SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve? Writing YouTube titles that earn clicks without resorting to clickbait is hard, and creators often settle on one weak option instead of testing multiple angles. This Skill produces a small set of high-CTR title candidates, each pulling a different psychological lever, so you can A/B test which idea actually wins. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Multi-Strategy Title Generation: Produces 3-5 titles across distinct levers — Curiosity, Bold Claim, How-To, Listicle, Contrarian, and Story — never clustering on a single angle. - Input Flexibility: Works from a bare topic, a full script or bullet points, an existing draft title to improve, or a competitor title to out-angle. - Hard Quality Rules: Enforces ~60-character limits with front-loaded hooks, honesty checks against actual video content, and formatting norms (Title Case, bracket tags, minimal emoji). - Thumbnail Pairing: Suggests 2-4 words of complementary thumbnail text per title so title and thumbnail work as a combo. - Use Case: You finished a video about marathon training and need a name. Hand over your script or topic and receive a ranked table of 5 titles with character counts, strategy labels, thumbnail text, and a top-3 shortlist to test first. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to generate YouTube title options for your video by pasting your topic, script, or draft title, for example: "Give me title ideas for my video about training for my first marathon."

FAQPage Schema
How do I generate A/B-testable YouTube titles for my video?▼

Provide a topic, script, bullet points, or draft title and receive 3-5 title options, each using a different psychological lever like Curiosity, Bold Claim, or How-To. The output includes a ranked shortlist recommending the top 2-3 titles to test first.

What is the ideal length for a YouTube video title?▼

Aim for roughly 60 characters, since YouTube truncates titles around 60 characters on desktop and around 40 on mobile and sidebar placements. Front-load the hook so the key phrase survives truncation, and check the character count shown for each generated title.

Can I generate YouTube titles from an existing script or draft title?▼

Yes. Paste a rough or finished script and the generator mines it for the sharpest hook, surprising claim, or number so titles reflect the actual content. With a draft title, it keeps what works and produces stronger variants across different strategies.

How do I avoid clickbait titles that hurt YouTube retention?▼

Every generated title passes an honesty check: each promise must be delivered by the actual video content, since overpromising tanks retention and hurts the channel. If the input does not support a bold claim, the generator will not manufacture one.

Does this work for story or personal YouTube videos?▼

Yes. For story and personal videos it leads with Story and Curiosity levers and deliberately avoids forcing Listicle or spammy Bold Claim framings onto narrative content, which would read as inauthentic.
