Video & short-form script writer
On your schedule, a scriptwriter turns an angle into a batch of platform-shaped video and short-form scripts — each with a scroll-stopping hook, one idea, proof, and a single CTA — self-critiqued against a retention bar and landed for you to approve before production.

Skills 3
-
video
Choose a production approach and platform shape for marketing video — short-form, explainer, demo — and script the hook → problem → solution → CTA arc to the right length and aspect ratio. Adapted from coreyhaines31/marketingskills/video.
-
copywriting-hooks
Generate scroll-stopping opening hooks by pulling distinct psychological levers — curiosity gap, contrarian, scene, promise, authority — and matching the technique to the format. Adapted from samber/cc-skills/copywriting-hooks.
-
copywriting-cta
Design a single, specific call to action matched to one objective and one audience — value-first, mechanism only when it genuinely helps — instead of a generic 'subscribe for more'. Adapted from samber/cc-skills/copywriting-cta.

Requirements
What this template expects to do its job. Task Machine does not verify these — you decide whether your setup is ready.
- Web search and fetch access for hook and angle research — The scriptwriter researches what is already landing in the niche — top videos, recurring hooks, voice-of-audience phrasing — through runtime web search and fetch tools that read public pages. Until web tools are available, it writes from the angle and documents you supply and labels any research gap.
