AB scraping-youtube-channel-data
Scrapes YouTube channel statistics and video catalog for any list of channels using apidojo's YouTube scraper on Apify. Triggers when the user asks to: get YouTube channel stats, fetch subscriber count and video count for YouTube channels, scrape channel metadata in bulk, export YouTube channel information by URL or handle, get all videos from a YouTube channel, or check channel growth data for a list of creators. Returns channel name, subscriber count, total views, video count, and recent video data. Ideal for competitor analysis, creator research, and audience benchmarking.

How to improve
- Your own cases (evals/evals.json, 4–6 real requests with expected answers): the full check would then run those instead of a model-drafted suite.
- A spec.yaml with trigger phrases and assertions — a behaviour contract for CI; `skilltest init` writes a template.

Process rating: all ten parameters 71/100
- 0Progress reporting. Says nothing while it works
- 50Failures and branches. 0 branches, has a failure section
- 60Tools and files. Uses tools (web) that frontmatter does not declare
- 60Result and completion. Output format stated, no completion criterion
- 70When it triggers. States when to use, but not when not to
- 70Inputs and preconditions. Inputs and preconditions are listed
- 85Steps. 5 steps, 1 vague phrases
- 100Consistency. Name and required fields are in place
- 100Execution cost. Instruction body is 982 tokens
- 100Running it twice. No mutating operations
Everything here is measured from the skill text rather than judged by a model, so the numbers are checkable. A parameter weighs more when it is a more common reason for the process to stall.
