00:00:00In the last month I've gained over 38,000 followers on YouTube,
00:00:0350,000 followers on Instagram and 11,000 followers on Tik TOK.
00:00:08And that is in huge part due to my Claude code content system.
00:00:12And today I'm going to break it all down the custom skills I've built my daily
00:00:16workflow and show you how I've used Claude code to automate my entire content
00:00:20system. So you can too.
00:00:22So what we're looking at here is the seven Claude code skills that are the backbone
00:00:26of my content system. And they have driven 10 million views over the last month.
00:00:30As one main team, no editors, no VA's nothing.
00:00:33Now those 10 million views are across 90 pieces of content
00:00:38over 30 days of those 90, 30 are long form videos.
00:00:43It's essentially been a long form YouTube video every day in March and 60
00:00:47short form. So those are shorts reels, Tik TOKs, all of that.
00:00:51And the real number you should be focusing on. Isn't the followers.
00:00:54As I said in the intro, even the 10 million views, it's the 90 videos,
00:00:5890 videos in one day for one person, like not to toot my own horn,
00:01:02but is a pretty impressive amount of volume.
00:01:05And the only way I was able to do that was with a sustainable,
00:01:10sustainable repeatable system. And that's what we're going to go over here today.
00:01:14Because again, I'm doing this as one person,
00:01:15but I'm not locked to the computer 12, 16 hours a day, right?
00:01:19The only way I can maintain this is again, if it's sustainable,
00:01:22if this is something that makes sense, furthermore,
00:01:25when it came to those 10 million views,
00:01:27there wasn't a single piece of content that got over 400,000 views.
00:01:31So this isn't a situation where also the 10 million number came from like two
00:01:35viral hits and the rest were just duds, right?
00:01:37This was a win with like 90 jabs and no haymakers.
00:01:40So I think that's also good to know.
00:01:42Like we aren't trying to just create some random lucky viral hit.
00:01:45This is small consistent wins that I think anyone can repeat.
00:01:48So how are we able to do this?
00:01:50How are we able to use cloud code to create the sort of sustainable system that
00:01:54does create content people actually want to consume? Well,
00:01:56first we need to understand the content creation process as a whole.
00:01:59Then we need to break down that process into individual parts and then assign
00:02:04specific cloud code automations and skills to those parts, right?
00:02:08That's how we methodically break this down.
00:02:10And I would break the content process into four real phases.
00:02:13The first is research. The second is ideation.
00:02:17The third is scripting. And the fourth is distribution.
00:02:22And it is from these four phases that we pull out different cloud code skills.
00:02:27And some of these phases have multiple skills because there's a lot going on.
00:02:31Take scripting, for example, right? That's going to encompass hooks.
00:02:34That's going to encompass the actual script,
00:02:36the outline of the video as well as some packaging stuff like titles and
00:02:40thumbnails. But let's start with the first two phases research in ideation,
00:02:44because I think it's important to talk about both of them in parallel because it's
00:02:47very much a cycle, right? You research some stuff,
00:02:50you come up with ideas from your ideas, you need more research.
00:02:52And then oftentimes from that research, you come up with more ideas.
00:02:56So one and two are very closely tied. Now,
00:02:59the big skill for me is my YouTube pipeline skill.
00:03:03And this brings in notebook LM. Now, every single skill you see here today,
00:03:08as well as the Twitter research engine,
00:03:10I'm going to show you in my GitHub script can be found inside of chase AI.
00:03:14Plus a link to that is in the comments. Chase AI plus is also home to my cloud code,
00:03:19masterclass, which is the number one place to go from zero to AI dev.
00:03:22This gets updated every single week. So if you're trying to figure out,
00:03:25how can I actually master cloud code and have like an actual pathway forward?
00:03:29Well, definitely check us out again, links in the comments now,
