≈ “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.

# 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.
