yt-retention
The retention graph is the only honest feedback YouTube gives you. Almost nobody exports it.
python3 retention.py retention.csv --duration 600
python3 retention.py retention.csv --transcript transcript.srtGetting the file: Studio -> a video -> Analytics -> Engagement -> the audience-retention chart -> the download icon -> "Audience retention".
Three different problems
- HOOK LEAK - what is lost in the first 30 seconds. Under 25% is healthy. This is always the
first thing to fix and it is always the first fifteen seconds of script, never the edit.
- CLIFFS - single steep drops. A cliff is a moment: a topic change with no signposting, a
sponsor read, a long setup. With --transcript the tool prints what was being said there, which is what makes the report actionable instead of interesting.
- SLIDE - the steady bleed across the middle. A flat slide is pacing. The fix is cutting, not
rewriting.
What to hand back
Name the single biggest leak and one change for it. Not a list of five. Then, only if asked, the rest. And if the hook leak is healthy and the slide is flat, say the video is fine and the problem is packaging - send them to /yt-package.
The gate
Nothing here publishes. This skill writes and you publish. Every output ends in a block the user copies, and the last line of every run is the question: ship it, or change it?