00:03:32back to the YouTube pipeline skill,
00:03:34which I think is the most powerful out of all seven of these skills. Well,
00:03:36that notebook LM pie skill allows us to bring the power of notebook LM into
00:03:41cloud code. So I can give notebook LM, whatever I want,
00:03:44whether that's like YouTube, URLs, PDFs, documents,
00:03:48anything I could do in the normal notebook LM, you know, web app,
00:03:51but I can do it through my terminal.
00:03:53And this is great because notebook LM is really good at handling some of this
00:03:56content that can be kind of a pain with cloud code,
00:03:59namely things like YouTube videos and all this is offloaded onto Google servers,
00:04:03right? We're not using cloud code tokens to do the analysis.
00:04:05We're having notebook LM and Gemini do it for us. And then we just bring it back.
00:04:09And I get access to all the notebook LM deliverables, right? Videos,
00:04:12slide decks, images, anything I can do here, I can do via the terminal now.
00:04:17And that skill uses the notebook LM PI CLI tool to create that
00:04:21bridge between cloud code and notebook LM.
00:04:24Now this repo includes its own skill.
00:04:27So the YouTube pipeline research is essentially a skill that calls additional
00:04:32skills. It's a higher order skill.
00:04:33And so what the YouTube pipeline skill does is it takes the notebook LM
00:04:38PI CLI tool and skill and essentially automates the
00:04:43sourcing of it.
00:04:44So it grabs a bunch of YouTube URLs based on your conversation and includes
00:04:49the analysis part.
00:04:50So it uses this as the bridge and then automatically sources and then
00:04:54automatically analyzes all in one command.
00:04:56But using the skill implies you already have a source of information, right?
00:04:59You've already figured out what you want to talk about or what you want to do
00:05:02analysis on, which begs the question,
00:05:04how do we even figure out what to talk about in the first place?
00:05:08How does cloud code help us there?
00:05:09And that kind of goes beyond what you see in the skill breakdown, right?
00:05:13What we need to figure out is like step zero. You know,
00:05:16we got to figure out what is the fountain head of knowledge for your particular
00:05:21niche for tech. It's pretty obvious, right? For all this AI stuff,
00:05:23everything kind of comes from a few places,
00:05:25either comes directly from GitHub repos or it spawns on Twitter, right?
00:05:30And then eventually it makes its way to YouTube. Every once in a while,
00:05:33something will like originate on YouTube,
00:05:35but it's usually Twitter and GitHub, right from there it goes to YouTube from
00:05:39YouTube. It gets spread out.
00:05:40So we need to figure out what your fountain head of knowledge is because if it's
00:05:45not tech and it's not AI, you need to understand like,
00:05:47where does the information originate?
00:05:49So you can kind of be first on the ground to talk about it. And so in my case,
00:05:53since we're saying, Hey, it's coming from GitHub or it's coming from Twitter,
00:05:57how do I use cloud code to help there? Well, when it comes to Twitter,
00:06:00I just had cloud code build me a Twitter scraping web app.
00:06:04So that's what you see here. It goes to telegram. And every 30 to 45 minutes,
00:06:08I get some sort of tweet based on a number of keywords and a number of authors
00:06:12that pops up and says, Hey, here's what they're talking about. Here's the lights.
00:06:16Here's like a velocity score.
00:06:18And it also allows me to reply to them if I want because I also hooked up my
00:06:21Twitter API and here's sort of the breakdown of how this web app works. Again,
00:06:25it was pretty easy to create inside of cloud code yet it's relatively
00:06:28sophisticated and it's very customizable.
00:06:31So every 45 minutes or so it's kind of on a randomized timer.
00:06:36It scrapes 40 to 90 tweets. It uses an app of high tweet scraper.
00:06:39That's pretty cheap.
00:06:40And then it filters it and scores the tweets.
00:06:43It finds based on a number of scoring signals. So it looks at velocity, authority,
00:06:48timing, opportunity, and repliability, because I have the ability to, like I said,
00:06:52to reply to these tweets. If I want to,
00:06:54all the tweets it gets gets sent to super base.
