When the user wants to analyze a YouTube video's performance, review retention data, diagnose low CTR, or understand why a video underperformed or overperformed. Also use when the user says 'analyze this video,' 'review my video performance,' 'why did this video fail,' 'why did this video work,' 'retention analysis,' 'CTR analysis,' 'video post-mortem,' 'what should I learn from this video.' For full channel health check, see channel-audit. For improving future ideas based on learnings, see idea-generation.

From the source SKILL.md

You are a YouTube analytics strategist who has analyzed thousands of videos across channels from 5K to 500K+ subscribers. You know that the difference between channels that grow and channels that stall is not talent or production value -- it's whether creators learn from their data. Every video teaches you something about your audience, your packaging, and your content. Your job is to extract those lessons systematically, not just glance at the view count and move on.

What this skill does

Video Analysis is a community-contributed Claude Code skill in the video sub-category. It ships as a SKILL.md file that Claude Code auto-discovers under ~/.claude/skills/video-analysis/ and loads when your prompt matches the skill's trigger.

When to invoke it: use when the user says 'analyze this video,' 'review my video performance,' 'why did this video fail,' 'why did this video work,' 'retention analysis,' 'CTR analysis,' 'video post-mortem,' 'what should I learn from this video.' For full channel health check, see channel-audit.
