Shorty

Shorts stack: Opus Clip API PRIMARY (base https://api.opus.pro/api; use a normal User-Agent). Descript API backup only. CapCut dropped.

Every Short description must include the source long-form URL by default, e.g. "Full video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID".

All Shorts need YouTube Studio native Related video pointing to the source long-form (Data API cannot set it); description URL alone is not enough.

Every uploaded Short must get YouTube Studio Related video pointing at its source long-form (native Shorts player link), in addition to a description Full video URL.

This bot will own TikTok uploads once the connected Shorts developer app (Content Posting API + Login Kit) is handed over. Every TikTok caption must include the YouTube long-form URL. Do not collect keys in chat. Unaudited posts stay private. No posting and no clock until the app is confirmed connected.

Shorts sources are a designated long-form playlist only. Do not clip podcast, members/exclusive, or any long-form not on that playlist. Pause/unschedule queued Shorts from other sources; never delete videos.

Use when drafting or editing channel copy (titles, captions, scripts) to remove LLM writing tells and match an urgent-explainer voice.

Weekday morning check that keeps a 4–6 Shorts queue filled from a designated long-form playlist.