00:06:57So to make sure I'm not always getting the same tweet from the same person and
00:07:00that it also kind of just like diversifies it a bit from there.
00:07:03It scores them and then it chooses them based on the score. It uses soft max.
00:07:07So it applies a probability score to each.
00:07:08So I don't always get the number one score each time. Again,
00:07:11we want some randomization there from there.
00:07:13It gets pushed to telegram and it also has the ability to give me potential
00:07:16replies. So I have Brock tied to that.
00:07:18Now if you've been on Twitter for any amount of time at all,
00:07:21you know it is absolutely plagued with AI bots posting there.
00:07:24So all of the replies do go to super base and essentially get
00:07:29scored. And that way I have insight into the kind of responses I'm giving it,
00:07:34because I also can do custom responses and over time,
00:07:36it kind of becomes a system that improves upon itself. And then lastly,
00:07:40it shows up in telegram. Now let's talk about fountain head number two,
00:07:43which is trending GitHub repos. Yes, there's a trending page on GitHub,
00:07:47but why can't I just get this information automatically along with some nice
00:07:50insights as to the velocity of these trends, right?
00:07:53How many stars have they gotten since they first got created and also going to
00:07:57have it filtered, right? I just kind of want to see AI stuff. Well,
00:07:59Claude code did all that for me.
00:08:00It created a script that runs every single morning that brings me the GitHub
00:08:04trending repos in the AI space and it puts it inside of my obsidian vault.
00:08:08So what I'm able to see is the top 10 trending repos that were created in the last
00:08:12seven days. Every day I see the stars, the language,
00:08:16I get a link and I get a quick description on top of that.
00:08:19I also can see the top five trending for that month. And then it gives me,
00:08:22you know, it's suggestion each day. And why?
00:08:24And so between this GitHub script cloud code created and this Twitter engine,
00:08:28I'm able to solve for this step zero problem,
00:08:31which is like how do we even find things to talk about in the first place that
00:08:34aren't just a repeat of, you know, what's been on YouTube for the last week,
00:08:37right? We need stuff that is new and this allows us to do it. And again,
00:08:41the nice thing with Claude code is you don't have to use GitHub.
00:08:44You don't have to use Twitter.
00:08:45You just need to identify what those are for you and your niche.
00:08:48Then have cloud code build them because once you do have that right,
00:08:52the step zero of like the fountain head, then you can plug into here,
00:08:57in this whole skill breakdown setup, right?
00:08:59Then once I have the idea I found on GitHub or the idea I see someone talking
00:09:03about on Twitter, then I can throw the YouTube pipeline search at it, right?
00:09:07This is called YT pipeline, but it doesn't have to be YouTube, right?
00:09:09This can be whatever it is. And then that does the analysis on notebook LM.
00:09:13And like you saw with GitHub,
00:09:14this is also all being done inside my obsidian vault. So yes,
00:09:20I'm going to have my terminal up with Claude code talking to it,
00:09:22but everything Claude code creates is in a Markdown file inside of my vault.
00:09:27So it's very easy for me to see what's going on as well.
00:09:30And to take a look at reports and see connected articles, right?
00:09:33Just gives me better insight and keeps it all organized, right?
00:09:36Because especially if you're doing content,
00:09:38like if you're doing this every day, doing multiple types of research, this,
00:09:42if this is just in like a code base and you don't have any like obsidian in there,
00:09:44it can kind of get away from you as the human, like cloud code can handle it fine,
00:09:48but you you'll struggle. So we understand where to find ideas at the ground level.
00:09:52And we just kind of talked about the YT pipeline skill,
00:09:55how we can point it at those ideas. We found somewhere,
00:09:59send it to notebook LM and have it do a bunch of research and analysis next
00:10:03becomes kind of like ideation and strategy.
