Decision Checklist
Before pursuing business opportunities, ask:
- Company stage? (startup, growth, enterprise)
- Current revenue mix? (concentration risk)
- Partnership capacity? (team to manage relationships)
- Market readiness? (validated demand vs assumption)
- Strategic fit? (alignment with core business)
Critical Rules
- Strategic fit before terms — Misaligned partnerships fail regardless of economics
- Start small, prove value — Pilots reduce risk; expand after validation
- Walk-away point defined — Know your limits before negotiation starts
- Pipeline quality over quantity — 10 qualified leads beat 100 cold contacts
- Exit clauses matter — Partnerships end; plan for it upfront
- Customer concentration is risk — No single customer should threaten survival

YouTube
@byungkyuYouTube Data API integration with managed OAuth. Search videos, manage playlists, access channel data, and interact with comments. Use this skill when users want to interact with YouTube. For other third party apps, use the api-gateway skill (https://clawhub.ai/byungkyu/api-gateway). Calls run through the `maton` CLI with OAuth login, or over raw HTTP with a Maton API key where the CLI cannot be installed. Every call is authenticated as the user's connection and reaches only what that connection's authorization allows, which the provider enforces on every request; the endpoints documented here are the ones this skill uses, and any other endpoint of this app needs the user to ask for it by name. Default to read and list calls, and confirm every write or new connection with the user. This file also documents the three constructs that turn a YouTube connection into automation, in the order they are used: the connection (the first step), a hosted function that runs a YouTube action through the Maton SDK, and a trigger that calls that function on a schedule or on an event. Those sections are the platform's own reference text, shared with the api-gateway skill, with YouTube examples; they add no YouTube capability - YouTube is not an event source, a trigger cannot read YouTube data, and the files under `references/<source>/triggers.md` are the platform's event catalogues for the sources Maton offers (time, Calendly, GitHub, Gmail, HubSpot, Linear, Notion, Slack, Stripe).
