Brief

@coreyganim adapted Riley Brown's Codex + ScrapeCreators demo on 2026-08-03 to create a "Riley YouTube Intro" Codex skill: he scraped Riley's top 10 YouTube intros via the ScrapeCreators API, feeds his transcripts, and generates brand-voiced intros. He tested it on two morning videos, claims a 10x quality improvement, and recommends ScrapeCreators (no affiliation).

Why it matters

On 2026-08-03 @coreyganim used OpenAI Codex plus the ScrapeCreators API to scrape Riley Brown's top 10 YouTube video intros and built a Codex skill named "Riley YouTube Intro" that accepts his transcript and outputs intros in his brand voice.

Key details

  • He tested the new skill on two videos recorded the morning of the post and reports the intro output is "10x better" than his previous YouTube intro skill.
  • Not affiliated, he recommends checking out @ScrapeCreators after adapting Riley Brown's demo; workflow: ScrapeCreators API → Codex "Riley YouTube Intro" skill → brand-voice output.
Source evidence

if you make content and you're not using ScrapeCreators to build reference files on what the top dogs are doing you're insane.

Saw @rileybrown demo Codex + Scrapecreators API use cases recently and adapted it for my youtube intros.

  1. used codex + scrapecreators api scrape Riley's top 10 youtube video intros
  2. built a skill called "Riley YouTube Intro" in codex that takes my transcript as input
  3. outputs intros in my voice (using my brand voice skill) that mimic the formats of Riley's top intros

tested it today on 2 videos I recorded this morning and the quality is 10x better than my previous youtube intro skill.

not affiliated in any way but I highly recommend checking out @ScrapeCreators
