Yt Strategy Agent

YT Strategy Agent

A 24/7 system that watches a list of YouTube channels and turns the last 5 videos from each into a living trading-strategy document — automatically updated as new videos drop.

For every channel you watch, you get:

• strategy.md — the deduced strategy in plain English
• rules.json — structured buy rules, sell rules, risk notes, timing notes
• changelog.md — append-only log of when the strategy shifts
• trades.md — executed trades the host called out
• videos/.md — per-video extracted notes + transcript

Plus an **email alert** to your inbox (sent from your own Gmail) whenever:

• a new video drops
• the deduced strategy shifts
• a new trade is called out

Newer videos are weighted more heavily, similar rules are grouped automatically, and strategy changes get flagged the moment they happen.

How to set it up

This repo is designed to be set up by an AI agent walking you through it.

1. Install Claude Code (or any agent CLI of your choice).
2. Make a fresh empty folder, cd into it, start Claude Code.
3. Paste the entire contents of `PROMPT.md` as your first message.
4. Follow along — the agent opens browser tabs, runs commands, and gets you live in about 20 minutes.

Currently macOS only. Windows and Linux versions coming.
