Script Writer

Write scripts for videos, podcasts, presentations, and live events with proper pacing, natural language, and audience engagement techniques. Designed to sound spoken, not read.

Usage

Provide the format, topic, duration, and audience. The skill produces:

• Cold Open: Hook that grabs attention in the first 10 seconds
• Introduction: Establish credibility and set expectations
• Body Sections: Content organized with transitions and pacing notes
• Engagement Points: Questions, stories, and interaction moments
• Visual/Audio Cues: [B-roll], [show graphic], [music transition] markers
• Closing: Recap, CTA, and sign-off
• Timing Guide: Estimated duration for each section

Formats: YouTube, podcast, webinar, keynote, product demo, explainer video, short-form (TikTok/Reels).

Examples

1. YouTube Tutorial: "Write a 10-minute YouTube script on 'How to Set Up a Home Server with Docker.' Audience: intermediate tech enthusiasts. Include B-roll cues."

1. Podcast Episode: "Script a 30-minute podcast episode interviewing a startup founder about their journey from idea to $1M ARR. Include questions, transitions, and sponsor break placement."

1. Webinar: "Create a 45-minute webinar script on '2026 Marketing Trends.' Include interactive polls, Q&A sections, and a soft pitch for our platform at the end."

1. Short-Form: "Write 5 TikTok/Reels scripts (30-60 seconds each) about common coding mistakes. Need strong hooks in the first 2 seconds."

Guidelines

• Write for the ear, not the eye — read every line aloud during editing
• Hook viewers in the first 5-10 seconds or they'll scroll/click away
• Use short sentences and conversational language — long, complex sentences sound unnatural when spoken
• Include pacing notes: [PAUSE], [EMPHASIS], [SPEED UP], [SLOW DOWN]
• Structure for attention: make a promise early, deliver on it, and tease what's coming next
• Plan visual elements alongside the script — video is visual-first, audio is secondary
• For YouTube, name-drop the video topic in the first 30 seconds for SEO (YouTube transcribes and indexes)
