| description | Write, rewrite, and structure complete Chinese public-education explainer video scripts in the "朝阳不吐不快" style. Use when Codex needs to draft a full script from a topic, outline, Excalidraw canvas, research notes, or existing .docx/.md script; preserve conclusion-first framing, misconception correction, lecture-like pacing, definitions, mechanisms, examples, evidence, risk boundaries, and Markdown-first output. Pair with zhaoyang-excalidraw-explainer for canvas work; this skill does not draw Excalidraw canvases. |
Zhaoyang Explainer Scriptwriter
Purpose
Use this skill to produce complete Chinese explainer-video scripts that sound like a dense, direct, lecture-style science popularization account. Optimize for clarity, argument flow, and speakability.
Default to Markdown output. Do not create a .docx unless the user asks for Word export. For detailed style rules, read references/script-style-profile.md. For source-corpus boundaries, read references/corpus-notes.md.
Core Workflow
-
Identify the viewer's likely misunderstanding.
- Ask: "普通人最容易误会什么?"
- Turn the misunderstanding into the opening tension.
-
Put the conclusion near the start.
- Say the useful judgment first.
- Then explain why the judgment is not obvious.
- If the topic involves money, policy, risk, or investment, include a clear non-advice boundary.
-
Build the script in this order:
- Problem
- Conclusion
- Definition
- Mechanism
- Example, history, data, or formula
- Misconception correction
- Risk boundary
- Final takeaway
-
Write as spoken explanation.
- Use short paragraphs.
- Prefer direct transitions: "问题在于", "真正核心是", "所以", "这里要分清".
- Use contrast structures: "不是 X,而是 Y".
- Split hard concepts before judging them.
- Keep factual claims checkable and avoid fake certainty.
-
Add canvas hooks when useful.
- Include brief
[画布提示] notes for concepts, arrows, formulas, or evidence blocks.
- Keep canvas hooks short; full drawing decisions belong to

Default Markdown Shape
Use this structure unless the user provides a different format:
# 标题
## 开场结论
...
## 正文
### 1. 先把问题说清楚
...
### 2. 定义:这东西到底是什么
...
### 3. 机制:为什么会这样
...
### 4. 误区:普通人容易想错在哪
...
### 5. 风险边界:哪些情况不能乱推
...
## 结尾
...
## 画布提示
- ...
Voice Rules
- Be direct, not polite fluff.
- Be skeptical of easy stories.
- Use "我先把结论放在前面" style framing when the answer matters.
- Use judgment, but explain the chain of reasoning immediately after the judgment.
- Do not use motivational slogans, sales language, or exaggerated emotional hooks.
- Do not write like an encyclopedia entry; define terms only when they help the argument move.
- Do not bury the core claim after a long background section.
Revision Rules
When rewriting an existing script:
- Preserve the user's core viewpoint unless it is factually unsafe.
- Strengthen the opening conclusion and section transitions.
- Cut repeated setup, empty throat-clearing, and vague claims.
- Move long definitions after the viewer knows why they matter.
- Turn dense paragraphs into spoken beats.
- Add risk boundaries where the script could be mistaken for investment, legal, or policy advice.
Coordination With Excalidraw
- If the user gives an Excalidraw file, extract the argument path before writing.
- If the user gives only a topic, write the script first and include short canvas hooks at the end.
- If both this skill and
zhaoyang-excalidraw-explainer apply, use this skill for the full narration and the Excalidraw skill for the visual knowledge map.
