Overview

This skill writes engaging, tightly structured scripts for short-form video content (15–90 seconds) optimized for Instagram Reels and TikTok. It focuses on clear hooks, pacing, and call-to-action language to maximize watch-through and engagement. Use it to turn ideas into ready-to-shoot micro-scripts that fit platform norms and creator constraints.

How this skill works

Provide the topic, target audience, tone, and desired length and the skill generates a script with a strong opening hook, 2–4 story beats, and a concise CTA. It can iterate on drafts, tighten pacing for a specific runtime, and adapt language for humor, education, or promotional goals. It also offers review suggestions and optimization tips based on common short-form best practices.

When to use it

  • You need a ready-to-perform script for a 15–90 second Reel or TikTok.
  • You want a strong hook and clear narrative structure for a short clip.
  • You need to convert a product feature or idea into a punchy script.
  • You’re refining captions and CTAs to increase conversions or follows.
  • You want to adapt a longer piece of content into a short-form format.

Best practices

  • Start with one clear objective: entertain, teach, or convert.
  • Lead with a 1–3 second hook that makes viewers stop scrolling.
  • Keep lines short, visual, and easy to lip-sync or perform.
  • Specify camera actions or visual cues to match beats.
  • Test multiple CTAs and openings; iterate based on retention data.

Example use cases

  • Launch script for a new product feature, 45 seconds, demo + CTA.
  • Educational micro-lesson breaking a concept into 3 quick steps.
  • Challenge or trend adaptation with a branded twist and hook.
  • Before/after transformation story with emotional payoff and CTA.
  • Creator intro clip to boost follows and highlight content niche.

FAQ

Can this skill tailor scripts to specific trends?

Yes — provide the trend context and desired angle and it will adapt the script to fit the format while keeping the creator’s voice.

How do I ensure the script matches a target runtime?

Specify the target duration and speaking pace; the script will be trimmed or expanded into the appropriate number of beats and lines.
