name: video-matching description: "Matches newsletter entries to official YouTube videos from VS Code and GitHub channels. Fetches RSS feeds, matches by topic, and adds Video (Xm) links to relevant newsletter bullets. Use as Phase 4.6 after polishing and before editorial review. Keywords: video matching, youtube, video links, phase 4.6, enrichment." metadata: category: domain phase: "4.6"

Enrich newsletter entries with links to matching official YouTube videos from the VS Code and GitHub channels.

Newsletter: output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md (required)
YouTube RSS feeds (fetch these):
- VS Code channel: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UCs5Y5_7XK8HLDX0SLNwkd3w
- GitHub channel: https://www.youtube.com/feeds/videos.xml?channel_id=UC7c3Kb6jYCRj4JOHHZTxKsQ

Enriched Newsletter: output/YYYY-MM_month_newsletter.md (overwrite in place)
Video Matching Report: workspace/newsletter_phase4_6_video_matches_YYYY-MM-DD.md
Record receipt with phase id phase4_6_video

Fetch both YouTube RSS feeds. Each returns the 15 most recent videos with:

<title> — Video title
<link> — YouTube URL (format: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VIDEO_ID or /shorts/VIDEO_ID)
<published> — Publication date
<media:description> — Full description with chapters, links, and speaker info

Parse both feeds and build a combined video inventory.

INCLUDE videos that are:

Published within the newsletter's DATE_RANGE (or up to 2 weeks before/after)
About GitHub Copilot, VS Code, agents, MCP, security, or enterprise features
Full-length videos (>2 minutes) or Shorts that directly demonstrate a named feature

EXCLUDE:

For each video, attempt to match it to a newsletter entry using these signals (in priority order):

Title keyword match: Video title contains a key phrase from the newsletter entry (e.g., "Subagents" matches "Parallel Subagents (GA)")
Description link match: Video description links to the same changelog/release-notes URL as the newsletter entry
Topic overlap: Video covers the same feature area (e.g., a video about "MCP Apps" matches the "MCP Ecosystem Expansion" bullet)

Confidence levels:

HIGH (90%+): Title directly references the feature name OR description links to the same changelog URL. Add the link.
MEDIUM (60-80%): Topic overlap but not a direct title/URL match. Add only if no HIGH match exists for that entry.
LOW (<60%): Tangential connection. Do NOT add.

The RSS feed does NOT include video duration. Estimate using these heuristics:

Shorts (/shorts/ in URL): Label as (1m)
VS Code Live / livestream: Label as (60m) (typically 1-2 hours, but 60m is a safe estimate)
Podcast episodes: Label as (25m)
Regular videos: Label as (5m) unless description chapters suggest longer (sum chapter timestamps)
If the description contains chapter timestamps (e.g., "14:56 In summary"), use the last timestamp rounded up to estimate duration

For each matched entry, append a [Video (Xm)](URL) link. Place it alongside existing links using the standard pipe separator:

Before:

-   **Parallel Subagents (`GA`)** -- Description. - [Release Notes](URL) | [Docs](URL)

After:

-   **Parallel Subagents (`GA`)** -- Description. - [Release Notes](URL) | [Docs](URL) | [Video (25m)](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GMAoTeD9siU)

For inline-linked entries (7+ links), add the video link at the end of the "See also:" line or as the last inline link.
