A creator turns each YouTube video into a newsletter in 15 minutes
In plain words
A Claude Code skill pulls the video transcript, writes the newsletter in the creator's template, then drafts it in Beehiiv.
What happened: A newsletter takes about 15 minutes instead of half a day (their own figures).
These numbers come from the builder and haven't been checked independently.

The instructions to give the AI
Paste this into Claude (the free plan is fine), swap the [brackets] for your details, and test it on a few real examples.
This is one part of the setup. It won't connect to your phone, inbox or other apps on its own; the steps above cover that.
Agent instructions (prompt)
Here's my video transcript: [paste] and my newsletter template: [paste]. Turn the video into this week's newsletter in my words — reshape, don't invent. Subject line options x3, then the issue. 700 words max.
[Highlighted] = replace with your own details before you run it.
What you should get back: Three subject lines and a ready-to-edit newsletter built only from what you said in the video.
Written by Quickly and Good, inspired by this case.