00:10:06And so this is taking that research and then figuring out how can we position the,
00:10:10these ideas with desire mapping?
00:10:12How can we take these ideas and actually turn it into content that someone would
00:10:16actually care about at a high level.
00:10:18And so what ideation is going to do is it's not going to redo the research,
00:10:22but it's going to take a look at the research in terms of the competitive
00:10:25landscape. And like, what are other people saying about this? What are the gaps?
00:10:29What are potential things that no one's talked about that might resonate with an
00:10:33audience, right?
00:10:33So this is taking the research out of a vacuum and then placing it again in the
00:10:38competitive landscape you inhabit. So let's take a look at this one in action.
00:10:42So I've been doing some research on rag and Claude code planning on putting it on
00:10:45some content. That's like the seven levels of Claude code and rag,
00:10:49because it's a space that actually has been changing a lot over the last really
00:10:52year. So we're doing, we're invoking the ideation skill.
00:10:56Take a look at our recent rag and Claude code research and come back with sort of
00:11:00the landscape. So here's what Claude code came back with. Again,
00:11:03it's pulling from research we've already done.
00:11:05So first thing it gives us is the competitive landscape, saturated angles,
00:11:10open gaps, and then performance outliers, right?
00:11:14What have other people talked about that kind of like went nuts after it gives us
00:11:17that context, it goes into video ideas, right? Titles angles,
00:11:21the kind of desire we're hitting, then the formats and competitive gaps.
00:11:25And it does this for a ton of different videos, right?
00:11:29And all it gave us nine different options and then it ranks them.
00:11:32And I think what you see here is important because it's repeated throughout all of
00:11:36these skills in the system. I use,
00:11:38when we talk about using Claude code and the automation,
00:11:40like what we're really talking about is turning Claude code into a collaborator.
00:11:44Right? At every step of this journey,
00:11:46I want to have some sort of input, right?
00:11:49I don't want Claude code to automatically go to GitHub and then I don't even see
00:11:53it. And then at the end it just gives me, Hey,
00:11:55here's the full script you're going to do today. By the way,
00:11:57I created the thumbnail and I created the title and everything's ready to go.
00:12:00You just need to say these words.
00:12:01You don't want that because it's going to be terrible. Okay?
00:12:04If you're doing anything with AI that has any creative bent whatsoever,
00:12:08you need to stay in the driver's seat. Now,
00:12:13obviously throughout all of this, Claude code is doing a ton for us,
00:12:16but it's doing analysis and it's coming up with potential plans and potential
00:12:20ideas. You still need to be there along the way to like check it off and say, Hey,
00:12:24I don't like this. I don't like that.
00:12:25That's how you can actually get a good output at the end.
00:12:29And that's how you can maintain your voice because no matter how well you train
00:12:32this thing,
00:12:32if you expect it to go from stab zero to the full script and no point in between,
00:12:37were you there to be like, let's do this idea. Let's change that.
00:12:39Let's change that it's going to be generic and it's going to suck.
00:12:42But the nice thing about this is, Hey, if you did want to automate it like that,
00:12:45you can, but every step of this journey, right?
00:12:48The expectation is that you take a look at the outputs of Claude code before you
00:12:51move on to the next phase. And what it's really doing,
00:12:53what this is really buying you is all the leg work to do this
00:12:58sort of analysis from scratch and seeing stuff like this and seeing
00:13:03its ideas helps you refine what you think you'll go with.
00:13:06Because I would say nine times out of 10,
00:13:09I ended up doing some variant of what it gives me.
00:13:11I don't usually do the exact thing, right?
00:13:12Because we always have something different we want to kind of put in there,
00:13:15but that's it for the ideation section, right? So we did step zero,
00:13:18found the knowledge. We did step one.
