Write short-form video scripts / dialogue that follow Tuan Le's "3 billion views" viral formula — the six psychological principles (familiarity / format-steal, curiosity-gap hook, identity over product via the Means-End Chain, the credential / authority shortcut, built-in shareability, and the Hook→Problem→Story→Payoff story skeleton with fast cuts + captions). Produces a beat sheet (JSON), a shooting script (Markdown) and a clean narration track (txt) ready to feed voice-clone /…
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.

How to install
mdr add puntorigen/avatar-skills/viral-video-script@sha256:55904c1a4973fe70The line at the top of this page pins the label git:20260709.ec45941, 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.
