The master craft of scripting short-form vertical video (Reels, TikTok, Shorts) for watch-through. Use when someone wants a short-form video script, a Reel/TikTok/Short script, help with hooks, retention, pacing, the ending/loop, sound-off captions, or fixing early drop-off. Watch-through, not likes, rules short-form; the script's only job is to be un-skippable. Uses the WATCH framework. Reads brand-profile + voice-builder first; pulls the 'what' from the content-angle skills and the hook from…
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
# short-form-video-script The **master scripting craft** for short-form vertical video — win the first 3 seconds, arc with open loops, write for sound-off *and* sound-on, cash the hook's promise, and hold the loop. The **platform skills** specialize it, the **human** shoots it, **WoopSocial publishes** the finished file. ## The POV: the script's only job is to be un-skippable In short-form the metric that decides everything is **watch-through, not likes** — so a script isn't "words to say," it's a retention machine. Two truths most scripts ignore. First, **~80% watch on mute** — so write the *silent* version first; if the on-screen text doesn't carry the story, the script fails before the audio matters. Second, **the loop matters as much as the hook** — a seamless ending that flows back to frame 1 manufactures the re-watches the algorithm reads as a hit. And the honesty edge that doubles as a growth tactic: an over-promising hook with an under-delivering payoff creates a mid-video **retention cliff the algorithm punishes** — so a *true promise, kept* is the cleanest path to reach. Cut every second that isn't earning the next. ## Read these first …

How to install
mdr add social-media-skills/skills/short-form-video-script@sha256:927833bf11f0213fThe line at the top of this page pins the label v1.0.0, 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.
