Write a high-retention YouTube script — explainer, tutorial, video essay, review, or talking head — on the packaging then cold-open then value-stack then retention structure that holds watch time past the drop-off cliffs. Use when asked to write a YouTube script, script a long-form or explainer video, draft a video hook, outline a video essay, or turn a blog post or talk into a video. Produces title and thumbnail concepts, multiple hook options, a beat-by-beat body with retention devices, and clear visual and audio cues.
🗣 Say this to your agent
“Write a YouTube script about my personal productivity system.”“Help me script a 10-minute video explaining inflation to college students.”“I need a YouTube outline and script for a tutorial on clean code in Python.”“Draft a retention-optimized YouTube script on how to build a SaaS in 2026.”
What to give it
▸Topic / Concept — What is the video about? (e.g., "How I built a SaaS in 30 days")
▸Target Audience — Who is watching? (e.g., beginner developers, student designers)
▸Target Duration — Approximate length in minutes (e.g., 5-7 minutes, 10-15 minutes)
▸Script Tone / Voice — E.g., energetic, educational, storytelling, conversational, comedic
▸Primary Goal — e.g., get newsletter signups, sell a course, increase viewer retention
✅ 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.
✓Every title option is under 60 characters to prevent truncation on mobile devices.
✓No generic intro fillers (e.g., "Welcome back to my channel," "Don't forget to like and subscribe") in the first 60 seconds of any hook or script section.
✓Visual direction (B-roll, text overlays, zoom adjustments) is specified at least once every 10 seconds in the main script.
✓Script transitions to the Call to Action immediately after the payoff without declaring "in conclusion" or "thank you for watching."
✓Spoken audio lines are written in conversational language (short sentences, natural pauses, no overly academic jargon).
⚠️ What it refuses to do
Do not write paragraphs of dialogue without accompanying visual cues. YouTube is a visual-first medium; every paragraph of speech needs visual transitions.
Do not pitch sponsors, channel subscriptions, or external links during the hook (first 60 seconds).
Do not create a single generic hook; always provide 3 distinct hook variations (Contrarian, Story, Pattern Interrupt) to give the creator flexibility.
Do not use a generic outro that triggers the "viewer exit ramp" (e.g., "That's all for today's video, hope you enjoyed, see you next time!"). Suggest another video to keep viewers on the platform.
