Write a long-form video script for YouTube — an explainer, tutorial, video essay, review, or talking-head — built on the packaging→cold-open→value-stack→retention structure that holds watch-time past the drop-off cliffs. Use when asked to script a YouTube video, write a long-form or explainer/tutorial video script, outline a video essay, or turn a blog post/talk into a video. Produces title + thumbnail concepts, a timed cold open, a segmented body with retention devices and B-roll cues, integrated CTAs, an outro/end-screen, and a description with chapter timestamps. Distinct from [[short-form-script]] (15–60s vertical).

# YouTube Script Skill

Long-form video is won twice: first the **packaging** earns the click, then the **script** keeps the promise the packaging made. A YouTube video does not fail in the middle — it fails at predictable cliffs (the first 30 seconds, the ~2-minute mark, the midpoint). This skill writes a script engineered to survive those cliffs: a cold open that pays off fast, value delivered early and escalated, and an open loop pulling the viewer across every segment.

## Working from a brief

Given a topic, a blog post, a talk transcript, or a rough outline, **write the full script anyway** — infer the single promise and the audience. Target the requested runtime (default ~8–12 min ≈ 1,200–1,800 spoken words; ~130–150 words/min). Never pad to hit a length; a tight 7 minutes beats a bloated 12. If the topic is genuinely short, say so and recommend [[short-form-script]] instead.

## Required Inputs

Ask for (if not already provided, else infer and label the assumption):
- **Topic / the idea** (or a source: blog post, transcript, docs) and the **one promise** the video delivers
- **Audience** and their level (complete beginner → practitioner)
- **Target runtime** (~5 / ~10 / ~20 min) and **format** (explainer, tutorial, video essay, review, talking-head/vlog)
