Short-Form Script

Q: How do I know the Short-Form Script output is good?

The skill verifies itself against its own quality checks: The 0–3s hook is specific and pattern-breaking; it can be said in ~2–3s; Total spoken copy fits the target length (no padding); Retention beats each earn the next; at least one pattern interrupt; On-screen text and B-roll cues are concrete and editor-ready.

Write a short-form video script for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts — built on the hook→retention→payoff structure that drives watch-time. Use when asked to script a Reel, TikTok, Short, or any 15–60s vertical video. Produces a timed script with a 0–3s hook, retention beats with on-screen text and B-roll cues, a payoff, and a CTA — plus a caption and on-screen-text list. Distinct from long-form YouTube scripting.

What to give it

▸Topic / the idea — or a long-form video/post to cut down

▸Platform — (TikTok / Reels / Shorts) and rough length (15/30/60s)

▸Creator voice — (or pull from a [[creator-brand-kit]]) and the CTA (follow, link in bio, comment)

✅ The bar it holds itself to

Every skill in this library self-verifies — these are this skill's own quality checks, straight from its definition.

✓The 0–3s hook is specific and pattern-breaking; it can be said in ~2–3s

✓Total spoken copy fits the target length (no padding)

✓Retention beats each earn the next; at least one pattern interrupt

✓On-screen text and B-roll cues are concrete and editor-ready

✓One clear takeaway and one CTA

⚠️ What it refuses to do

A slow intro ("Hey guys, so today I wanted to talk about…")

Long-form structure crammed into 30s

No on-screen text or visual cues (it's a *video* script, not an essay)
