Save a new YouTube video idea to the video ideas tracker. Use when the user has a new video idea, wants to log a content concept, or says things like "save this idea", "add this to my video ideas", "I have an idea for a video". Triggers on: save idea, video idea, add idea, log idea, new video concept.
Save a new video idea to the tracker at `~/content/youtube/video-ideas.md`. ## Instructions 1. First, read the current file at `~/content/youtube/video-ideas.md` to understand the existing format and avoid duplicates. 2. **Keep it fast.** The user might just say "save idea: Claude Code memory system deep dive" - that's enough. Don't interrogate them. - **Title** (required): If not obvious, ask for one. Otherwise infer from what they said. - **Topic, Angle, Target Audience, Notes**: Infer from context if possible. Only ask if the idea is vague and you genuinely can't fill these in. - **Priority**: Default to Medium if not specified. Only ask if the user seems unsure where to rank it. 3. Add the new idea to the `## Active Ideas` section (if high priority) or `## Backlog Ideas` section (if medium/low priority) in the same markdown format as existing entries: ``` ### N. [Title] - **Status:** Planned - **Priority:** [High/Medium/Low] - **Topic:** [description] - **Angle:** [what makes it unique] - **Target Audience:** [who watches] - **Research:** [link to research file if applicable] - **Notes:** [additional context] - **Date Added:** [YYYY-MM-DD] ``` 4. Increment the idea number based on the last entry in the section. 5. Confirm to the user that the idea was saved and show them the entry. ## Status Lifecycle Ideas move through these statuses: - **Planned** — idea saved, not started - **In Progress** — `/yt-package` is building a video package for this idea (set automatically by `/yt-package` Step 0) - **Uploaded** — video is live (move to Completed section manually or via this skill) - **Backlog** — parked for later When the user says "mark idea X as done" or "I uploaded idea X", move it to the `## Completed` section and add the video package path and upload date.
