PowerShell
pwsh -File .\install-claude-windows.ps1

The Claude installers target the user-level subagent directory and also install a companion folder when the skill needs scripts, examples, or other supporting files.
