A script-backed Skill to maintain a list of tracked YouTube channels and periodically check for new uploads.

v2.0.1 - Bugfix (2026-03-17)

Fix: Increased seen video ID limit from 500 to 2000 to prevent duplicate notifications.

• With 54+ channels, 500 IDs was too small (videos got pushed out and re-detected)
• Now keeps up to 2000 video IDs in state/seen.json

v2.0.0 - RSS Mode (2026-03-17)

Breaking change: Now uses YouTube RSS feeds by default - no API key needed, no quota limits!

Why RSS?

• YouTube API free quota: 10,000 units/day
• API mode with 56 channels × 100 units/check = 5,600 units
• That means only 1-2 checks per day before quota exhausted
• RSS feeds are official, free, unlimited, and only 5-30 min delayed
