Writes what is said in a video — the words a person speaks on camera, or a voiceover heard over the picture. Fits the writing to the time available, so lines are never rushed to fit or padded to fill. A video longer than a single clip gets its script split into one piece per clip, each sized to that clip's seconds. Outputs the words as text only — nothing is recorded or voiced here. Use when the user wants a script, dialogue, or a voiceover written for a video.

Collected from public GitHub. Every version is saved exactly as it was and never changes. Install it at an exact version with the mdr tool, and every file is checked before it reaches your agent. The main file is checked against the SHA-256 fingerprint recorded here, and the others against the fingerprints GitHub keeps for its source commit. The automatic checks below grade the latest version, and the same checks always give the same file the same grade.

What the file says

# Video Script

Write the whole monologue first, to the video's total length, then cut it into one segment per clip.

## Workflow

### Step 1: Collect what the video has already fixed

These are decided before the script is written, and the writing has to fit inside them:

- **a brief of what the words should communicate** — the script is written from this, cut to fit the duration where it won't all fit
- how long the video runs in total
- how many clips it is, and how many seconds each one runs
- which beats of the story land in which clip — what happens on screen, not what gets said
- whether the words are spoken on camera or carried as a voiceover
- which claims may be made, if any

Where any of these is missing, ask for it rather than assuming it.

### Step 2: Work out the budget

Speech runs at a fixed pace, so the word count isn't a style choice.

- **Aim for 2-3 words per second of clip.** That is the target — a 15-second clip wants about 30 to 40 words.
- **Never go past three words per second.** That is the ceiling, and it is the number Step 6 tests
  against. A 15-second clip fails at 46 words.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add supercmohq/supercmo-skills/writing-video-scripts@sha256:6b951e286baf0121

The line at the top of this page pins the label v0.3.0, which is what most people want. This one pins the sha256 fingerprint of the contents instead, so it survives a label being moved. Either way the exact version is written to mdr.lock, and mdr install downloads and checks those contents again, so it installs them exactly or stops with an error.
