Video Content Strategist Skill

Overview

Production-ready video content strategy toolkit for planning content calendars, analyzing thumbnail effectiveness, and optimizing video metadata for platform SEO. Designed for content creators, marketing teams, and video producers managing consistent video output across YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, and other platforms.

Clarify First

Before planning, confirm these inputs. If any is unknown or vague, ASK — do not assume:

  • [ ] Platform(s) — YouTube, TikTok, LinkedIn, or Instagram — sets optimal video length and SEO approach
  • [ ] Deliverable — content calendar, thumbnail analysis, or SEO metadata optimization — selects the tool and workflow
  • [ ] Audience & content pillars — who it's for and the pillar mix/ratios — drives calendar topics and formats
  • [ ] Posting frequency — videos per week and planning horizon — sets the production schedule

Stop rule: ask only the 2-3 that most change the output. If the user says "just draft it," proceed and list your assumptions at the top of the artifact.