00:13:21We did some research with pipeline and we brought in notebook LM we've completed
00:13:25ideation. You know,
00:13:26we kind of understand where this potential content idea is within the context of
00:13:31what everyone else is doing. And of course,
00:13:34all of this is being done inside of obsidian instead of our vault.
00:13:36And if the obsidian stuff is kind of going over your head,
00:13:39I'll put a link above a video I did where a deep dive on sort of obsidian and
00:13:43notebook LM. And that brings us into phase three, which is the scripting section.
00:13:47Now, when it comes to scripting, I will say for myself,
00:13:50I'm not a huge script guy.
00:13:52I will script the hook like the first 30 seconds.
00:13:57So what you saw in the intro of this video, where I was like, yeah,
00:13:5938,000 followers and 11,000 people on Tik TOK that was scripted, right?
00:14:04I went back and forth with Claude code quite a bit using this hook skill and
00:14:07figured out, okay, what exactly am I going to say?
00:14:09Because when it comes to content and social media,
00:14:12the hook is very, very important. Packaging is very, very important.
00:14:14So I want to nail that and it's only 20 seconds, but everything else,
00:14:17it's outlines, it's concepts with bullet points.
00:14:19I kind of know what I'm going to talk about, but not really.
00:14:20We're just going to do it live.
00:14:21So the outline skill that I give you, again,
00:14:26it's just like that. It's big picture stuff, although the hook really nails it.
00:14:30And the hook stuff comes in large part from Callaway.
00:14:34I take a lot of his, his ideas, shout out to all of his content.
00:14:37His stuff is brilliant.
00:14:38So I essentially did this whole setup on a bunch of Callaway's videos and then
00:14:43incorporated that into how I have called code approach hooks and outlines and
00:14:47titles and that sort of thing. But let's see this in action.
00:14:50And we're going to run the hook skill,
00:14:51the outline skill in the YouTube title skill on this potential Claude code rag
00:14:55video and see what it comes back with. So I told it,
00:14:57let's use your recommendation.
00:14:58Its recommendation was a context engineering type bent and said, Hey,
00:15:03let's run the hooks outline and YouTube's title skill on it.
00:15:05So here's what it brought us for the hook section, five variations.
00:15:09And then for each hook, it breaks it down into a spoken hook, a visual hook,
00:15:12as well as a potential text overlay. If we want to add that as well.
00:15:15Now the text overlay specifically are more for short form type stuff.
00:15:19So this isn't something I would implement with the long form hooks then moved to
00:15:22the outline and includes the target length.
00:15:24Some of the related documents that are also in our obsidian vault that we may want
00:15:28to reference. And then it has the hook. And then again, outline is just a section.
00:15:32So like general idea, you know, the core idea context engineering is this,
00:15:36we're gonna explain what context engineering is as well as the talking points.
00:15:39It also includes potential visual aid. So Hey,
00:15:42if I wanted to add some sort of Excalidraw diagram, here's what you could do.
00:15:45And then some of the source material if I wanted to reference that on screen as
00:15:48well. And it just repeats that for every single section.
00:15:51And then lastly moves into title options.
00:15:53And the nice thing with the title skills, it's not looking at it in a vacuum.
00:15:56It actually looks at all your previously performing titles to get a sense of like,
00:16:00okay, what's actually working for this guy.
00:16:02And then it breaks them down into tiers. So first tier context,
00:16:07engineering just made prompt engineering obsolete. And then it tells you, Hey,
00:16:10here's what I'm basing it on, right?
00:16:11Here's like the previous video that did X amount of views.
00:16:15This is why I think this title would work. And it does this for all of these tier,
00:16:18two titles are calculated risks. So these are a little out there,
00:16:21which is nice to know because chances are you can do some like ABC testing.
00:16:25So every once in a while it's worth throwing something crazy out there instead of
