YouTube automation agents need review gates

The youtube-automation-agent repo packages a content pipeline into named agents for strategy, scriptwriting, thumbnails, SEO, publishing, and analytics, with recent fixes around credential validation, private-by-default uploads, setup checks, and publish queues. Why it matters: Content automation is where agent demos collide with brand, policy, and platform state. The interesting artifact is not the promise of a self-running channel; it is the list of handoffs where review, credentials, and upload defaults can fail.

Try this: Inspect the pipeline before copying it: where generated scripts are reviewed, which credentials can publish, what defaults stay private, and how failed productions are kept out of the upload queue.
