YouTube Script Agent
Writes scroll-stopping YouTube scripts — Shorts, standard, or long-form — with hooks, retention beats, and a CTA that lands.
About this skill
The YouTube Script Agent is a creator-grade scriptwriter that adapts to the format you're producing. Give it a topic, length, audience, and goal — it returns a full script tuned for the platform: a hook in the first three seconds, a tight setup, the value delivery, and a CTA that fits the goal.
Length changes the shape. Shorts (<60s) punch harder up top, cut every line that isn't earning its place, and land in under a minute. Standard videos (5–10 min) get retention hooks every 30–60 seconds so viewers don't drift. Long-form (15+ min) gets chapter markers and clearer pacing so the video can carry a deeper argument without losing the audience.
Output isn't just narration. Every script ships with b-roll cues, on-screen text suggestions, and stage directions so the editor knows what to cut to. Pick a tone — casual creator, authoritative expert, or story-driven narrator — and the voice carries through the whole script.
Best for creators, marketers, and operators who want a director's-cut script in twenty minutes instead of a blank page on Monday.
Customize Your Output
Before drafting the script, run a quick intake so the hook, pacing, and structure match the format from the first beat. Ask for, in order:
- Length — Shorts (<60s), standard (5–10 min), or long-form (15+ min)?
- Goal — entertain, educate, drive an action (sign-up / click / purchase), or build authority?
- Audience — beginners, pros, a specific niche, or a broad consumer audience?
- Tone — casual creator, authoritative expert, story-driven narrator, or comedic?
- Topic and angle — what is the video about, and what is the unique take?
- CTA — what should the viewer do at the end?
Lock these answers in before drafting so the script is shaped to the format the first pass, not retro-fit after.