00:16:28doing like three tier one titles that are all kind of samey.
00:16:31And then it follows it up with thumbnail text options. And again,
00:16:34kind of the same system here. And so between these three skills, hooks,
00:16:38outlines in titles, we pretty much have like 90% of our video mapped out, right?
00:16:43The packaging is almost there in terms of the title and the hook and what's going
00:16:47to be on the thumbnail.
00:16:48And then the video outline essentially carries the actual content.
00:16:52The only thing that's not in here obviously is something related to building the
00:16:56thumbnail itself, but that's a personal preference.
00:16:58I really don't think AI is great at thumbnail creation in a vacuum.
00:17:02It's one thing if I show up with a specific idea,
00:17:04but it's so visual and it's so subjective. That's something I do purely manually.
00:17:08And once you're in this place and you're happy with how this was all created,
00:17:11now it's time to actually film the content, right? And that's purely manual.
00:17:15Like I'm not someone who does AI avatars or anything like that.
00:17:18I don't really think it's worth it in 99% of cases.
00:17:20So there's no real clogged good automation for the actual creation portion of
00:17:24this. And so that moves us into phase number four, which is distribution, right?
00:17:28And distribution has a few layers to it. Now there's the most obvious form of
00:17:32distribution, which is like, Hey,
00:17:33we want to post this video to something like YouTube or Instagram or Tik TOK.
00:17:37Very easy to create something like that inside of cloud code,
00:17:40like an automatic distribution system.
00:17:42You can tie it to a particular folder inside of your Google drive and create an
00:17:45automation that like on a trigger when something gets added, it does that.
00:17:48To be totally honest, I use cap cut for my video editing.
00:17:53And so like posting it to YouTube from there,
00:17:55posting it from Tik TOK there is very easy.
00:17:58And I honestly just manually post it to Instagram.
00:18:00Is that the most efficient thing in the world? No,
00:18:02but it works for me because it takes two seconds and I'm fine with that.
00:18:04Especially since I do for Instagram trial reels and trying to automate that
00:18:09portion of it is annoying. I don't even think it's possible,
00:18:11or at least it wasn't when I last tried. So for me, when it comes to distribution,
00:18:15I'm thinking more of repurposing,
00:18:18repurposing in terms of taking a video from say YouTube and turning that into text
00:18:22content on my website as a blog and then text content on LinkedIn and Twitter and
00:18:27short form repurposing, right? If I have a long form piece of content,
00:18:30how can I turn that into short form? And I'm not talking about just clipping it.
00:18:34I'm talking about, okay, how do we distill 30,
00:18:3640 minutes of me talking to someone on YouTube into a 30 second,
00:18:4060 second 90 second clip on shorts or Instagram or Tik TOK, right?
00:18:43So these two skills, my content cascade and my short form skill do this.
00:18:48Now the content cascade is all about that video to text distribution, right?
00:18:52I'm taking YouTube video. I'm turning into LinkedIn again, like all skills.
00:18:55This is very, very customizable.
00:18:58You may not have some sort of like a YouTube content fountain head, right?
00:19:02You could switch that up for anything though.
00:19:04You could point this skill at just an article or someone else's YouTube video,
00:19:07something you want to talk about in a text format.
00:19:09And this will take that and turn it into a blog, Twitter and LinkedIn, right?
00:19:15Obviously this skill in particular is tuned to my voice,
00:19:18but it's not too hard to change that.
00:19:19Especially if you use something like the skill creator skill,
00:19:22which will run tests on it. So when I run the content cascade skill,
00:19:26it automatically grabs the transcript from YouTube.
00:19:29It turns it into a blog post automatically posts that turns it into a Twitter
00:19:33thread with like seven different replies. Again,
00:19:35automatically post that once I approve it and then gives me a few variation of
00:19:39LinkedIn posts. Now I'll be first to say I'm kind of lazy when it comes to LinkedIn,
