What problem does it solve? Short-form videos lose most viewers in the first seconds, and scripts written separately from the video timeline drift out of sync. This Skill produces scroll-stopping hook copy, retention-engineered beat sheets, and storyboards where every script clause maps to a timed visual beat for Instagram Reels, TikTok, and YouTube Shorts. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Hook copywriting formulas: Five proven templates (curiosity gap, contrarian, results-first, specific number, pain point) with rules for first-frame text and mute-first viewing. - Retention engineering: Diagnoses drop-off patterns (the Cliff, the Hump, the Plateau) and applies pacing density, open loops, pattern interrupts, and loop endings. - Script-to-timeline sync: Generates dual-column storyboards where each 3-5 word script block maps to a HyperFrames clip with matching data-start/data-duration attributes and GSAP timeline positions. - Automated audit harness: Runs audit-storyboard.mjs to check hook placement, beat structure, sync contracts, and render determinism, then a fresh auditor subagent scores the storyboard out of 50 before delivery. - Use Case: A creator planning a 30-second finance reel uses the Skill to pick a contrarian hook, build a 5-beat storyboard with timed text overlays, and validate it with the audit harness before rendering. ## Quick Start Ask the agent to write a hook and 30-second storyboard for your topic, for example: create a retention-optimized storyboard for a TikTok about three money rules nobody tells you.
