What it does
A video has two jobs. It must win the click, and then it must keep the viewer. Most people guess at the title, publish, and never look at the retention graph, so the next video repeats the same mistakes. The steps cover both. First it plans the one promise of the video and makes title and thumbnail pairs that each change one thing. Then it reads each title alone and cuts the list to three that are different enough to test. You publish and, after a week or more, export the retention report from YouTube Studio. Then it gets the video's transcript and reads the report beside it, so each drop shows the words you said at that moment.
You give it
- Your video idea and what the viewer gets
- Your channel, style and audience
- Past results and lessons (optional)
- The link to the video once published
- The audience retention export from YouTube Studio
- Brand brain (optional)
- Your lessons (optional)
You get
- A dozen or more title and thumbnail pairs, each changing one thing
- The first minute of the video, written to pay off the promise
- Three titles that differ enough to test, with a way to test each
- The place where viewers leave most, what you said then, and one change
Use it when
- You have a video idea and want the title and thumbnail to earn the click.
- Your videos get views but viewers leave early and you don't know why.
- You want to pick the next video from what worked, not from a hunch.
Steps
- Thumbnail and title planner: Paste your video idea and channel. Get title and thumbnail pairs to test, with the first minute written to pay them off.
- Headline shortlist reviewer: Share headline options. Get each reviewed on five rules and a shortlist of the strongest three.
- YouTube transcript and channel reader: Give it a video or channel. Get transcripts, video lists and new uploads. Collects data from websites.
- YouTube retention reader: Give it your retention export. Get where viewers leave, what you said then, and the one change to make.
How to use it
- Download the handoff pack. It's a zip with HANDOFF.md and every skill file this workflow uses.
- Give the folder to Claude (in Claude Code, or as files in a Claude Project) and say "Follow HANDOFF.md".
- Describe the video and your channel. Choose one of the three pairs and publish it.
- After a week or more, open YouTube Studio, download the audience retention report for that video and give it back with the video link.
