task: complete youtube content and api workflows task
inspect:
- requirements and context
- existing standards
- failure and edge cases
verify: outputs + checks + handoffWhy a specialist workflow matters
A YouTube workflow breaks trust when it invents research, copies protected material, ignores audience or disclosure rules, or performs channel changes without confirming authorization and API impact.
YouTube work can involve editorial production as well as API resources for videos, channels, playlists, captions, thumbnails, comments, and search.
These skills separate public research from private channel actions, keep factual sources visible, and require review before uploads or metadata changes.
