# Dogflix YouTube Human Posting

Use this skill for Dogflix YouTube work when any upload, draft, metadata edit, schedule, publish, recovery, or channel-identity question is involved.

## Hard Gates

- Never upload, schedule, publish, delete, or edit live channel content when the active YouTube Studio context is uncertain.
- Verify exact channel before file selection or metadata edits:
  - visible channel name
  - handle
  - channel ID or channel-specific Studio URL
  - manager/owner access state
- Dogflix target, unless Sam changes it: `@Dogflix101` / `UCtz0ESfnIs3VHSlFOPDiX1w`.
- Draft/private first unless Sam explicitly approves the exact channel, exact file/video, visibility, audience setting, and publish timing.
- One post at a time. Do not do back-to-back public Dogflix posts.
- Use natural cadence and varied human metadata. No repeated templates, robotic titles, or identical descriptions.
- If wrong-channel risk appears, stop immediately and report the blocker. Do not click through hoping the context is right.

## Required Workflow

1. Read the Linear/task/source request and identify whether it is read-only, draft/private, or public publishing.
2. Confirm Sam approval scope:
   - read-only checks are okay
   - draft/private creation needs exact channel proof first
   - public publish/schedule needs exact approval for channel + file/video + visibility + timing
3. Before interacting with Studio, inspect existing proof artifacts for channel identity and candidate files.
4. Open or inspect channel-specific Studio URL only after confirming it maps to Dogflix.
5. Capture proof before action:
   - screenshot/snapshot or readback text
   - channel ID/handle
   - video ID/edit URL if editing an existing draft
6. Prepare metadata:
   - human title, not repetitive
   - specific description
   - no spammy keyword stuffing
   - no excessive links
   - playlist/audience setting only when verified
7. After any approved action, verify downstream state:
   - draft/private/public visibility
   - channel name/ID
   - video URL/edit URL
   - timestamp
   - screenshot/readback artifact

## Blocker Language

Use this exact style in Linear when blocked:

`BLOCKED: Dogflix YouTube action requires <missing exact channel/file/visibility/audience/timing approval>. Verified so far: <channel/readback/proof>. Next unblock: <one concrete Sam action>.`

## Proof Standard

A Dogflix YouTube task is not done until proof includes:

- channel readback
- action taken or action explicitly not taken
- visibility state
- video/file identifier
- artifact path or URL
- any remaining approval gap

No proof means no done claim.
