What problem does it solve?
This Skill solves the challenge of creating high-retention, platform-ready short-form video plans by turning your idea into shot-by-shot storyboards that optimize for the first seconds of viewing.
Core Features & Use Cases
- Retention-first storyboarding: Builds hooks and pacing around measurable early retention (including the 3-second rule) rather than generic film conventions.
- Platform-specific specs & safe zones: Adapts timing, framing (center safe zone), and output expectations for TikTok, Reels, and Shorts.
- Ready-to-shoot templates: Provides structure for organic shorts and UGC direct-response ads, including named hook formulas and a shot table format.
- Production-ready guidance: Covers cuts cadence, caption strategy, audio guidance, and A/B testing variables for hook and proof timing.
Quick Start
Ask the storyboard skill to create a shot-by-shot storyboard for a TikTok UGC ad targeting a 21–34 second sweet spot, using a specified hook type and including on-screen text plus VO for each shot.
