What This Pack Does

You published a YouTube video. Now these 2 skills turn it into content across every platform:

/create-shorts - Extract vertical shorts from your long-form video

/post - Create native posts for LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook

Both work from the same source video.

Skill 1: Create Shorts

/create-shorts ~/Videos/my-latest-video.mp4

Takes a long-form video and automatically extracts the best standalone clips as vertical shorts (1080x1920) with word-by-word captions and branding. Ready to upload to YouTube Shorts, Instagram Reels, TikTok.

How It Works

Uses 3 AI services, each doing what it's best at:

  1. Deepgram transcribes the full video with word-level timing
  2. Gemini classifies each frame as talking-head or screen-share (vertical shorts work better with talking-head segments)
  3. Claude reads the transcript and picks the best standalone moments - 30-60 second segments that contain a complete, valuable thought

Then FFmpeg extracts each clip and Remotion renders them as vertical videos with:

  • Your branding banner at the top
  • Full 16:9 video in the center (letterboxed, nothing cropped)
  • Word-by-word captions at the bottom (current word highlighted)

What Claude Looks For in Clips

  • 30-60 seconds each
  • Clean sentence boundaries (no mid-sentence cuts)
  • Complete, standalone thought (no context needed from earlier)
  • No intros, outros, or "subscribe" pitches
  • Prefers talking-head segments

Customization

You can customize the look by editing your Remotion project:

  • Banner text and styling (YouTubeBanner component)
  • Caption colors and position (Caption component)
  • Brand colors (COLORS object in types.ts)

Tips

  • Use video files without background music for cleaner transcription
  • If clips have bad boundaries, it's usually an audio quality issue
  • If it keeps selecting screen-share segments, your video is mostly screen-share - the skill works with what's available

Skill 2: Post (Social Media Manager)

/post repurpose my latest YouTube video to LinkedIn and X

/post linkedin about how I automated my content pipeline with AI

/post instagram carousel from https://youtube.com/watch?v=abc123

Creates and publishes social media posts. Each platform gets completely native content - not the same text everywhere.

How It Works

  1. Reads your brand voice file for consistent tone
  2. If you give it a URL, it extracts the content via Blotato API
  3. Generates platform-specific drafts:
  • LinkedIn: thought-leadership format, hook-story-takeaway-CTA, 800-1500 chars, 3-5 hashtags
  • X: casual and punchy, under 280 chars, 0-2 hashtags
  • Instagram: educational carousel (7 slides with your profile pic on first and last)
  • Facebook: community-oriented, 500-1000 chars
  1. Generates visuals via Gemini (carousel slides, post images)
  2. Saves everything as drafts for your review
  3. Publishes ONLY after you approve

Important: It NEVER auto-publishes. Always drafts first, shows you, waits for approval.

What Makes It Good

  • Each platform gets different text (no copy-paste)
  • Instagram carousels are actual image slides, not text posts
  • Your brand voice file controls the tone across all platforms
  • Blotato handles all API connections to your social accounts
  • Published log tracks what went where and when

Tips

  • The brand voice file is the most important thing. Be specific about your tone, vocabulary, and phrases you avoid
  • If posts sound generic, add more detail to your brand voice file - include examples of posts you liked
  • If Instagram carousel images look wrong, check your profile picture is in the brand_picture/ folder

How They Work Together

  1. Publish your YouTube video
  2. Run /create-shorts to extract vertical clips for Shorts, Reels, TikTok
  3. Run /post to create native posts for LinkedIn, X, Instagram, Facebook

One long-form video becomes 5-10+ pieces of content across all platforms.
