Writes retention-engineered long-form YouTube scripts on a hook/body/payoff architecture - a first-30-seconds hook that survives the retention cliff, a beat-sheet body with mini-hooks and bridges, timed pattern interrupts, and a payoff that over-delivers - with B-roll and editing cues marked inline. Use when someone says "script my next video", "my retention graph dies at the start", "tighten this draft", or "outline a video on X". Do NOT use for the 3-second opener of TikTok, Reels, or Shorts…

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

# YouTube Script Writer

Long-form YouTube is won on average view duration, and view duration is engineered in the script, not the edit. The two moments that decide a video are the first 30 seconds - the retention cliff, where the largest share of viewers leave - and the mid-video sag, where an unstructured body bleeds watchers one beat at a time. This skill produces scripts built on a three-part architecture: a hook that earns the first 30 seconds, a beat-structured body that delivers on the promise, and a payoff that rewards past what was promised.

## Operating procedure

### Step 1: gather inputs

1. The video's single payoff: what the viewer knows or can do at the end, in one sentence. No payoff, no script.
2. Format: education/tutorial, story/documentary, or opinion/commentary - this selects the hook formula.
3. Target length. Default 8-12 minutes for education; the pattern-interrupt count derives from this.
4. The thumbnail/title promise, if already concepted - the hook must pay it off in the first 30 seconds or the click feels baited.
5. The creator's speaking pace if known; default 150 words per minute for timing the beat sheet.

How to install

The exact contents, by fingerprint
mdr add skillmedev/creator-studio/youtube-script-writer@sha256:c07ba399a3e7d043

The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20261005.21980fd, 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.
