Nova YouTube Agent: automation for Hermes Agent

YouTube growth agent for Hermes Agent: channel analysis, competitor scans, ideas, scripts and performance logs

What Nova YouTube Agent does

Nova turns scattered YouTube planning into one workflow inside Hermes Agent. After an onboarding interview about your channel, audience, goals, voice, competitors and boundaries, it checks what you already posted, what is approved, rejected or scheduled, how the channel performs, and what competitors and outlier videos are doing. It then recommends an idea backed by evidence and turns it into a script and upload package.

The upload package covers description, tags, chapters, title variants, a thumbnail concept and a pinned comment. Nova keeps a private memory folder of Markdown files such as posted-videos.md, approved-ideas.md, rejected-ideas.md and performance-log.md, which are gitignored, so it avoids repeating old ideas and learns from results. Recommendations carry evidence labels like channel-data-backed, competitor-backed and strategic judgment, and Nova is meant to say so when vidIQ data is unavailable instead of presenting fallback data as vidIQ.
