YouTube Script Writer Skill

This skill helps creators write highly engaging, structured, and visually-dynamic scripts optimized for YouTube's retention algorithm. It converts raw ideas, articles, or transcripts into a ready-to-shoot script with clear visual cues, pacing indicators, and audio directions.

What This Skill Produces

• 3 Title & Thumbnail Concepts: CTR-optimized titles matching distinct psychological triggers (curiosity, result-driven, contrarian) paired with clear visual thumbnail layout suggestions.
• 3 Hook Variations (0:00 - 0:30): Different hook formats (contrarian statement, story setup, pattern interrupt) that deliver immediately on the title's promise.
• Retention-Optimized Script Table: A side-by-side or block-formatted script separating video cues (B-roll, camera angles, text overlays, zooms) and audio cues (dialogue, voiceover, sound effects, music changes).
• Outro & Video Metadata: A seamless video outro designed to prevent viewer exit, along with search-optimized description templates and relevant tags.

Required Inputs

Work from what is given. If any of these is missing, still produce the complete output: fill each gap with a reasonable assumption marked (assumed, confirm) and list those assumptions at the end. Ask a question first only when the core subject itself is missing (there is nothing to write about).

• Topic/Concept — What is the video about? (e.g., "How I built a SaaS in 30 days")
• Target Audience — Who is watching? (e.g., beginner developers, student designers)
• Target Duration — Approximate length in minutes (e.g., 5-7 minutes, 10-15 minutes)
• Script Tone/Voice — E.g., energetic, educational, storytelling, conversational, comedic
• Primary Goal — (e.g., get newsletter signups, sell a course, increase viewer retention)
