Video Note Publishing

Transform video notes from /Users/joel/Vault/Resources/videos/ into published MDX notes on the joelclaw.com site at apps/web/content/.

Source format

Vault video notes are Obsidian markdown with this frontmatter:

type: video
source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ID
channel: Channel Name
published: YYYY-MM-DD
duration: "HH:MM:SS"
nas_path: /volume1/home/joel/video/...
transcribed: YYYY-MM-DD
tags:
  - video

Body contains: H1 title, > [!info] Source callout, Executive Summary, Key Points, Speaker Context, Notable Quotes, Related links, Tags, and a collapsible Full Transcript.

Output format

Publish as .mdx in apps/web/content/ with this frontmatter:

title: "Short descriptive title"
type: "note"
date: "YYYY-MM-DD"        # use today's date
description: "One-sentence hook in Joel's voice"
source: "YouTube URL"
channel: "Channel Name"
duration: "HH:MM:SS"

Transformation workflow

  1. Read the source vault note
  2. Extract YouTube video ID from the source URL
  3. Write the note in Joel's voice (read joel-writing-style skill — it's in the same .agents/skills/ directory). Key rules:

- Open with a hook, not a summary - Use Joel’s supplied framing where relevant; never invent his experience, beliefs, or personal reaction - Use short paragraphs, strategic profanity, bold for emphasis - End abruptly — no forced wrap-up

  1. Embed the video with <YouTube id="VIDEO_ID" /> after the intro
  2. Select source-supported material appropriate for the publication audience. Exclude the full transcript, private context, customer information, and paid corpus material. Then adapt relevant sections:

- Executive summary → rewrite as the intro (Joel's voice) - Key points → keep substance, tighten prose - Speaker context → "Who is [Speaker]" section - Notable quotes → curated "Quotes that stuck with me" - Related links → keep as "Related" section

  1. Strip Obsidian syntax: > [!info] callouts → plain text, [[wikilinks]] → markdown links
  2. Slug: kebab-case, concise (e.g., openclaw-peter-steinberger-lex-fridman)

Voice reference

For Joel's writing style details, read [joel-writing-style SKILL.md](../joel-writing-style/SKILL.md) and its [voice examples](../joel-writing-style/references/voice-examples.md). Key points:

  • Use first person only for Joel’s documented words or supplied experience. Address the reader directly when useful.
  • Contractions always
  • Bold for inline emphasis on key phrases
  • Emoji sparingly (1-2 per note max)
  • Headers as narrative beats, not outlines
  • Links woven into sentences, never "click here"
  • Credit people by name with links
