What problem does it solve? Technical videos fail at the script stage: openings that bury the payoff past the 30-second retention window, narration full of deictic phrases like "click here" that break captions and accessibility, runtimes that double during recording because dead time was never budgeted, and no cut list when the edit runs long. This Skill produces a script a stranger could record from, or diagnoses why an existing script or published video underperforms. ## Core Features & Use Cases - Beat-sheet generation: Produces a two-column visual/narration beat table with per-beat starting states, duration estimates including dead time, core/cuttable markings, chapter titles, a cut plan, and a recording brief. - Shape selection: Picks among seven video shapes (error/fix, changelog clip, short-form, walkthrough, concept explainer, build-along, deep dive) ranked by production effort against the interview's constraints, deleting shapes the team cannot support. - Script review and diagnosis: Grades an existing script beat by beat against a three-cause model (logic break, density drop, unspeakable line) with high/medium/low risk levels, showing original lines beside proposed replacements. - Use Case: Turn a 2,100-word engineering blog post into a 3-minute launch video: the Skill interviews for promise, viewer and constraints, transposes the post into claims rather than headings, and returns a beat sheet with chapters, cut plan and recording brief. ## Quick Start Ask the assistant to turn your blog post, changelog entry, or working demo into a shooting-ready video script with a beat table, chapter list, and recording brief.
