# YouTube Script Writer Skill

This skill helps creators write highly engaging, structured, and visually-dynamic scripts optimized for YouTube's retention algorithm. It converts raw ideas, articles, or transcripts into a ready-to-shoot script with clear visual cues, pacing indicators, and audio directions.

## What This Skill Produces

- **3 Title & Thumbnail Concepts:** CTR-optimized titles matching distinct psychological triggers (curiosity, result-driven, contrarian) paired with clear visual thumbnail layout suggestions.
- **3 Hook Variations (0:00 - 0:30):** Different hook formats (contrarian statement, story setup, pattern interrupt) that deliver immediately on the title's promise.
- **Retention-Optimized Script Table:** A side-by-side or block-formatted script separating video cues (B-roll, camera angles, text overlays, zooms) and audio cues (dialogue, voiceover, sound effects, music changes).
- **Outro & Video Metadata:** A seamless video outro designed to prevent viewer exit, along with search-optimized description templates and relevant tags.

## Required Inputs

Ask the user for these if not provided:
- **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)
