Write a short-form video script for TikTok, Instagram Reels, or YouTube Shorts — built on the hook→retention→payoff structure that drives watch-time. Use when asked to script a Reel, TikTok, Short, or any 15–60s vertical video. Produces a timed script with a 0–3s hook, retention beats with on-screen text and B-roll cues, a payoff, and a CTA — plus a caption and on-screen-text list. Distinct from long-form YouTube scripting.

# Short-Form Script Skill

Short-form lives and dies in the first 3 seconds, then by whether each beat earns the next. This skill writes a script engineered for *watch-time and re-watches* — tight hook, momentum, a payoff worth sharing — not a talking-head ramble.

## Working from a brief

Given a topic or a long-form source, **write the full script anyway**, inferring the angle and the single takeaway. Keep total spoken copy to ~30–45s (≈80–120 words). Never pad to fill time — short and re-watchable beats long.

## Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided):
- **Topic / the idea** (or a long-form video/post to cut down)
- **Platform** (TikTok / Reels / Shorts) and rough **length** (15/30/60s)
- **Creator voice** (or pull from a [[creator-brand-kit]]) and the **CTA** (follow, link in bio, comment)
