## What it does

This skill covers a dashboard for YouTube channel analytics. It follows views, watch time, subscriber gains, estimated revenue and audience demographics, showing both live figures and past periods. You also get per-video breakdowns and report exports in CSV or PDF.

Under the hood it talks to YouTube Data API v3. You need a Google Cloud project with the API turned on, an API key or OAuth 2.0 credentials, and the `youtube.readonly` and `yt-analytics.readonly` scopes. Settings live in `config.json`: API key, channel ID, refresh interval, retention window and the export folder. The key and channel ID come from the `YOUTUBE_API_KEY` and `YOUTUBE_CHANNEL_ID` environment variables.

The dashboard targets Windows 10 or 11 (64-bit) and needs .NET Framework 4.8+ or the Visual C++ Redistributable. Without an API key and a channel ID there is nothing to chart, so line those up first.
