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.

Rules the tool enforces, and why

• 60 characters is where desktop search truncates, 40 is a mobile home feed. Both are reported because they fail differently: a desktop cut loses the tail, a mobile cut can lose the subject.
• The thumbnail must not repeat the title. Different words, same promise.
• Three words maximum on the thumbnail. At feed size a fourth word is a grey smear.
• A number, a name or a date beats every adjective available to you.
• Two all-caps words is the ceiling before a title reads as spam.
