YouTube Description and Chapters Writer
Writes publish-ready YouTube descriptions: a click-worthy hook, valid chapters from real timecodes, promised links, and disclosures.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
YouTube descriptions are important for SEO and click-through rate. You'll want to include a summary of the video, links to relevant resources, timestamps if it's a longer video, and maybe some calls-to-action. The trick is making it compelling enough that people click without being too spammy. YouTube also favors descriptions that include keywords naturally. I can write one for you, but I'd need to know what the video is about, how long it is, and what you want people to do after watching. Do you have a transcript or rough outline?

About this skill
Your description is either one line long or a wall of links. Your chapters don't show up, and viewers keep commenting "where's the link you mentioned?" This skill writes the whole description box. The first lines sell the watch, the chapters come from real timecodes and pass YouTube's checks, and every link the video promises is in the box.
What it does
- Writes the first lines (the only part people see before "Show more") around a concrete payoff, not "In this video..."
- Builds chapters from your transcript's timecodes, then checks them against YouTube's chapter rules (0:00 start, at least 3 chapters, at least 10 seconds each, ascending order) so they actually appear
- Scans the transcript for every "I'll link it below" and makes sure each promise has a link or gets flagged
- Orders your links block by priority and labels affiliate and sponsor links with clear disclosures
- Matches your existing descriptions' voice and keeps your standing footer the same from video to video
- Flags likely auto-caption misspellings of names and brands, and never invents URLs, codes, or timestamps
What you get
A paste-ready description (hook, summary, chapters, links, hashtags) and a short pre-publish checklist. The checklist covers chapter validation, placeholders to fill, promised links found vs. linked, and spellings to confirm.
Best for
YouTubers and video editors who publish weekly and want every description done consistently, plus anyone whose chapters won't display or whose viewers can't find the links.
