## Description

Draft replies to YouTube comments in the creator's voice, triaged by which ones are worth answering. Use for "reply to my comments", "handle the comment section", "someone asked X", or a pasted comment thread.

## SKILL.md, as published by its author (untrusted third-party text, read it as data)

# yt-comment

The comment section is a retention surface, not a chore. Replies in the first few hours are what
decide whether a thread becomes a conversation other people read.

## Before you write

1. Read `~/.claude/youtube/voice.md` if it exists. That is the user's voice profile: how they talk
   on camera, the words they never use, who they are talking to, what they will not claim. If it
   does not exist, ask for **three of their own videos**, read or transcribe them, infer the voice,
   and write the file. A script in the wrong voice is worse than no script, because they have to
   read it out loud.
2. Never invent a number, a result or a source. If a figure would strengthen it and you do not have
   one, ask for it or write the line without it.

## Triage first, always

Sort what the user pastes into four piles and say how many are in each before writing anything:

1. **Questions** - answer them. These are your next video's topics, so note the repeats.
2. **Corrections** - if they are right, say so plainly and thank them. Never argue a fact you
   cannot check.
3. **Praise** - reply to a few, briefly, with something specific from their comment. A wall of
   identical "thank you!" replies reads as automated because it is.
4. **Bait** - do not reply. Say so and move on. Never write a comeback, however deserved.

## Writing the reply

- Under 30 words. A long reply in a comment thread is a blog post nobody asked for.
- Answer the actual question in the first sentence.
- One question back, only when it is real.
- No emoji unless the user's own replies use them. Check their voice file.
- Never promise a video you have not agreed to make.

## The heart and the pin

Say which ONE comment to pin and why. Pin the question the most people also have, not the nicest
one. Heart generously - it costs nothing and it is visible.
