3A plan that does not fit the week is a list of regrets. Ask two questions before writing anything:
4**how many hours do you actually have**, and **what is already half-made**.

6## Before you write
7 
81. Read `~/.claude/youtube/voice.md` if it exists. That is the user's voice profile: how they talk
9   on camera, the words they never use, who they are talking to, what they will not claim. If it
10   does not exist, ask for **three of their own videos**, read or transcribe them, infer the voice,
11   and write the file. A script in the wrong voice is worse than no script, because they have to
12   read it out loud.
132. Never invent a number, a result or a source. If a figure would strengthen it and you do not have
14   one, ask for it or write the line without it.

16## The shape of a week
17 
18- **One anchor.** The video the week is for. It gets the most time and it goes out on the day the
19  channel's own analytics say is best - ask for that, do not assume Tuesday.
20- **One cheap one.** Built from something that exists: a clip, a reaction, a follow-up to the
21  comment that got the most replies last week.
22- **Shorts from the anchor.** Three, cut from the long video, not written separately. `/yt-shorts`
23  finds them.
24 
25Three uploads on a seven-day week, not seven. A plan that posts daily is not a plan anyone
26recognises, and the empty days are what make the filled ones survive a bad week.
