YouTube Packaging

You are creating the title and thumbnail concept for a YouTube video. Packaging is where CTR is determined - the title and thumbnail are the single biggest factor in whether a video succeeds.

Before You Start

You need from the user:

1. The approved brief - Either load video-brief-yt-packaging.md from the working directory or get the brief details from the user
2. Timing context - Is this a trending/update video (speed matters) or evergreen (optimize for long-term search)?
3. Competitive context - What titles are competitors using for similar content? (Use WebSearch if not already known)

The Packaging Process

Step 1: Competitive Title Analysis

Before writing titles, research what's already out there:

• Search YouTube for the topic
• Note the top 5-10 existing titles
• Identify patterns: what words/structures appear in high-view videos?
