platform-optimization

Optimize short-form video by applying platform-native best practices: craft 3-second hooks, target 75%+ retention, follow 2025 algorithm guidelines, and match each platform's optimal length. TikTok favors 15–60 seconds, Instagram Reels 15–90 seconds, and YouTube Shorts 15–60 seconds with native engagement strategies.

Write TikTok scripts using the 3-second hook pattern followed by retention-focused body content. Lead with a visual or verbal hook, maintain 75%+ viewer retention through pacing and relevance, and close with a call-to-action. Use platform-native script templates tailored to current algorithm shifts.

Cross-platform repurposing requires enforcing adaptation rules specific to each platform's format, length, and engagement mechanics. Apply platform-ready templates, adjust hooks and pacing, follow cross-posting risk guidelines, and validate hook placement and length criteria for TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts.

2025 algorithm updates emphasize retention, hook quality, and native content signals. TikTok, Instagram Reels, and YouTube Shorts prioritize early viewer engagement and watch-through rates. The Skill provides current algorithm-informed recommendations and best practices for optimal lengths, hook placement, and engagement metrics.

Convert long-form scripts by extracting key messages, applying platform-specific length constraints (15–90 seconds depending on platform), crafting native hooks within 3 seconds, and using cross-platform adaptation rules. Use template-backed workflows to preserve core messaging while optimizing for each platform's engagement criteria.

Cross-posting risks include algorithm penalties for non-native formatting, lower engagement if hooks or pacing don't match platform expectations, and reduced reach if content doesn't follow 2025 guidelines. Mitigate by applying platform-specific templates, testing retention targets, and following defined cross-posting risk guidelines.
