YouTube Script Writing

Inputs

Use the topic brief, target length, audience, tone, claims to verify, and required format.

Structure

Write scripts with:

  • Cold hook: first 5-15 seconds.
  • Setup: explain why the viewer should care.
  • Body: 3-6 clear sections or story beats.
  • Retention beats: questions, reveals, contrast, stakes, examples.
  • Payoff: answer the promise from the title.
  • CTA: brief and relevant.

Output Format

Create script.md:

# Script

## Video Metadata
- Working title:
- Target length:
- Tone:

## Hook

## Full Narration

## Scene Table
| Time | Narration | Visual | On-screen Text | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|---|

## Asset List

## Claims To Verify

## Voice Direction

Writing Rules

  • Keep sentences easy to speak.
  • Avoid long paragraphs in narration.
  • Put visual ideas beside the exact narration they support.
  • Use concrete examples instead of abstract filler.
  • Do not fabricate facts; mark uncertain claims for verification.

Quality Check

Read the hook and final payoff together. They must match. If the script promises one thing and delivers another, revise before moving on.
