SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

This Skill removes the repetitive, error-prone work of uploading YouTube Shorts manually by guiding a browser-driven workflow from local file to a published video URL.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Upload and publish in one flow: Select the Shorts file, complete title/description/tags, choose “not made for kids,” set visibility (Public/Unlisted/Scheduled), and publish.
  • Robust progress checking: Uses page snapshot polling to detect upload progress and processing completion instead of relying on fragile element states.
  • URL retrieval after publishing: Navigates to YouTube Studio and extracts the uploaded Shorts URL from the first video row to return it to the user.
  • Auto-metadata shaping: Reads source JSON metadata (from shorts-compose) and enforces title length (≤100 characters) while appending tags to the description.

Quick Start

Copy your prepared video file to /tmp/openclaw/uploads/video.mp4, then ask the assistant to upload it to YouTube Shorts and return the published video URL.
