ytb-content-creator: Automated YouTube Shorts Generation for News, Tech, and Poetry

Creating engaging YouTube Shorts content consistently is challenging for creators who want to focus on their core expertise rather than video production. The ytb-content-creator skill pack solves this by automating the entire YouTube Shorts creation pipeline for three distinct content categories: news, technology, and poetry. This open-source solution integrates seamlessly with Claude Code and requires no manual video editing.

How It Works: Three Specialized Content Pipelines

The ytb-content-creator skill pack contains three specialized modules, each optimized for a specific content type with its own unique workflow and toolchain:

News Channel Shorts Automation

The /news-video command automatically generates news-themed YouTube Shorts by sourcing clips from NaverTV. It supports multiple political perspectives through configurable channels (news-channel-1 for conservative, news-channel-2 for progressive content). The pipeline includes automated audio generation, subtitle overlay, and multi-channel distribution capabilities.

Tech News Shorts with Multilingual Support

The /tech-video command creates technology-focused Shorts using Dailymotion as the primary video source. What makes this module exceptional is its built-in multilingual support for 8 languages: English, Korean, Japanese, Chinese, Spanish, French, German, Portuguese, and Hindi. Each language automatically selects appropriate fonts, TTS voices, and subtitle formatting rules.

Poetry Shorts: From Literary Works to Visual Storytelling

The /poetry-create-shorts command transforms poetry and literary works into visually stunning Shorts through a sophisticated 7-step pipeline: NotebookLM audio generation → Google Cloud Storage → Seedance image-to-video conversion → ElevenLabs TTS narration → text overlay → background music mixing → YouTube upload. This module handles complex typography requirements and maintains strict 9:16 vertical aspect ratio compliance.

Technical Architecture and Integration

ytb-content-creator is designed as a modular, service-oriented architecture that can be deployed locally or in production environments:

• Local Development: Run on localhost:3124 for testing and development
• Production Deployment: Deploy to Cloud Run or similar serverless platforms
• API-First Design: RESTful endpoints for /api/news/create, /api/tech/create, and /api/poetry/create
• Cloud Integration: Seamless Google Cloud Storage integration for intermediate file handling
• Multi-Provider Support: Flexible TTS options including Gemini, ElevenLabs, and Google Cloud Text-to-Speech

The architecture follows clean separation of concerns with dedicated services for each content type, making it easy to extend with additional modules for other content categories.
