YouTube Viral Topic

Use this skill to find recent YouTube videos that are already performing strongly in a niche. Do not make low-subscriber status the default logic.

Quick Start

Run the bundled script from this skill directory:

python3 scripts/search_youtube_viral_topic.py --topic "AI agent,Claude Code" --days 30 --min-views 10000 --limit 50 --format markdown

Required environment for live API calls:

export YOUTUBE_API_KEY="..."

You can also pass --api-key explicitly for one-off runs. Never write API keys into skill files or output artifacts.
