## The prompt

```text
I want to learn the skill of [SKILL TO LEARN, e.g. writing LinkedIn posts that get clients]. Find the 20 most-watched YouTube videos on this topic from the last 6 months. Go through each one and pull out the specific advice, steps, and examples. Then combine everything into one playbook for a [YOUR ROLE, e.g. business coach] who's a beginner at this.

Rules:
1. When the same point shows up in several videos, give it more weight and tell me how many videos said it.
2. Put the most agreed-on advice first.
3. Flag any advice where the videos disagree, and explain both sides in one line each.
4. Skip fluff, sponsor reads, and channel plugs.
5. End with a 7-day practice plan, one small task per day.

List the videos you used at the bottom, with titles and channel names.
```

## Step by step

1. Pick the skill you want to learn, like writing LinkedIn posts or pricing a coaching package.
2. Open Gemini, which can open YouTube videos directly, and paste the prompt.
