The file

We split this llms.txt into the rules it gives an agent

4 rules. About 0 are common, 4 are distinctive, and 0 are very specific to this project.

  • ≈0

    Common · estimate

    Many files like this have a rule of this kind.

  • ≈4

    Distinctive · estimate

    This author's own choices. Worth a look.

  • 0

    Very specific

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

  • Common
  • Distinctive
  • Very specific
  1. Distinctive:

    Call youtube_connection_status before any upload to verify credentials.

    line 28
  2. Distinctive:

    If dry_run is true, the agent should warn the user that nothing will go live.

    line 29
  3. Distinctive:

    Always preview title, description, and tags with the user before uploading.

    line 30
  4. Distinctive:

    Not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or YouTube.

    line 38

≈ “Common” is an estimate: at least 1 in 5 of the 3,592 llms.txt files we read have a rule of the same kind, not the same words. “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 Shorts Agent

Agent-first YouTube Shorts upload CLI and MCP server. OAuth-authenticated, dry-run safe by default, never returns tokens to the agent.

Repository: https://github.com/davidmosiah/youtube-shorts-agent
NPM: https://www.npmjs.com/package/youtube-shorts-agent
Docs: https://github.com/davidmosiah/youtube-shorts-agent#readme
Primary command: npm exec --yes --package=youtube-shorts-agent -- youtube-shorts-agent doctor
MCP command: youtube-shorts-mcp

Core tools:
- youtube_agent_manifest — runtime contract, tool list, supported clients
- youtube_connection_status — credentials present, token age, dry-run mode
- youtube_capabilities — supported uploads, max file size, regions
- youtube_privacy_audit — what is logged locally vs sent to YouTube
- youtube_oauth_authorize_url — generates the consent URL for the user
- youtube_upload_short — uploads a short with title, description, tags, visibility
- youtube_list_recent_videos — lists recent uploads for confirmation

OAuth env vars:
- YOUTUBE_CLIENT_ID, YOUTUBE_CLIENT_SECRET — from Google Cloud Console (YouTube Data API v3)
- YOUTUBE_REDIRECT_URI — must match exactly what you registered
- YOUTUBE_TOKEN_PATH — defaults to ~/.youtube-shorts-agent/tokens.json
- YOUTUBE_DRY_RUN=true — default; set to false to publish for real
- YOUTUBE_PRIVACY_MODE — default "private"; "public" or "unlisted" allowed

Workflow for agents:
1. Call youtube_connection_status before any upload to verify credentials.
2. If dry_run is true, the agent should warn the user that nothing will go live.
3. Always preview title, description, and tags with the user before uploading.
4. AI-generated content defaults to containsSyntheticMedia=true (YouTube policy).

Safety:
- OAuth tokens stored locally, never returned in tool output.
- Dry-run on by default; flipping to live requires explicit user intent.
- AI-generated uploads tagged as synthetic per YouTube guidelines.
- Quota usage logged locally so the agent can warn before hitting daily limits.
- Not affiliated with or endorsed by Google or YouTube.
