The file

We split this skill into the rules it gives an agent

1 rule. 0 are common, 0 are distinctive, and 1 is very specific to this project.

  • 0

    Common

    Most of the 28 edited versions we read keep these.

  • 0

    Distinctive

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 1

    Very specific

    Tied to their project's names, files or tools. Probably skip.

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Very specific:

    Use get_video_streams_v2 for downloadable media URLs.

    line 56

“Common” is measured: kept by at least 6 in 10 of the 28 edited versions of this file we could read. “Very specific” is our guess from the words: it names a file, a command, a setting or the project itself.

Keep what fits and drop the rest. Your version, ready for your agents.

YouTube (via TikHub)

Deep coverage of YouTube via the Web-V2 API. Exhaustive endpoints: tikhub-find-endpoint "<goal>" --platform youtube.

Setup gate

[ -z "${TIKHUB_API_KEY:-}" ] && echo "Set TIKHUB_API_KEY first (see tikhub-onboarding)."

Coverage: YouTube-Web-V2. (The older YouTube-Web API is de-scoped — reach it via discovery.)

  -H "Authorization: Bearer $TIKHUB_API_KEY"

Pagination

Comments, replies, channel feeds, and the *_v2 search endpoints use continuation_token — pass the token from the previous response; stop when none is returned. Each page is billed — cap it.

  • Analyze a channel → creator-analytics
  • Comment mining → comments-analysis
  • Search/listening → social-listening
  • Large pulls → bulk-data-export

Red flags

  • Use get_video_streams_v2 for downloadable media URLs; get_video_info is metadata only.
  • A video_id is the 11-char id; pass full URLs to the *_v2 variants.

Your trail

Files you open will collect here, so you can find them again.

Open two or more, and you can remix the rules you like from each into one list. Kept in this browser only.

Now do this for your own.

Bring your CLAUDE.md, AGENTS.md or skills. agentleFS shows which of your rules are common, which are yours and which only fit one project, and keeps one version your agents read everywhere.
