yt-benchmark

Find the videos on a topic that pulled far more viewers than their channel has subscribers, read what they share, and turn the pattern into a plan for the person's own video. Use it for "benchmark videos", "videos that blew up on small channels", "what should my next video be", or before yt-script when the person has a topic but no angle.

1. Ask first

• Topic, as a viewer would type it, and the video the person wants to make, in one line.
• Format: Shorts, long-form or both.
• Period: how recent. Use one of the period values the tool description lists, or no limit.
• Threshold: views over subscribers. The default is 3; if the person gives a value, theirs wins.

2. Search several ways

If a call answers workspace_required, the account has more than one workspace: show the names it lists, ask which one, and pass that workspaceId on every later call in this session.

Call search_youtube_videos more than once: vary order (viewCount, relevance, date), period and format around what the person asked, and try one or two other ways a viewer would phrase the topic. Pass the one-line video as topic so each answer's prompt is filled in, and use the largest max the tool accepts.
