ytb-storage: Google Cloud Storage & YouTube Upload Automation

Automate your YouTube workflow with seamless cloud storage integration. The ytb-storage skill pack handles both Google Cloud Storage operations and YouTube multi-channel uploads — all with secure OAuth authentication and enterprise-grade secret management.

Google Cloud Storage Integration

Upload and download video files directly to Google Cloud Storage buckets with signed URLs that expire after 24 hours. This skill provides a robust storage layer used across multiple projects including Books, News, and Poetry.

Key capabilities:

• Upload/download video files to GCS buckets
• Generate time-limited signed URLs (24-hour expiration)
• Manage font files in cloud storage
• Resumable uploads for large video files
• Automatic bucket creation and configuration

YouTube Multi-Channel Upload Automation

Upload videos to multiple YouTube channels with automated first-comment posting. Each channel has its own OAuth token stored securely in Google Cloud Secret Manager.

Supported channels include:

• main-channel
• sub-channel-1
• news-channel-1 and news-channel-2
• poetry-channel

The automation handles:

• Multi-channel video uploads with metadata
• Automatic first-comment posting (for SEO and hashtag optimization)
• Channel authentication status checking
• OAuth token management with automatic refresh
