video-channels-update-push skill

Overview

This skill monitors official channels on video platforms and quickly returns new full-length videos published in the past week (Shorts excluded). It supports YouTube, Vimeo, and similar platforms and produces linkable, shareable reports. The output highlights key metadata like title, duration, publish date, views, and a star-rating for view counts.

How this skill works

The skill inspects each channel's public videos page and filters items published within the last seven days, explicitly ignoring Shorts and short-form tabs. It collects metadata (title, URL, duration, publish date, view count) and applies a configurable star scale to views for quick prioritization. Channel lists are managed in a local workspace file so you can add or remove channels centrally.

When to use it

• Track competitor or industry-leading channels for new long-form content weekly.
• Aggregate recent uploads from multiple channels into a single update report.
• Generate linkable reports for marketing, content planning, or ad intelligence.
• Detect publishing patterns or sudden spikes in view counts for benchmarking.
• Maintain a watchlist of brand channels across YouTube, Vimeo, and similar sites.

Best practices

• Keep your channel list in the workspace channel file so updates are centralized.
• Authenticate to platforms when needed to ensure access to region- or login-restricted channels.
• Exclude Shorts explicitly by focusing on the channel’s main videos listing or by filtering short durations.
• Schedule weekly runs to maintain consistent, comparable reporting windows.
• Verify view counts and dates against the platform when accuracy is critical.

Example use cases

• Weekly competitor creative roundup: collect new brand videos from several rival channels and share with the strategy team.
• Content calendar sync: detect when partners publish long-form videos to align promotion timing.
• Ad intelligence: monitor top-performing uploads and flag high-view content with star ratings for ad inspiration.
• Stakeholder reports: produce a one-page summary with links and view-based priority for management review.
