codex-marketing-skills — Claude Code skill: install
A set of skills for YouTube research, Readwise, diagrams, video work, and social publishing. Use it for marketing workflows in AI coding agents.
npx skills add reason-machines/marketing-skills --skill codex-marketing-skills -a claude-codeWhat codex-marketing-skills does
codex-marketing-skills bundles modules for YouTube, Readwise, Excalidraw, Paper, Remotion, fal.ai, brand-deal research, and Buffer. It can search videos and transcripts, inspect opening hooks, find saved research, produce editable diagrams, and prepare posts for social channels.
You copy the module you need into the skill directory of your agent. YouTube research uses SUPADATA_API_KEY and SERPAPI_KEY; the Buffer module uses BUFFER_API_KEY, while Gen Media uses FAL_KEY. The diagram module requires excalidraw-cli. Paper MCP also needs the Paper desktop app and a local MCP server running.
The YouTube Researcher will fail to fetch its data without SUPADATA_API_KEY and SERPAPI_KEY.
What it helps with
- search YouTube channels and inspect their opening hooks
- find and export research from Readwise
- build editable diagrams with Excalidraw
- produce video and motion assets with Remotion
- prepare and schedule posts for social channels

- Create an editable Excalidraw funnel from this description and save it as
funnel.excalidraw.
