YouTube Chapters & Description From Your Outline
Turn a video outline with timestamps, a title and an audience into a checked YouTube description, valid chapters, keyword notes and a placeholder-only links block. YouTube Description & Chapters Planner turns a video outline or transcript summary (with approximate timestamps or section lengths), a title and an audience into a checked YouTube description plan: an opening whose first 2 lines work above the fold, a chapter list in YouTube format, a keyword placement note and a links and credits block with clearly marked placeholders. It plans text; it cannot see the video, and it never invents a timestamp or a link.
Example input
[HAND-WRITTEN FICTIONAL SAMPLE - invented for testing.] Title: Repot a Root-Bound Monstera Without Killing It. Audience: beginner houseplant owners with one big plant that stopped growing.

The gap is 12 seconds (10 or more), so the default fix is applied, labelled (assumed): a chapter "0:00 Intro". Please confirm what the first 12 seconds really are. - [T-SHORT] "Loosening and trimming roots" at 6:10 runs only 6 seconds before the next section at 6:16.

No T-SUM flag: total length was given, not section durations. - Status: READY WITH FIXES. ## Paste-ready description ``` Repot a root-bound monstera step by step: spot the signs, pick a pot and soil, trim the roots. …