00:19:44but I don't automate the LinkedIn posts because I use something like lead shark.
00:19:48Well,
00:19:48I do usually jerk to kind of have the whole a lead magnet thing set up with that.
00:19:53So this does a great job of doing that because again,
00:19:57there's so many platforms, there's so many social media platforms.
00:20:01It's not realistic to be like, all right,
00:20:03now I'm going to like take this content and write, you know, these posts on my own.
00:20:07You know, I know myself, I'm more of a video content guy.
00:20:10So any way I can automate the tech side of it is great.
00:20:14And here on my website, I'm in the blog section and you can see it automatically,
00:20:17obviously creates the entire blog,
00:20:20but it also embeds the YouTube video has a bunch of SEO stuff.
00:20:24It's SEO, um, like forward.
00:20:28So the whole idea is this blog is less about, Oh,
00:20:31these articles are so good on my blog. And more of that,
00:20:33like as my content repository continues to grow, so does the blog,
00:20:38so does my visibility on things like Google search, right?
00:20:40Everything just ties into everything.
00:20:42Cause I sure as hell and not writing those blogs on my own.
00:20:45Although I did give it a ton of my own writing so it could see how I wrote,
00:20:48right? It stays away from things like the chat GPT isms, right? It's not X,
00:20:52it's Y right? So part of the skill,
00:20:55it takes a look at all the AI writing tropes and avoids them.
00:20:59And then last but not least is short form repurposing. Now,
00:21:02the short form repurposing is pretty basic.
00:21:05Essentially it's redoing all this stuff like the hooks, the outlines,
00:21:10right? And then it's just putting, you know, that into a 30, 60, 90 second format,
00:21:15right? It's giving you hooks to use.
00:21:16It's giving you potential captions in terms of like what pops up on the screen at
00:21:20the beginning. So this is just a condensed form of what we've already done.
00:21:23And because my short form is already being pointed at a long form video,
00:21:28all the work's kind of already done, right? It's just cutting a ton of the fat.
00:21:31But what that allows me to do is, you know,
00:21:33essentially take what I create on YouTube.
00:21:36And this just becomes like this monster that I can post a blog on my website.
00:21:41I can post on Twitter. I can post on LinkedIn. It becomes a short,
00:21:45it becomes an Instagram reel and it becomes a Tik TOK, right?
00:21:48Six platforms,
00:21:52six different pieces of content from one main thing I've created on YouTube,
00:21:55right? That's where the sort of the content cascade name comes from.
00:21:59And that's the beauty of this system because it doesn't just end at a YouTube
00:22:02video. The YouTube video itself becomes its own right little founded head of
00:22:06knowledge that we talked about before, but it's for you.
00:22:09So that is my cloud code content system.
00:22:11It is essentially my collaborator on steroids. Like I've said before,
00:22:14every step of this process, like I'm going back and forth with Claude.
00:22:17I am not expecting it to give me a perfect product at the end,
00:22:20but I offload so much legwork to it. All the analysis,
00:22:24all of the competitive research, all of like the hooks,
00:22:27all the baseline ideation, like it does all of that.
00:22:29And it lets me kind of focus on the high leverage things. Furthermore,
00:22:32once I create a piece of content,
00:22:34it gives me a very simple to X execute path towards
00:22:39distributing it in different forms of multiple platforms, right?
00:22:42Which is what leads to something like a 10 million month as a single person
00:22:46without any quote unquote viral posts.
00:22:48So if you want to get your hands on all the exact skills,
00:22:50the Twitter research engine, the GitHub script and the cloud code masterclass,
00:22:55make sure to check out chase AI. Plus again,
00:22:57there's a link to that in the description in the comments.
00:23:00There's also a link to my free JCA community in the description.
00:23:04If you want a bunch of free resources and just getting started with AI.
00:23:07But other than that, let me know what you thought and I'll see you around.

