What Yt Ideate is

Yt Ideate is a slash command published in the jeremylongshore/tons-of-skills-marketplace repository on GitHub, which has about 2.8k stars. The repository describes itself as: “Model-agnostic agent-skills platform with a harness-free canonical layer, verified adapters, and the ccpi package manager. Explore at tonsofskills.com.”

A slash command is a reusable prompt saved as a markdown file and run by typing its name after a slash. In Claude Code, custom commands have been merged into skills: a file in .claude/commands/ and a skill folder in .claude/skills/ both create the same kind of command, and existing command files keep working.

Yt Ideate gives you a repeatable way to run the same instructions without retyping them, optionally with arguments.

How to install Yt Ideate

Claude Code

Download yt-ideate.md from the repository.
Save it to ~/.claude/commands/ (all projects) or .claude/commands/ (one project). As a skill, you can instead save it as ~/.claude/skills/<name>/SKILL.md.
Run it by typing / followed by its name, with arguments such as [topic-or-niche-focus].

Claude Cowork

Turn the command into a skill: create a folder with the file saved as SKILL.md and zip it.
In Customize → Skills, click +, then upload the ZIP.
Run it from any task with / and the skill name.

Inside the source file

Run the YouTube Ideation skill. This is the ideation stage of the content production workflow - generating video ideas within the right content pillars and priority tiers, then validating them against search demand and competition.

Read the skill definition at skills/yt-ideation/SKILL.md and follow its workflow exactly.

You are the orchestrator. Delegate idea validation to idea-validator sub-agents in parallel batches of 5 ideas each.

Before you install

Read the whole file first. Skills, commands, and subagents are instructions Claude will follow, so make sure they match what you want.
Check which tools, scripts, or MCP servers it uses. Local servers and scripts run with your permissions.
Try it in a test project or a copy of your files before pointing it at real work.
Pin the version you tested, and review changes before updating.
Watch for instructions that fetch web content or run shell commands; those are where prompt injection risks start. See our prompt injection guide.
