Short-Form Script Skill

Short-form lives and dies in the first 3 seconds, then by whether each beat earns the next. This skill writes a script engineered for watch-time and re-watches — tight hook, momentum, a payoff worth sharing — not a talking-head ramble.

Working from a brief

Given a topic or a long-form source, write the full script anyway, inferring the angle and the single takeaway. Keep total spoken copy to ~30–45s (≈80–120 words). Never pad to fill time — short and re-watchable beats long.

Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):

• Topic / the idea (or a long-form video/post to cut down)
• Platform (TikTok / Reels / Shorts) and rough length (15/30/60s)
• Creator voice (or pull from a [[creator-brand-kit]]) and the CTA (follow, link in bio, comment)

The one takeaway

The single thing a viewer remembers. Everything serves this.
