Short Video Script

Use this skill when the task is to write a short social video script.

Workflow

1. Confirm the platform, audience, goal, duration, language, creator voice, and desired action.
2. Choose a format: talking head, demo, before/after, list, myth-busting, story, reaction, tutorial, or UGC-style ad.
3. Write a strong first-three-second hook that makes the viewer know why to keep watching.
4. Structure the body around one idea, proof, contrast, or transformation.
5. Add on-screen text, caption beats, visual cues, B-roll notes, and CTA.
6. Tighten for spoken rhythm, retention, platform norms, and total runtime.

Rules

• One short video should make one main point.
• Use spoken, natural language instead of essay-style paragraphs.
• Keep hooks specific; avoid generic openings like "In this video".
• Match CTA intensity to the viewer's stage: save, comment, click, buy, follow, or share.
• Provide variants when the user is testing hooks or angles.

Handoff

• For UGC ad structure, use ugc-video-ads.
• For shot-level planning, use storyboard-creation.
• For voiceover generation, use text-to-speech.
• For captions, use subtitle-captions.