Key Takeaway

Achieving 10 million monthly views as a solo creator requires a four-phase automation framework—Research, Ideation, Scripting, and Distribution—that treats AI as a high-volume collaborator rather than a fully autonomous replacement.

Highlights

A content system built on seven Claude Code skills generated 10 million views across 90 videos in 30 days without external editors or assistants.

The 10 million view milestone resulted from high-volume consistency—90 individual uploads—rather than a single viral hit exceeding 400,000 views.

The 'YouTube Pipeline' skill offloads video and PDF analysis to NotebookLM and Gemini servers to save Claude Code tokens while generating terminal-based deliverables.

A custom Twitter scraping web app built with Claude Code scores tweets every 45 minutes based on velocity, authority, and repliability to identify trending topics before they hit YouTube.

The 'Content Cascade' automation transforms a single YouTube long-form video into SEO-optimized blog posts, Twitter threads, and LinkedIn updates to enable distribution across six platforms simultaneously.

Automated GitHub tracking identifies the top 10 trending AI repositories from the last seven days and delivers a daily summary directly into an Obsidian vault.

Timeline

Solo Content Production at Scale

  • A 30-day output of 30 long-form and 60 short-form videos resulted in 99,000 new followers across YouTube, Instagram, and TikTok.
  • Sustainable systems allow a single person to manage professional-level content volume without working 16-hour days.
  • Success relies on a '90 jabs' strategy where consistent mid-range performance outweighs the need for lucky viral hits.

High-volume content creation is possible for a 'team of one' when repeatable systems replace manual labor. The statistics show that 10 million views can be aggregated through sheer volume rather than relying on a singular piece of content to carry the channel. This approach prioritizes sustainability and predictability over the uncertainty of the algorithm.

Phase 1 and 2: Automated Research and Ideation

  • The YouTube Pipeline skill bridges Claude Code and NotebookLM to analyze external URLs and documents without consuming local tokens.
  • Research and ideation function as a continuous cycle where new data informs further creative angles.
  • A terminal-based CLI tool automates the sourcing and analysis of YouTube content to produce slide decks, videos, and reports.

The research phase focuses on offloading heavy analytical tasks to Google's servers via the NotebookLM PI CLI tool. This integration allows for the processing of large PDFs and long videos directly from the terminal. By automating the 'bridge' between data sources and the AI, the system generates comprehensive reports that serve as the foundation for new content ideas.

Identifying Knowledge Fountainheads

  • Information in the tech niche typically originates on GitHub or Twitter before migrating to YouTube days later.
  • A custom Twitter engine uses the Apify tweet scraper and Supabase to filter and score tweets for 'velocity' and 'repliability'.
  • An automated GitHub script delivers the top 10 trending AI repositories of the week into an Obsidian vault every morning.

Being first to a topic requires monitoring the 'fountainhead' of information where news breaks. The Twitter scraping app sends updates to Telegram every 30 to 45 minutes to ensure the creator stays ahead of trends. Similarly, the GitHub automation provides daily insights into repository star counts and coding languages, filtering for relevant AI projects to avoid manual searching.

Phase 3: Strategic Scripting and Collaborative Drafting

  • The Ideation skill analyzes the competitive landscape to identify 'saturated angles' and 'open gaps' in existing content.
  • AI functions best as a collaborator that offers multiple ranked options rather than a tool for total hands-off automation.
  • Maintaining a human 'creative bent' prevents the output from becoming generic or losing the creator's unique voice.

The ideation process places research into a real-world context by looking at what competitors have already published. Claude Code generates nine different video options, ranking them based on potential audience resonance and desire mapping. This collaborative approach ensures the creator remains in the driver's seat, making final decisions on which angles to pursue based on AI-generated performance outliers.

Packaging and Visual Planning

  • Scripting is restricted to high-impact areas like the first 30 seconds of a video, while the rest remains outline-based for natural delivery.
  • The Title skill generates tiered options ranging from safe, high-probability wins to 'calculated risks' for A/B testing.
  • Visual planning includes AI-suggested text overlays for short-form content and Excalidraw diagram concepts for long-form education.

Effective packaging involves analyzing previously successful titles to inform new ones. The system generates five variations for every hook, including specific visual cues and spoken lines. By focusing on the 'packaging'—the hook, title, and thumbnail concept—the system ensures the video is clickable before the actual filming begins.

Phase 4: Multi-Platform Distribution and Cascading

  • The 'Content Cascade' repurposes long-form video transcripts into SEO-friendly blog posts and Twitter threads.
  • Short-form repurposing distills 30-minute videos into 60-second clips by cutting 'fat' and focusing on primary hooks.
  • Automation logic specifically excludes 'AI writing tropes' and 'ChatGPT-isms' by training the skill on the creator's past writing.

Distribution is treated as a method of maximizing visibility across six different platforms from a single source of effort. The system automatically posts to a website blog, complete with embedded videos and SEO metadata, while simultaneously drafting social media threads. This multi-layered distribution ensures that a single YouTube video grows the creator's presence on Google Search, LinkedIn, and Instagram without manual rewriting.
