Short Video Opening Optimizer
Purpose
Create or review the first 0-3s of a paper explainer so the viewer understands why the episode matters before they scroll away. This skill replaces the missing exact GitHub short-video-opening-optimizer repository with a local project skill built from reviewed short-video copywriter, social-content, editing-coach, and thumbnail patterns.
Use When
- Drafting platform hooks before
script-storyboard-writer locks a script.
- Reviewing a first frame, title card, or opening spoken line.
- Preparing first-frame notes for
frame-spec-writer.
Hook Score
Score each opening variant on:
- visual hook
- verbal hook
- text overlay
- audience promise
- technical credibility
- platform fit
- non-clickbait integrity
Platform Families
- Chinese short-video: Douyin, Xiaohongshu, Bilibili.
- Overseas short-video: TikTok, YouTube Shorts.
- Long/feed variants: YouTube, X.
Paper Explainer Defaults
- Prefer knowledge-gap, contradiction, modern-AI relevance, and Feynman analogy hooks.
- Keep the first visual inspectable on a phone.
- Use a short on-screen text overlay, not a paragraph.
- Make the first claim technically reviewable and not clickbait.
- Record which hook feeds
script-storyboard-writer and which first-frame note feeds frame-spec-writer.
Forbidden Actions
- Do not invent paper claims.
- Do not weaken technical accuracy for retention.
- Do not output title or caption variants that contradict the reviewed script.
- Do not auto-publish.
- Do not run provider, LLM, TTS, HyperFrames, Manim, or network calls.
