An audit that lists twenty problems is a way of avoiding the one that matters. This ends in ONE fix. 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. 1. The last ten titles, as a set. Read them as a list, the way the channel page shows them. Do they promise different things? Run them through ../yt-package/title.py. A channel where every title is the same shape has a format problem, not a title problem. 2. The thumbnails, at feed size. Shrink them. What survives? If three of them are unreadable at that size, that is the fix and nothing else matters yet. 3. The first fifteen seconds of the three most recent. Transcribe them and score with ../yt-script/hookscore.py. This is where most channels lose. 4.
