YouTube Script Writer (Shorts to Long-Form)
Shootable YouTube scripts from the title promise: hook in seconds, pacing by format, runtime-matched word count, one CTA, editor cues.
Before & after
Same prompt, same agent — the only difference is the skill.
Hey everyone, welcome back to the channel! Today we're going to be talking about five amazing AI tools that can help your small business. Make sure to like and subscribe before we get started! Tool number one is ChatGPT. ChatGPT is a large language model made by OpenAI that can help you write emails, blog posts, and more... Tool number two is Canva. Canva uses AI to help you create beautiful designs... [continues through all five tools in the same flat list format, ending with] So those were my five AI tools for small businesses! Let me know in the comments which one is your favorite, and I'll see you in the next video!
HOOK (0:00–0:12) "I replaced a $4,000/month agency with five AI tools that cost me $97. Here's the exact stack — and the one tool I'd never pay for again." [B-ROLL: invoice on screen, dramatic zoom on total] SETUP (0:12–0:35) Quick credibility: what the agency did, what broke, why I tested this for 90 days. Open loop: "Tool #4 saved me 11 hours a week — but it's not the one everyone recommends." TOOL SEGMENTS (0:35–7:40) Each tool gets: the job it replaced → 15-sec screen demo → real cost → who should skip it. Re-hook between #2 and #3: "This next one is why the agency called me back." PAYOFF (7:40–8:20) Reveal tool #4 with the time-saved receipt. Callback to the hook number. CTA (8:20–end) One ask only: "The full stack with pricing is in the description — grab it before you build yours."
About this skill
Scripts that keep viewers past the first 30 seconds and that an editor can cut from directly. The hook pays off the title and thumbnail before anything else.
What it does
- Starts from the title and thumbnail promise and confirms it in the first seconds
- Shapes structure and re-hook pacing to Shorts, standard, or long-form
- Matches word count to runtime at speaking pace, and recommends a shorter video instead of padding
- Places one CTA where viewers are still watching and adds chapters and b-roll and on-screen cues inline
- Uses placeholders for your real stories and results instead of inventing them, and marks platform rules to verify
What you get
A timed script with hook, beats, open loops, CTA, editor cues, chapter list, word count, and a list of placeholders for your own material.
Best for
YouTube creators and video marketers scripting Shorts, explainers, and long-form videos.
